Could have been quite nice

The room was spotlessly clean and spacious, the bed quite comfortable, and the room had a refrigerator and microwave. The hot breakfast buffet offered a variety of tasty and nutritious foods, and was extraordinarily good. Unfortunately, the heat in the room didn't work, the toilet was clogged up, and periodically the plumbing in the tub would gurgle vigorously. The TV worked but had image distortion. I would like to think that the mechanical issues were a fluke, but had an even worse no-heat experience in a sister Country Inn & Suites hotel across town just a month earlier.

business concerns and pleasure

This place was ideally located for the activities we had planned. Staying there for three days made it feel like home away from home considering the pleasant staff, the comfortable room, and the quietness. A good choice.

nearly perfect

It was a very nice stay. There was a slight mildew smell in our room. I suppose that is to be expected in a room with a whirlpool. The floors were a little sticky in the breakfast room. But, we got there late in the morning. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. No complaints there

Entertainment tip: Long walk from hotel

If you get a chance to see a production of Shakespeare in the Park, you are in for a treat. We saw "As You Like It". It was a great show!

Good for a one-night stop

We just stayed one night but it was great! We weren't sure if the breakfast was complimentary so we ate at the IHOP right next door when we left.

It worked for what I needed.

My flight was late and I was only there for 6 or 7 hours. Breakfast and coffee in the morning was outstanding.

Repeat customer

We stayed at Country Inn and Suites last year and knew it was a good place to go to when we returned this year. However, we asked for a non-smoking room and our room defiantly smelled like someone had been smoking in it. Other than that, we had no problems. The breakfast buffet was nice and our room was clean.
