“Sleepn your car instead”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2008

We have never had any problems with any Country Hearth Inns, until last night. There were two couples and we got two rooms, one smoking and one non-smoking. Our room, (non-smoking) was obviously a smokers' room, even though there was a sign on the door. The smell was terrible and then when we pulled down the bed cover, we were shocked to see that the sheets were extremely wrinkled and dirty. The bed wasn't even made up right...looked like they just threw the cover on top of it. We got 2 towels to take a shower, but they were like paper and the shower was filthy. We all got bug bites and I'm nursing one bite that may have been a spider bite. They had a rat catcher on the side of the building like they weren't even trying to hide the fact that they had a problem. Forget eating there because the eating area was filthy. I think someone from Country Hearth Inns should pay them a surprise visit. They would make them clean up their act or get out of the business. These people are ruining their good name. My husband slept in the car. I wish I had.

  • Liked — It was close to Cracker Barrell
  • Disliked — Everything else..filthy

“Tired Traveler Beware!! Underhanded Credit Card Trickery!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2006

Checked in around 3 A.M. for a few hours sleep. Left about 5 hours later around 8 A.M. True, I should have checked my receipt but didn't. Later I happened to look at it and saw he had charged me for 3 nights. But the check in and out date reflected only one night. When I called him about it, he shouted and screamed like a lunatic before taking one night off but refused to take off the other night. His reason was that i didn't check out. I told him I was leaving in a few hours. No other hotel has ever done this. I called corporate and as of today they have done nothing. They say it's a franchise but I know even a franchise has to adhere to a corporation's standards. Stay here at your own risk with low expectations and pay in cash one night at a time.

Visited Country Hearth Inn back in February on our way to Florida and then again on our return home. Rooms were clean and comfortable; the hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was very good. Location is conveniently located within a very short walking distance to restaurants. I was just getting ready to reserve a room again when I read the negative review. We enjoyed our stay and are reserving a room for our trip again.
