We love Country Inns and this one was no different. After many hours on the road, we appreciated the comfort and cleanliness of our room. I love the Country Inn pillows; just wish they would sell them to guests!!!! Our room was clean and in good working order. The breakfast was great, as usual. Keep up the good work.

Comfortable rooms with good wifi and a solid breakfast including make your own waffles. The pool and hot tub were nice and the exercise room small but acceptable. Close to the highway and to the mall...we stay here during family holidays and always enjoy it. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Note to those not familiar with this area, the hotel can be difficult to locate late at night as it is in the middle of a complex of other hotels and businesses. A... More
