“This was one of my favorite hotel stay ever! I wish we were staying longer. The decor was so unique and quirky. I loved the vibe. We were given free PBRs on arrival. The cute downtown area with shops and restaurants was a quick drive. We got amazing smoothies at juice pub & eatery and dinner at fat olives.”

“We had the best time at the Americana! Our little pup was welcomed with NO PET FEE — which was a major reason we decided to try out the Americana vs. the other hotels in the area. The "Barkyard" was perfect for potty breaks. ”

“A disco ball in the room, what could make your stay better? The bed! The bed was amazing. The decorations are fun. The fire pits and corn hole games add extra excitement. To top it off a small dog park. I am sure we will be back!”
