Review of American Motel
2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Oct 2018via mobile
Room was warm and musty. It’s also outdated and needs updated. Door to lobby locked shut because it doesn’t work properly. Price was higher than on their website. Take your money and run to another hotel or Hickory. So glad there is a new hotel coming soon near this location.

We are not high budget travelers - prefer to spend our money on activities rather than fancy lodging - and we travel with a dog. This hotel overcharged for our pet and the owner/manager was unfriendly - not worth it on top of the longer drive to the various attractions.

We do not recognize or support tripadvisor as our legal business partner. We discontinued them many years ago knowing they do not hold any credibility, and for that reason they allow only fake negative reviews for our business. Anything or everything that you see on tripadvisor for our business details are completely outdated. We've been receiving calls to update our business details on their web site. However, we do not have any interest to update our business details on tripadvisor web site or to continue doing business with them. We do not believe tripadvisors reviews for our business or any other business are all legit. Hope this helps others.

Not a place for staying one week but good enough for one night on your way to wherever. Service was great and the room size was ok for just 2 people. A bit noisy (due to our neighbours....) but nice in general

We stayed in the motel for one night on a way to our mountain adventure in Blowing Rock. The cost of the room we paid was $70/night, what was a half from what other hotels charged in the area. Its a very good deal considering central location and free breakfast. Rooms were clean and comfortable, front desk staff was very helpful, and check-in process quick.
One thing that bothered me a little was a noise from main road that was only a few feet away, but I always carry ear plugs and it helped. If you like quiet time - get a room on opposite side, hope its quieter there.
Breakfast was very basic with cereal options, bagels and toasts. Orange juice and coffee were only drink options offered. I wish they had fruites or a yogurt..
In general it was a positive experience and we recommend this place for your stay.

Room tip: Ask for a room away from main road

Evidently the motel had gone renovations.There were new mattresses,Boxsprings,Lighting fixtures,new paint,new furniture,flat screen tvs,microwave ovens,small refrigerator,new carpeting.The only thing I saw that was old was the ac/heating unit.Staff was super friendly.And down the road on 321 N,there was a BBQ place named Hannahs,Had the best BBQ We've had in a long time.Motel was only approx 40 miles from the mountains.Would definietly recommend this place for a inexpensive place to stay,only 69.00 for a double queen room.

I was planning on staying there for 5 days, due to an emergency I left the morning after I checked in. There was a strong odor of urine in the room. If I was going to be staying for the 5 days I would have demanded a different room.The carpet and furnishings are in desperate need of being replaced. I was charged for the entire 5 days, even though I stopped at the front desk and explained my situation I was told that they don't reimburse for leaving early. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone,!!
