Great room
I would recommend the Berea Country Inn & Suite. The rooms are very clean, the beds very comfortable, and the staff is pleasant. We always enjoy our stay here. My only criticism would be the breakfast which is sufficient but not outstanding. Also, I have mentioned this before, why are there no rocking chairs out in front? Every other Country Inn we have stayed at has rocking chairs.

Be sure to stop at the Kentucky Artisan Center and downtown Berea. Lovely shops and beautiful flowers. Also, stop at Tater Knob Pottery which is nearby. Very unique.

If I can't say something nice...
I came to visit my son, who attends Berea College. The place was overrun by horrid soccer team children whose parents cared not about their running amock - endangering older patrons ( 70 +) and consumming the continental breakfast like a swarm of locusts. The manager TRIED to address the problem (unruly children) to no avail. They ran up & down the halls awakening me and me son before 7AM on Sunday!! Plus, there were only 26 channels, which I found absurd for an establishment in this day and age.

We like this place
This motel is a great home base for touring Berea. The rooms are clean, roomy, and quiet. The staff is pleasant. Very comfortable lobby. My only critical points would be the breakfast is plentiful but average and there are no rocking chairs out in front that other Country Inns have. Missed that a lot.

Do not leave Berea without going to the Artisan Center, downtown, and Old Town. Walking downtown is like walking through a small botanic garden. We have been here 20 times and never get tired of it.

Okay Place.
It was ok.. Only problem was a non working TV remote that took me 4 hours to get to work. Both shift workers were unfa,miliar with the code reset. Other than that. Quiet place by itself. clean, rooms spacious and with chairs!! Pool hours could have some adult times. Was filled woth families. No chance for business guests to utilize. Nice fitness roo, tho did not use. Would stay there again.

Berea, KY
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice except that the shower curtain rod was coming lose from the wall and needed to be repaired. Since the shower curtain was titled down, we had some very humorous moments in trying to keep the curtain closed. The breakfast buffet was very handy since there were no restaurants nearby. The food was hot and fresh. I would stay here again.

Nice staff
Always can count on Country Inn to have the same clean, comfortable rooms, helpful staff, and free breakfast. The breakfast makes it an especially good value because it's a full hot and cold buffet. Saves money and time when traveling, would have to spend around $25 for family of four to eat out.
