These have actually been some pretty reliable places for me. They have very quiet rooms and you'll know why, if you ever happen to catch one under construction. All of the interior walls in between the rooms are made of concrete block. They always had clean pool areas and well-kept common areas. Rooms are unspectacular, but it's a LOT better than a Motel 6. I would put it on par with something on the order of an HI Express.
Thanks, Standby! That's great advice. These AmericInns are all over some of the areas to which I frequently travel, and I just haven't been brave enough to try one out yet. I'll try one out next time! Another great benefit of FT...
