American Host Inn

I couldn't talk highly enough. This place and the owners was so wonderful. I'd go bk to their Inn every time I go to MI. The room and building was fabulous. They truly are great ppl and would do anything to make ur stay more comfortable. We came up on my birthday (July 23rd 2023) to take our jeep out on the sand dunes for the 1st time ever seeing MI and was able to check in a day early on short notice and had to end up leaving a day early, but without a doubt the place was wonderful with great ppl. Can't put a price on comfort and friendly ppl. I always check our beds and such and the lady never got offended when I done it right infront of her, she encouraged me....lol.....they rly care about their business and it truly shows. Truly great ppl, always greeted us in the halls and outside and in passing. If ur in the area, you must stop in for a stay. I highly recommend.

Such a great place to stay! Cora was fantastic, she was totally understanding when I had to call ahead and tell her we would be arriving after check-in, and she was just overall very nice. The room was great, very comfortable bed and a cute aesthetic. Plus there was a delicious diner right in the parking lot that we stopped at for breakfast! The entire inn was really cute, we were honestly disappointed that we only were staying the one night. We will definitely be coming back.

Thank you to the owners for their hospitality! I felt so at home and cozy. Exceptionally clean rooms and building. They put a lot of love and labor in here and it shows! As soon as she knew we drank coffee during the day there was always a pot on and that was so thoughtful. Made sure we had all the things we needed. I will stay here again and can’t wait to come back :)

We actually stayed here twice in one week, and both times we had exceptionally clean rooms, comfortable beds, and it's not far from the dunes/beaches. Great value for your money. Friendly, dedicated staff. Will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Cleaner than a 5 star hotel
Homier than your sweet grandmother’s house
Affordable rates

The couple that runs this place is the sweetest couple you can meet. We got a call from them during our motorcycle ride up from Chicago (Doing the Lake Michigan Circle Tour on motorcycles) just letting us know they are waiting for us and hoping we get there safe. We were a group of three couples, taking three rooms. When we got there, they - The couple (I’m assuming they were married) and there their cute toy puddle named “Bear” - greeted us at the entrance with smiles and a warm welcome. Bear occasionally walks on its hind legs like a bear (hence the name “Bear”). They quickly checked us in and told us what we needed to know about the rooms, etc. Already knowing the rooms were going to be clean (since we already saw how clean the lobby was) we went straight in and saw exactly what we expected. The absolute cleanest a room can be. It was as if we were the first ever to stay in the rooms. I didn’t even see dust on the base boards. The beds were crazy comfy, the towels were so soft and fluffy. We couldn’t have gotten it any more perfect. After an awesome night of sleep, we started to pack our motorcycles and the lady made sure to personally thank me for reserving the rooms with her and thanked all of us for staying with them. About 3 hours after we left, the man, which I’m assuming is the lady’s husband called us, telling us they appreciated our company and they hoped we were having a great ride on the motorcycles. When we finally got home three days later, I checked my mail and found a post card from that couple, thanking us again for staying with them. Needless to say, I WILL ALWAYS BE STAYING WITH THEM, at their hotel, when I’m in the area, even if I have to stay a few miles away from where I need to be.

Thank you Dan and Dar! We appreciate your attention to detail and your personal touch!!!

Extremely clean and comfortable rooms. The owners were very helpful and considerate. After reading some of these negative reviews it bothers me. The owners of this establishment couldn't have been more kind! We would absolutely stay with these folks again. We even received a thank you card for our stay with them shortly after our return home! Thank you for such a great experience!

The owners of this hotel are an amazing couple. So wonderful to us. Great hospitality. The rooms were clean. The towels we fluffy and soft. you can tell this sweet couple live for this hotel and it's visitors. My family and I will stay there again when we come back to the dunes!

We got there pretty late but the staff waited for us. We checked in the room was nicer than I was expecting. Friendly older couple own it. We plan on staying there again next time we are going to the dunes for the weekend. They even sent a postcard after our stay thanking us for coming.

Super clean and quiet. And super nice people. Not sure how anyone can give them a poor review??
Beautiful walking path in the back and you can rent bikes! We loved our stay. We will definitely stay here again.

Super clean, modern and comfortable place. Located right next to a very good place for breakfast and lunch, and across the road from the Big Hart Brew Pub, which totally rocks btw. The staff are very friendly and personable. And the rates are very reasonable. I tend to avoid the smaller chains and independent places because, as a frequent traveler, I've got enough stuff that I can't avoid leaving to chance, so I generally look for consistency. Well this place was more than a pleasant surprise. If I ever come back to this region, this will be my first choice.

A very pleasant stay. The rooms are super clean. The hotel staff is very, very friendly. I needed a place to store my Jeep doors, and the owner let me store them in a secure place. Even brought out some tools and helped me pull the doors off. One was stuck. I could not have asked for a more pleasant stay.

Quaint motel. Friendly owner. Super comfortable bed. Very quiet. Great tv channel selection. So happy we decided to stay here. Water temp and pressure could have been better, but it isn't worth a complaint. Best motel rate in the area. Note: NO pets or smoking in rooms.

Very clean,quiet, comfortable rooms. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. We rode the Hart/Montague bicycle trail. Very convenient as you can pick up the trail right behind the inn. Very close to Silver Lake dune area. We'll stay here if we're in the area again!

a nice clean well maintained hotel. the price was good. the staff was very friendly and accommodating. we recommend staying here.
no breakfast but a nice little restaurant across the parking lot

This place is unreal for the money felt like I was home very CLEAN N FRIENDLY PEOPLE . Even though they don't allow PETS LOL . Understandable cause of other pet owners luckily I left my co-pilot home that week do to joint custody LOL .

Watch out for the lady at the counter in the evening her an Coffee don't get along with the desk . Thank you Dar n Don for having a great place for travelers' to stay .~ Nick A HAPPY TRUCKER

Great hospitality....thanks for all the coffee ☕...we had an awesome stay.....highly recommend American Host Inn in Hart Michigan 👍

Very welcoming host and the room was nice and clean and had a refrig, coffee and coffee maker. Great location to grad a bite to eat next door or across the street.

Wonderful little hotel. Even more wonderful people running it. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. the entire grounds and building are kept in very good condition! Highly recommend!

Don is a saint! When my husband and I were traveling home from vacationing in Ludington our car was struck by a turkey which shattered our windshield rendering us unable to drive home. The gentleman who towed our car off the highway recommended this hotel and I am forever grateful that he did. The room was cozy, clean, and comfortable - just what we needed after a hectic experience. Don was extremely compassionate and made himself readily available to assist us with any need which included: allowing us to dry our soaking wet camping gear on the patio, searching the phone book for an auto glass repair vendor, offering his personal vehicle to us, allowing us to stay an additional two hours past check out, and finally jumping our car after the windshield was replaced because the car battery had died. We cannot thank Don and his dog Bear for the hospitality and grace that he showed us and wish him well. - The Sayen's

I was little hesitant to book a room in motel, but this place was very nice and clean. I business travel a lot so for room space and cleanness this hotel was as good as any Marriott hotel. No pool or other fancy stuff but to spend night room and bathroom was out of the ordinary.
