Roaches in the back

My first few stays had been very good and i would have definitely recommended to others. But after this last stay, they put me and my pregnant girlfriend in a rundown room, infested with roaches. Then to top it off the morning of checkout my girlfriend had been getting sick all morning due to morning sickness and when i asked for a late checkout they wanted to charge me almost half the rooms rate for an extra hour.

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I recently stayed at the Country Garden Inn, and while the rooms are a bit outdated, my experience was made so much better by the incredibly kind and genuine staff.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.

Efficent and attentive.

The 3 day stay was nice. There was one issue with the heater not working and once i notified the front desk they privided me with the vacant room next door and there were no other issues after that. Check out went smooth and i was given my deposit back immediately.
