American Inn Chesapeake - Portsmouth

Pulling up I thought it was gonna be just a run down motel but I was wrong. The rooms need some updating for sure. Holes in walls, slightly dirty, fridge was broken, but the bed was comfortable. Price was just right. Staff hardly looked you in the eye and weren't all that friendly. But I got what I came for.

Due to the COVID lock down, I found myself having to move out of the home I rented for 5 years previously. I found this location online and moved in for what I thought was going to be for a month or so. However, I ended up staying there for over a year. The time I stayed there seemed to be the place I needed to be as it allowed me to reach all of my customers I. North Carolina, Suffolk, Hampton, Williamsburg and beyond. It was perfect for me and my circumstances. The owners are super-nice and accommodating. The staff were equally nice and endeavored to keep the place neat, clean and secure. There are other long-term residents sprinkled about the complex and have become a little friendly community willing to help and provide assistance to the guests whom come there as well. I will remember my time there with warmth and fondness. I am grateful for this place as it gave me a "home away from home".
