“Not bad!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We booked two rooms for one night for a winter break with our adult kids and grand kids. Other than a strong perfume smell in the foyer, it was fine. We feared the perfume smell was an attempt to cover up another smell, but once we got into the lobby the air was clean. The staff was friendly. Cookies were baked and ready for us. We brought our dog along and were given a room near the back door which was convenient for walking the dog. It was only an additional $10 to keep her in our room, way cheaper than boarding. The pool area was nice. We nearly had the place to ourselves! Breakfast was the usual for these places: waffles, French toast, sausage, fresh fruit, yogurt, coffee, juice, milk, rolls, muffins etc. Everyone was pleased with the selections.

“Thieves work there”

I had two rings (one diamonds) stolen from my room, the cleaning people stole them. I told the people at the hotel, and nothing was done about it. Called several times, emailed them -- but no one gets back to you about it. NOT ONE PHONE CALL returned or email. DO NOT STAY THERE!

ALSO, when we turned on the heat, a burning smell came out of the vents, and made the smoke alarm go off. It was horrible. I will NEVER stay there again, and will tell EVERYONE I know about it and not to stay there either.

“Exceeded our expectations!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010

people found this review helpful

I want to start out by saying that our family has traveled extensively all over the world and we always stay at JW Marriotts, Marriotts, Renaissance Hotels, or other high end hotels if Marriotts are not available. We are platinum in their rewards club, so we are treated very well, and are automatically upgraded to the best room available. Needless to say, we are spoiled when it comes to vacationing(self proclaimed hotel snobs!). So, we were a bit hesitant when trying the find a place to stay in Clinton for our high school reunion. Our dinner was to be held at the Frontier, and I tried to book a suite there, but there was nothing available, so I called Country Inn and Suites, as it shares a parking lot with the Frontier. We booked a 1 bedroom suite, and went in with very low expectations. Well, we were pleasantly surprised!!! The entire staff was absolutely fantastic! They gave the kids fresh cookies and apples to take up to our room. In the morning at the breakfast, our baby made quite a mess, and the young lady in charge came over with a smile, and said not to worry about it and she quickly cleaned it up without making us feel guilty or like a burden. Reception was able to book a room next door to ours for our parents to stay in, with no problems. The pool, while small, was a great temperature and got a bug thumbs up from our children and adult family members too. And the room, while small, was perfect with a living room with pull out sofa, little bar area with sink and small refrigerator, a clean bathroom, french doors to the bedroom that had a curtain for privacy, and the bedroom's king bed was fine...not luxury, but perfectly adequate. The best part, which my husband and I were both extremely impressed with was the maid service...it was the absolute BEST we have ever encountered! Swimsuits were hung, a few stray socks were joined, clothes folded, and everything was cleaned and pickup up beautifully! Very impressive! We highly recommend this to anyone going to Clinton for a stay. I can't imagine being more pleased anywhere else in Clinton!

The area was quiet and just outside of Clinton - we were there to watch the Clinton Lumberkings play. Fun evening even though they got blown out. Anyway there were several restaurants andstores nearbye. The hotel was clean. Our rooms were quiet. A good breakfast was available.

“Nice Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2008

person found this review helpful

After leaving a bug infested Super 8 down the road we drove up to the Country Inn with hopes they had a room available for us since it was getting late in the day. The charming young lady behind the desk was able to find us a room and at that point we were about the happiest couple on earth. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the the most it was quite, not much more one can ask for when traveling. As I grow older what I have learned after many set backs is you get what you pay for, I will never again waste my time looking for a cheap room because what you get is not worth losing a good nights sleep. The Country Inn was about 40 bucks more for the night but getting out of that flea trap Super 8 was the best investment we could have made.
