We reserved a suite that was just a few dollars more than a regular room. The amount of extra space was well worth the few extra dollars. There was a very spacious counter top area with a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker. We will definitely keep this hotel in mind for future trips to this area.

Property was very run down. Chair had stains all over it desk chair was pealing. No body wash or conditioner for shower.
Breakfast was a hot mess.
Would not recommend. Should have paid the extra ten dollars and stayed at Hampton. Will never stay at another country inn.

Hotel is OK with breakfast, coffee. Hotel has a pool thus the room smells a bit breached. Carpet is dark and unappealing. But room is spacious. A bit old hotel but good for a night.

Staff is really helpful & accommodating.
A busy Sunday breakfast had plenty of food but staff had a hard time cleaning tables. Monday was calmer and much better, but always had plenty of food or if asked, staff would restock. We rebook this hotel repeatedly
