Comfortable business trip

The staff was friendly and very helpful and I will stay here again. The location was perfect for my business trip and I enjoyed being in a quieter area instead of fighting traffic.

Terrible

No elevator and no attempt to help even though our situation obviously indicated we needed help . Breakfast was about the worst we have ever encountered. The air conditioner did not work. It took three times to finally get our keys to work properly. This motel is shabby. We travel a lot and this was the worst motel we have experienced. Country Inn should be ashamed.

Not the Best for the $$$

Spent a Sunday night. People tried hard, but no soap available (luckily, we carry our own) and sheets and pad not tucked in. Head of bed (mattress) lower than middle of bed...had to raise it up with things under the pillows. Breakfast nothing special. Not easy to get to.

Comfortable Stay

Everything was wonderful. The only thing was I had looked up the breakfast online and wasy expecting waffles, bacon and eggs and biscuits and gravy and none of that existed. It was all cereal, fruit, breads and yogurt. Not very good for a diabetic. I was really disapointed in that otherwise it was very comfy and I would stay there again. oh and the cookies were a plus.
