Murdo is a small but friendly town. I had a wonderful experience at the American Inn. My room was simple, clean, and comfortable. The owner was incredibly helpful! He was able to recommend some places to eat and was kind enough to offer a ride (I was on a motorcycle and it was hot out). The location is convenient to the interstate. Definitely worth considering.

They accommodated us last minute on our trip. Reception was very kind and easy to deal with, the booking process was smooth, easy, and seamless. Room was affordable too compared to other rates we were getting. Check in was also quick and easy, they were friendly and prompt. Room was clean with nice little amenities. TV stations came in great. The curtain was nearly black out which was nice for sleeping in. Appreciated the non-carpeted floors too. Was a great place to stop on our way through!

Family run business! God bless America! Rooms were nice, price is right, room has all the amenities! I forgot my watch in the room when we checked out, & they called us immediately to turn around and go back. Great people! I would recommend staying here.

Clean, comfy and didn't pay for amenities we don't use. Quiet. Manager went out of his way to make sure we were able to get keys. Very much appreciated.
