Gentlemen at checkin was unprofessional and unethical. I checked on the possibility of an early check in the day before and was told it was $30. Upon showing up and mentioning early check in the gentlemen told me it was $40 \"today\". When I proceeded to ask if I could just leave my luggage he found me a room.

There is a closet/cupboard that blocks part of the bathroom doorway-Maybe they could cut a section off the back of it to snug it up against the wall more.

Worse experience ever

My flight was delayed and anticipating possible cancellations if I would get there too late, I called them in advance before boarding and beg them to not cancel my reservation. That I was going to make very late at night but that I still needed the room. The person who took my call told me that he was going to add a note. That there was no need to worry. While I was flying they called at 11 pm and because I didn't pickup the call, they cancelled my reservation. The lady who talked to me was extremely rude and even yelled at me saying that it was 3 am. And I said that I called before. She didn't care. I had to sleep in my rental car. Do not trust their staff.

They were very accommodating in the room that was given as I had enormous luggage I had to bring. My room was very clean , the bedding was very clean and the bed itself was very comfortable. I felt safe here and the property is entirely secured by cameras. It’s an older nostalgic property undergoing a renovation. You can see how much time and hard work has already been put into it. The staff were so very kind and accommodating. The price was right for my needs. It takes time to make things happen so if you can appreciate the great qualities of the staff who work so hard to fulfill their duties then I would hope you would give this hotel some consideration .

ZERO stars if it was an option. There was a huge puddle in the middle of the room upon entry which I had to clean up after almost slipping. The TVs do not work… read that in other reviews and it is true. Last straw was the incredibly rude owner. I was told at check in that I could extend my stay as long as before 11AM. I was so tired and against my better judgement I booked another day at around 9:30AM. The horrific owner told me that I had to check out and come back at 3pm (even though I booked the exact same room). I questioned why and he said I could stay for $25. I said that’s outrageous and this is not the way to do business to which he boldly replied “I don’t care”. I continued to disagree and he said “now it’s $30”. So after the owner tried to extort me I decided to go elsewhere as this place is the worst place I have ever been.

I recently stayed at the Country Garden Inn, and while the rooms are a bit outdated, my experience was made so much better by the incredibly kind and genuine staff. The lady with glasses at the front desk i cant belive i forgot her name im sorry but was the sweetest she really listened to my accommodations and made sure I was comfortable. Anytime I needed towels, the staff was quick to bring them, which I really appreciated.

The room itself was fine nothing fancy, but it was clean and good enough for a short stay. The only downside is that the surrounding area seemed a little unsafe from what I observed, though nothing major happened during my time there.

Overall, if you're looking for a place with warm hospitality and great service, this is a solid option.

Staff Told me to go talk to the guest with me about a fee to pay before I check in, I come back inside to be told we cannot stay there? But I already booked and paid for the room in advance—and they still wanted the extra fee to be paid. I couldn’t get my money back and was not told in advance about this. I also was not aware that the guest with me had any lingering “fees or issues” with the place. I would like a refund since I had no idea that was going to happen and I’m short on cash. If I would have been aware about that situation I would not have tried to book a room there. I have stayed there since and didn’t have any issues last time.

I stayed here and it was the worst hotel experience of my life. When we got into to the room it smelled strange. Then I went to wash my hands and the faucet broke off. I called downstairs we changed to another room next-door. That room smelled funny. Then the lights didn’t work. So they moved us to a third room and that room smelled funny. There was some disgusting red stain on the sheets and comforter so we had to have them replaced. in the bathroom the door was broken and the toilet was rock rocking back-and-forth. The refrigerator was dirty and the chair at the desk was broken so when I went to sit on it I almost broke my neck. I asked for my money back which I still believe I deserved and they refused . When I got home got sick and I swear to you it is because of the state of that room that I was sick. So I never had a chance in the state that I was feeling to fight farther for my money so I am here now telling all of you not to stay at this hotel. The breakfast was terrible they had absolutely nothing the only light at the end of this dark tunnel was the sweet woman who worked the front desk and the nice man that worked the desk at night they were very kind and very helpful but you can only help so much when it’s that bad . I travel a lot and this hands down was the worst experience I had ever had. If they had done the right thing and given my money back I would have been nicer. I deserve a refund. So if you want a hotel who cares about your feelings or your experience

False advertising. Reeks of Cigarettes

It was terrible and false advertising. How do all the rooms at a non-smoking hotel smell like cigarettes? I don’t understand that. I tried multiple rooms and still had the fear of waking up and smelling like cigarettes the next day. The manager is very difficult to reach for if you have any problems. They said I can’t get a refund on anything despite how miserable I was. I wouldn’t recommend staying here to anyone. Oh, there was blood on the wall by the tv. I didn’t know what that was about.

This place needs a upgrade it's dated and you can tell were patch jobs were done, it's like they started to fix it up but ran out of money and left it as is. Price was ok at 430.00 for the F1 weekend and location is good as well as proximity to track. Check out day was a pain in the ass as I had staff knocking on the door at 10am even though check out was at 11. The staff made it seem like we were never going to leave, I even called front desk to advise we were leaving as scheduled but they still sent the maid and some Indian guy to bang on the door. Now thanx to the poor remodel at that place, I cut my finger on the security lock hardware on the door which was broken and sharp.

The walls had god knows what on them. Went down to the pool just to check it out and the side wall was green. So we couldn’t swim there. This place is for the locals that need a place to sleep, drug users and all are welcome. Not a family place, not a clean place and it is worth every penny to stay down the street for $30 bucks more.
