I had read the previous reviews, and thought this would be a bad hotel. We chose it due to proximity, and the fact that they had a pool (a must for our kids). The room was clean, and the bedding seemed new-ish. They had comforters instead of bedspreads, which I prefer. The beds themselves were terribly uncomfortable. Overall, I thought... More

We opted to stay at an AmericInn because I am usually pretty content with the quality and cleanliness of this hotel chain. Not the case in Clear Lake, however.

Lobby is very attractive, and rooms were very comfortable. Swimming pool and game room are available, although I did not use either. Breakfast was fine--breakfast area... More

On my way to Kansas City one night the weather turned bad and I had to stop over in the closest city which was Clear Lake. There were several hotels in a group right off the Intersate I-35 so I just picked one. Upon walking in everything seemed fine. The hotel clerk was very pleasant and proficient at her job.... More
