“OK but has design problems”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Overall a good experience, but some quirks that would keep me from coming back. On the plus side, the room was clean, if a bit dated. Breakfast was very good, with several hot choices, more than at the competition. On the quirky side, first it was hard to find (my GPS had me going in circles to find the entrance, which is not clearly marked from the road); second, as others have commented, there is no cover over the entryway. Getting our luggage in was a hassle, as our rollers hung up on the seams in the sidewalk, and I had to hold the door open with one arm while trying to get my luggage thru. The "living room" of the suite did not have its own AC/heat control, and was too warm. In the bedroom, the curtains blocked the blower for the AC, sending the cool air behind the curtain and out thru the window glass, not into the room. So to get the benefit of the AC, you have to keep the curtains open, giving anyone in the parking lot a show. Worst, the blower in the return vent for the AC absolutely ROARED constantly, making it almost impossible to hear the TV and difficult to sleep.

“What a pleasant surprise”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2011

people found this review helpful

Nice, cute Inn with a creative country charm. Nice spacious rooms and free WiFi. Good view of a farm field from room 335. Pool is NOT heated in the summer, so beware! Friendly hotel guy, and very helpful. All looks well and cozy, until it was bed time. My grandmother pulled out the couch bed, and the sheets were dirty- with pubic hair and blood on them. She went to complain to the front desk, and she came up with a rollaway bed. The sheets on that bed had bus on them. She complained once again and finally got clean sheets. But, despite that, very, very good Breakfast in the morning, but the eggs were kinda runny.

Room Tip: Suites are large

“Super Clean and Comfortable!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2011 via mobile

My number one priority when selecting a hotel is that it be ultra clean. This one was. Attractive rooms, pleasant staff, and immaculately clean.

“Will stay again!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2010

Stayed for an extended weekend, with people of all ages from 6 to 80, front desk people were very friendly and helpful! Rooms where clean and kept that way. Breakfast was above average, and pool was warm enough for the kids(not for me but I like it warm). Only bad thing was a somewhat grumpy breakfast attendant on Sunday.

“Friendly staff, but facility needs to be updated.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2010

The good: location and service. There are a lot of restaurants in the area, easy to drive to. All staff members were extremely friendly and helpful.

The bad: rooms and bedding. I think some of the rooms have had some updates, others not so much. Some of the rooms have refrigerators and microwaves, others do not. My heater did not seem to work one week, and I was very cold at night. It seemed to be blowing constant air, sometimes warm but mostly cold so this was a HUGE negative. The bedding also really needs to be updated. The mattress itself seems pretty old.

All in all, I recommend because compared to the other local hotels this one isn't too bad. The friendly staff definitely makes it a better situation. There is though a holiday inn express being constructed nearby, so I would expect the Country Inn will need to update if they want to stay competitive.
