In need of a major upgrade. Beds comfortable and room quiet so sleeping was easy.
Both the room and the bathroom were clean and bed was cozy. I got some good rest.

Enjoyed My Stay
Really enjoyed our stay at American Inn Chesapeake- Portsmouth Virginia. I recommend this hotel for anyone that is traveling and needs a place to stay. The hotel was quite at night so you can sleep. Stay there if you get a chance but bring your own coffee if you are a coffee drinker like my husband

Fast check in, quiet area. Rooms are old, outdated.
I would stay there again. Had a nice family oriented business and front desk was very nice as well as a job well done. I enjoyed my environment and as well as corporation from front desk with my service animal. Very spacious room and a very nice set up in the room.

Room slightly smelled like weed and it was suppose to be a completely non-smoking room. But the room was clean and service was friendly.
The staff was very nice and friendly (the female staff and elderly man who was part of the cleanning staff), there was however a middlenage gentleman that waas not always in the greatest of moods and did not ever honor anyknind of discount price regaedless how many nights we stayed. The way the housing situation is right now you would think discounted rates would be honored a little better. Overall the numerous times we stayed i was pleased.
