Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

They steal your personal belongings. When missing item mentioned I was confronted with the fact we spilt coffee grounds. The packet was defective. Only decafe given. No regular coffee. Horrible bed. Dangerous bed with woden corners. Not safe.

the bed was very old and worn out, the bedding was the same very old and worn out, so old it was discolered and looked dirty, the worst bed i have ever slept on. the cover was just a thin sheet like material, not warm. the mold smell coming from the wall by me was so strong i covered my face to sleep at all. the door opened out which did not make us feel secure. when we arrived there was a little hole we talked to the person through which was coveered by a piece of 2x4 scrap, it should not have been hard to find something a little nicer. Not clean! whoever said this place is habitable should be sad that we who read the good reviews ended up there. Please don't go here

It's not the most glamorous of locations, nor the swishest of motels, but it was very clean and convenient. Everything worked: lights, 'fridge, coffee maker, microwave... I was somewhat deterred initially by having to ring the bell and talk through a hatch and this seemed to be the default manner of communications, but apart from that, no complaints. Over the course of the week we got chatting with the owner - not through the hatch! - and wish him well.

Room was nice and clean. The owner and his daughter both are liars. We requested a room in front, the owner gave us a room in back and refused to change it. He said the property was booked. There were no other vehicles in the lot all night or in the morning. The daughter lied the next morning when we checked out saying the motel was full. Their customers were dropped off. We saw no one at night or in the morning. Lying seems to run in the family.

We found the hotel room to be very clean and up to date. The front desk staff were very pleasant and friendly. Convenient for the location and reasonable. Suggestions for owners keep up the good work and attention to the property. Small suggest bathroom door frame in 104 needs touch up paint. Otherwise comfortable room!

We stayed three nights while traveling the Punta Gorda/Cape Coral area. There are some expensive places to stay in this area but I am sure that if you need a comfortable clean place to lay your head at night, that doesn’t break the bank, this place works extremely well. I would stay here again. It would be nice to have some fresh brewed coffee in the morning at the front office.

I lucked out and was given a room around the back - #101. The view overlooked a nice grassy area and had palm trees. I'm sure it was quieter than the rooms in front facing the highway. The room was spacious – providing a work desk and chair and a separate table with two chairs. The refrigerator was larger than a typical dorm and the microwave worked great. The bed was very comfortable. The reception/management and housekeeping staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed here 10 days and found it very quiet. The room was clean and felt new. The TV channel options s were great (HBO!) and there was lots of room for me to work, relax and eat in the room. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it – especially if you can score a room around the back!

We were flying out of Punta Gorda early in the morning and wanted to stay as close to the airport as possible, without paying exorbitant prices (such as Four Points by Sheraton). I didn’t know anything about this hotel but after a quick Trip Advisor search I decided to give this one a try. I was very pleased! The American Inn is small (only 12 rooms), family owned (not part of the chain), very clean, with a friendly staff, and a quick ten minute drive to the airport. When I asked about a wake up call (for 4:00 am) the man working the desk said they didn’t have that functionality but he would be happy to set his smart phone and come and knock on my door at 4:00 am (I did not take him up on that). Now that is customer service! I would definitely stay here again.
