UNSAFE AND DISGUSTING!!Do not stay here, we walked in our room and there was a cockroach on our bed just chillin. There were bugs on the wall and it smelt disgusting!We let the owner know there was bugs he refused to give us a refund and said "oh I'll let my maid know that she did a poor job cleaning"If I could give this crap hole no stars I would!

I stayed here for a work trip for close to a month. The staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms are very updated. From the outside you might think to stay somewhere else but you should definitely give it a try. Best bang for your buck in the Pismo area and I tried 3 others.

Very happy with our three-day stay here. Room was clean and comfortable. Water pressure was awesome. Place was quiet and service was excellent.

What an awful, awful place. And super unfriendly staff to boot. I arrived at 10:45pm after driving 6 hours. The man at the front desk refused to honor the reservation, saying I had too many kids. I ended up booking across the street at the Pacific inn, which was friendly and welcoming.Steer clear of the “American” inn, which is just about as far from friendly American hospitality as you can get.

Had to cancel Thursday sep 14th night after 8 hrs of driving with our 7 year old and 3 month old due to the wildfire. We called and explained we had to cancel and the dude still charged us more then if we had stayed. It's not like we wanted to cancel. They closed the roads for the wildfire. There was no physical way to get there. And I'm not driving through a wildfire with my children to line your pockets. It wasn't safe nor could we actually go anywhere. Dude sleezy and looks for any thing. I bet if we had died he would still charge. For something called American inn i expected something that has respect behind it. Regardless guys a f head and doesn't deserve your business. It was icing on the cake as we were traveling for my father's funeral. So thanks dude your a pos.

I would to start by saying that after I made my reservation and looked at the reviews I was very disappointed and was worried I was going to walk into a terrible hotel room. However I just checked out of this hotel and had nothing but great experiences here at this hotel. On our day of arrival the owner called and asked us what time he should expect us to arrive which I thought was very sweet and thoughtful. The owner who runs it was very kind and welcoming. When making the reservation I asked about a healthcare worker discount and he gave me 15% off which was great. The king room was very nice, new floors, newly remodeled bathroom with an exquisite shower. Our microwave and fridge were a great addition to the room. We were on the second floor so I can't speak for noise on the first floor, however for the hotel being almost fully booked out the noise level was never a problem for us. I would 100% stay at this hotel again. We came up to go riding on the dunes and we were towing a 10x 6 trailer and they accommodated parking for us and allowed us to drop the trailer in one parking spot and the truck in a parking spot next to it. It is located in a nice area with gas stations and liquor stores in walking distance and is about a 12 minute walk to the beach at the grand ave beach entrance.

I came across this hotel when we were looking for a place to stay for our anniversary, we could have gone with a fancy hotel but we just needed a place to sleep since we were out practically most of our stay .Needless to say the stay here was surprisingly very good , my husband had reached out to Mike (owner)days in advance and had asked to do something special for our room and to my surprise I walked in to a decorated room , that was very unexpected and heartfelt ❤️Being the first time that the owner was asked to do something like this & he went along with it , speaks volumes of how well he listens to the customers and his service to them .The room was very clean , bedding, bathroom, towels , shampoo, body wash and soap dispensers were nice . We had clean air AC that kept the room very cool for this summer weather . There were multiple of outlets to plug in your chords . And the service from staff hands down the best .Thank you Mike and staff . We would definitely be staying here again ! ❤️

Place says dog friendly which it technically is but that have a notice posted that you can't leave pets unattended or they charge you a crazy amount of money.

I went to stay with my family and we had a great time there. The rooms were clean and the staff was super helpful. My key wouldn’t work the first and the front desk came and helped me out and showed me how to properly work it.Rooms: The rooms are neat and tidy. They have an amazing vibe to the motel. Not too extravagant, nice and quietWalkability: It is super close to the beach and it is a pleasant walk especially with family

*****Unsafe*****Traveled a distance to see sick family member. My family asked where we were staying I told them The American Inn on 5th St. We were informed that we shouldn't stay there because this establishment is used as a halfway home and our safety is a great concern! We went to speak to management and he just shrugged and said not his problem. I asked to be refunded of course he refused. I would rather be out the $300.00 than risk the safety of my sister and I. The website depicted a nice safe hotel close to my sick sibling so I felt it okay to pay but upon arrival and what was indicated as to the type of establishment it is, it is too late they have your funds! Please be weary of paying in full!

July 2023 We booked this hotel because it was cheap and right down the street from the beach. Honestly I wanted to leave once we got into the room none of us feel comfortable enough to even sit or lay on the bed just based on what we can see ( the old soap bars left behind, the stains on the bed sheets ) you can tell they do not throughly clean these rooms and that is a big red flag. Last time we will ever be staying here & last time I let my husband book the hotel

Only weird part was, no extra guests allowed. So if you are meeting up with friends in town they can't come back with you to your room. Other than that the rooms were very nice and clean. Appreciate the service.Rooms: Very nice and clean.Nearby activities: The beach is about a 5 minute car ride right down the street. And downtown Pismo is about 10 minutes away.

My husband and I stayed at the American Inn in June 2023. We could see that the room had been updated. The shower was really nice. At every hotel we stay at, I always check it for cleanliness. I found our room to be lacking. On the base of the toilet, there was a good amount of urine and a hair. The cover sheet on the bed had a gray stain, a pillow with yellow and dark stains, and a dead bug in the shower. I went to the nearest store and bought cleaning products because at this point, I was not sure how thorough the room was cleaned. After this experience and the amount we payed, we will not be staying at this place again.
