We were on a tight schedule in the morning. We count on breakfasts, and coffee. Breakfast room didn't open until 7:20. We waited in lobby for it to open. Coffee in lobby was cold. The eggs and bacon were barely warm. Was going to have oatmeal instead but need very hot water, asked for some, he filled pump pot with barely warm wster. No microwave in breakfast area to warm up.. We always look for hotels with breakfast as we are just quickly traveling through. Just take a few minutes to tidy up lobby area and halls goes a long ways. Same used bottle of water was still on lobby counter this morning as when we checked in at 7 the evening before. I threw that away while we were waiting. Explains maybe why all the other hotels in area had full parking lots this morning

Lobby was clean and inviting and the guy that checked us in was very helpful and kind but that's about it. We paid $160 plus taxes and fees. We went down at 9am for breakfast Sunday morning (which was done at 10am) and there was 4 pieces of sausage 3 scoops of eggs 1 piece of white bread and 4 mini bagels. You could make your own waffles as well. The breakfast room was a disaster! Sticky floors, counters, and tables from maple syrup. It appeared nothing had been cleaned since they opened for breakfast. No one was there to assist with any of the previously mentioned items. We were one of 6 people that came down at that time and I felt terrible for the people after us as there was really nothing to choose but juice and a waffle. The trash was full and overflowing. Our room was clean, but dated and office chair all the leather had peeled off and the lounge chair had white stains and holes. Our fridge and heater were very loud. It was a place to sleep as the weather wasn't great, but for what we paid I expected more than what we got.

Needs new maids

No one cleaned the room before our stay. There was no facial tissue, globs of soap on shower handle, someone left behind beer in the fridge and something nasty I didn't want to touch. The room needed to be vacuumed even though it was a worn out carpet. Bed linens were clean an that's the best I can say about it. Only one night so didn't bother asking for another room. Would've taken too much time.

They put us in a room that didn't have a jetted tub when that is what I booked. Then they did put us in the correct room but the floor was not vacuumed and you could see the dirt. Then the tub was not cleaned well and I bought bleach to clean it out before I would let my son use it. Then the TV would not work. Had sound but no picture and the front desk said they couldn't help me.

Staff is really helpful & accommodating. A busy Sunday breakfast had plenty of food but staff had a hard time cleaning tables. Monday was calmer and much better, but always had plenty of food or if asked, staff would restock. We rebook this hotel repeatedly

Frustrated

The hotel itself was fine – I've definitely stayed at worse places. What frustrated me the most, though, was that my family and I had been up since 4 AM and were on the road all day. We arrived at the hotel at 3:15 PM for our 3:00 PM check-in, only to be told that our room wasn’t ready and it would be another 5 to 10 minutes. After waiting 20 minutes, I checked again and was told it would be another 10 minutes. After a 45-minute wait with two extremely tired children, we finally got into our room.

Be prepared

Room/bathroom needed a paint job. Not sure the last time the floor was vacuumed. The free breakfast was a joke. No toast/beagles anywhere and was not open at the correct time. Coffee in the front entrance was cold

Pool and hot tub and not working. We were told at check-in, super disappointed. We’re moving across country and we all needed a hot tub. Breakfast was good. Room was good and clean. Worth the money, but we were really ticked off because there were other hotels we could have booked at if they would have updated their listing saying there wasn’t a pool or hot tub. Unfortunately, we will now need to call each property to check before we book.

Old and tired interior and rooms.

The first room had a toilet that did not work. I doubt I was the first one to report this however this was the room I was given. I did move to a new room. The hotel looks worn and sad and I was disappointed as I have stayed at other Country Inn hotels and they were fine. This is a franchise hotel and it showed as one, old carpet and the walls could use new paint. The office chair was very worn and the fake leather was worn away. I doubt a thrift store would accept the office chairs.

This property was very quiet and was clean as well. Only issue was the complimentary breakfast only seemed to have one person working it and so things were not restocked very quickly so had to wait on food items.

Hotel room was your average hotel room. Desk chair leather was peeling off and looked atrocious. Fridge wasn’t very cold and cabinets to fridge and microwave wouldn’t stay closed which caused a problem with our 2 year old closing and getting hit in the face. Hair dryer was broken and could t be used. Breakfast was disappointing. We arrived at breakfast 45min after opening and there were 5 plates available. No juice or water because the machine was broken so only option to drink was coffee or tea. Asked receptionist and was told it was just broken and not given any other alternative. The waffle mixture was almost empty so had to stand there forever trying to get the cup full and once made did not taste good. Sugar free syrup was empty. 3 options for cereal and one of them was mixed with 2 different kinds. Lots of other options for hotels in the area so will not be staying here again. Now have to go find breakfast elsewhere at an extra expense. Would not recommend for families.
