AmericInn Lodge & Suites

Alright, fellow Unilocalers — I’m going to consider this having taken one for the team, as I stayed at AmericInn based upon reviews on another site (a pet-​friendly hotel site) and not on Unilocal.I think I learned my lesson!
I booked a room at the AmericInn last weekend for me, my husband and our yellow Lab. I was thrilled to find a place that took dogs — and the other site had great reviews (clean, comfortable, accommodating, etc…)
I give this place one star only because they let me bring my dog. End of story. We arrived a little before typical check in and thought we’d see if a room was available. We were told to come back around 3 p.m. and our room would definitely be waiting. So — we had lunch, walked around, and came back at 3 to be told «15 more minutes… please wait over there…» So — we waited. And proceeded to watch about 100 people (including a couple also with a dog that didn’t previously have a reservation) check in ahead of us. I was fuming. My husband and I both approached the desk a few times and said, «any chance our room is ready?» only to be told «15 more minutes… please wait over there…» AAGGHH! Just give us a room already!
I did call another hotel down the road that I knew took dogs to see if they had a single room available (I was seriously ready to walk out — even ready to drive back to Denver and call off the fun in Glenwood!), but unfortunately they only had smoking rooms available and we don’t smoke, so no dice.
When we finally did get our room (no apologies for how long it took — only smug looks from the girls who when they weren’t checking people in bragged about drinking lots of alcohol and having it come out their nose…) it looked directly out onto the highway. Without the A/​C blasting and the TV on, I could have laid in bed with a clicker and counted every single car that went by. The dog was so disturbed (and this is an easy going dog…) that he hid behind a chair in the room the whole time we were there.
The hotel offers free continental breakfast but when we stopped by it was a mad house with lame selection. My husband and I both grabbed an apple and hightailed it out of there.
I was asked to complete an e-​mail survey after our stay which I did with very honest feedback. I received an e-​mail today offering me 50% off my next stay and saying that most guests enjoy that the hotel is close to the highway for easy access. As well, I was told that the «girls» at the front desk were «talked to and reprimanded.» Either way — I will never, ever stay at this hotel again.
