This stay was possibly the worst hotel experience I have ever had! We booked the hotel on vacation because was very close to the Boonshoft Museum and, more importantly to our boys, it had an indoor pool. Our 4 and 5 year old LOVE to swim and we had talked about this being an opportunity to swim in the pool. We should have known things would not go well when we pulled up to the hotel and the front door was blocked with a "Wet Paint" sign but no arrows showing where to enter! After being checked by a less than friendly staff member (and wondering why with only six cars in the parking lot - another sign - we were on the third floor!), we made out way to our room. The room was clean at least. However, we ran out of kleenex and toilet paper, the only coffee was decaf and when my husband requested caffeinated, he was given a bag that when opened was only grounds with no filter! But there was worse to come - we all put our suits on to go down to the pool, only to find it completely unusable!!! We are met by one kind gentleman (staff I think or maybe former staff) who explains that new management has taken over and the old management had let some things go, like to pool. The pump has just been taken out to be fixed and the pool is closed! That sure would have been a nice thing to mention to us as we checked in!! (Note: My husband did complain to the front desk about this and ask for a refund. They agreed to charge us less for the room. That refund has still to show up on our credit card statement!) My five year old just put his head down on the bed when we returned to the room. And since there was no Disney or Nickelodeon channel in the cable package - there was absolutely nothing appropriate to watch on TV as a consolation. There was no "Do Not Disturb" sign for our door and when we asked for one, we were told they were all gone (really?) and then rudely informed our room would not be cleaned until after we checked out. While the breakfast was alright, we were beyond disappointed with our stay will be contacting Country Inn and Suites to inquire about our refund and share our concerns. And from reading the recent reviews here, I see we are not alone!!
