Country Inn and Out
Limited tv channels, we were going to connect to Netflix however there was no wifi accessibility for it. We went to the pool area to relax in the hot tub, there wasn't one.
The staff did accommodate the one extra pillow when I asked for PILLOWS,

Needs improvement
Came to stay to visit family for the 4th of july. Stayed in room 226, the bathtub didnt drain, no one cleaned our room the entire time we were there, had to ask for new towels and toilet paper, came back to the room only to find out it was still open because the door didnt latch correctly. Once you open from the inside, you have to remember to turn the handle again to get the latch unstuck so the door will then lock behind you.

Staff was nice and understand, but almost never available. Nobody was working the front desk. There was a phone at the front desk to call for help, but all it did was ring in the desk phone right next to me. Whoever was working the desk could have just as easily heard my voice or the ring.

Staff was very pleasant. Room was clean. Found a weird note on my car. Another guest? It was kind of creepy as I was only in town for a wake service and funeral and there was no security guard.
