When I walked into the room one of the beds was covered in black stains and I noticed the hand soap was empty. I contacted the desk where I was told housekeeping was gone for the day. They told me they could get me fresh bedding but I would have to change it myself. After fully inspecting the room I noticed the floor was dirty like it had not been vacuumed. There were food crumbs, candy, beer tops and dirty socks under the beds. The floors in the bathroom were dirty as well. The next morning I asked that housekeeping clean the entire room. When I returned it had been somewhat cleaned. They picked up the items from under the bed but still did not vacuum the floors. The black stains on the bed were coming from the air unit on the wall, when the air would turn on it shot out black dirt onto the bed. They also never refilled the hand soap or lotion when cleaning the room so I had to go and purchase some myself. My first stay with them was lovely which is why I booked with them again. After having all of the problems I had with this stay I will not be a returning guest. I also have pictures of the room and how it was when I checked in.

I have several issues with the hotel. First, there was zero customer service. Nobody was ever at the front desk. Every time I walked by the staff was absent from the lobby and front desk. Second, the room was ugly and not been cleaned properly. I found a bottle cap on the floor and someone's makeup in the bathroom. Third, the room was ugly and clearly filled with a mismatch of cheap furniture. Both the dresser and desk had drawers that wouldn't stay closed. There were so many colors and styles of furniture, it was very unpleasing to the eye.

There were signs all over the hotel please excuse our mess we are remodeling. Which was fine but I didn’t expect that in my room. Looked like the bed was new so that’s a plus but there was dried paint on the bathroom and the room just looked old and dated. The worst part was I pulled out the desk chair to put on shoes and it was dirty. Hopefully once all the renovation is complete it will be a better hotel.

I booked this trip through Expedia after looking at the photos. When I arrived they were in the middle of renovations and there was building materials strewn throughout the hallways and in the carpet. In one long suite, the king bed flipped up when two people sat on it and it smelled like mamajuana. One of the closets were removed and the plumbing to the sink wasn’t working. They also had no soap, shampoo, or conditioner in the shower. In the queen room there were holes in the duvet cover. When I brought my displeasure to the front desk clerk she pointed out the signs that said the hotel was under renovation and that she was “just the front desk clerk”. We were one of only two families in the building and had we known it was going to smell like fresh paint and be littered with building materials we would have never stayed there. Continental breakfast eggs annd sausage were cold. Absolute worst experience I’ve ever had at any hotel…period.

Terrible stay

I rented two rooms after my son’s birthday party so our guests from out of town would be comfortable. I checked in pretty late and after a long exhausting day, was greeted by a not so friendly or inviting front desk receptionist. As soon as I mentioned that I lived in the area her attitude turned sour. Anyways, I got into the first room the beds were poorly made, there were cheerios on the floor, and the bathroom was filthy. The second room had the sink stopper pulled out and the entire sink looked like it had mold. I didn’t even want to use the restroom. Like I said it was very late night and we were all exhausted so we went to sleep, I told the front desk about the complaints and she literally just only offered me my deposit back….. very disappointed.

Meth room

Upon checking into our room, the first thing we do at any hotel is check for bed bugs. While we didn't find any bugs, we did however find a METH PIPE WITH A BAG OF METH!!! Right under the mattress! Meaninf the room could NOT have been properly cleaned after the last stay. They did offer to switch us room but the next room was very broken and the walls and furniture had stains everywhere. We didnt not ask for yet another room because this was the only hot tub room left. The front desk person did not seek shocked in the least at our discovery. Would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.

I really like staying at this chain of hotels. They’re always clean and feel safe and inviting. This hotel was not any of this. We had a 1 bedroom suite that I’m pretty sure was not properly cleaned before our stay. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. The microwave had greasy fingerprints all over it. The mirrors looked like they had been dried off with a towel right after someone had showered. It just wasn’t at the level of other hotels in this chain. Disappointed.

We went down to breakfast in the last hour of serving. The breakfast room was a mess and food was unappetizing. The counters had food all over them. Many items weren’t available.

Nice staff! But?

The staff were very nice. The room was not as expected. One of the bulbs in the lamp was blown. The refrigerator had left over condiments and was not cooling enough. My son found about .12 cents in change under the sheets when he pulled them back to get in the bed. This to me spells housekeeping not putting clean linen on some of the beds. I found the towels dingy and one had a small red spot on it that looked like a blood stain. I just threw it on the floor. I should have brought my towels from home to use. The breakfast did not look good, so I didn't eat. The link sausage was undercooked, hashbrowns were overcooked. Breakfast definitely needs improvement. Also, the commode needed some cleaning using a brush.

Good: the location was convenient. The staff was friendly and for the most part, the facility was clean. Breakfast was okay. For the price of the room, this is about all we expected and it's about all we got.

Bad: The beds were very uncomfortable. The property itself is in a condition that makes me believe a teardown is in the near future and management is intent on milking what they can out of the current building without any major repais before that day comes. The elevator is tiny and noisy. We chose this property specifically for the pool, which is literally the smallest hotel pool I've ever seen. I've been in larger hot tubs. It did the job for my 6 and 4 year old, but was certainly underwhelming. With four adults and probably 8 kids in the pool, it was very crowded.

\"Forever Bored\"

The room itself was a bit beat up but adequate. The check in was really a disappointment. There was no-one at the desk for five minutes and when the young lady showed up she was clearly not very interested in her job. I finally understood her approach to life when I read her shirt. It read \"Forever Bored\". That summed up the whole experience. I will probably avoid Country Inns in the future.
