It took several tries for the door to unlock.
Once it did, it had to be forced open. So don't stay in 216. The water pressure in toilet was nearly non existent. To flush, the handle must be held down. There was a roach on the counter of the sink.The continental breakfast offered no fruit or water.

Efficent and attentive.
The 3 day stay was nice. There was one issue with the heater not working and once i notified the front desk they privided me with the vacant room next door and there were no other issues after that. Check out went smooth and i was given my deposit back immediately.

Staff were nice. Hot water was difficult to obtain and the fridge door kept opening. The toilet seat and shower curtains need to be changed. The area is quiet and everyone I met was sociable.

Roaches in the back
My first few stays had been very good and i would have definitely recommended to others. But after this last stay, they put me and my pregnant girlfriend in a rundown room, infested with roaches. Then to top it off the morning of checkout my girlfriend had been getting sick all morning due to morning sickness and when i asked for a late checkout they wanted to charge me almost half the rooms rate for an extra hour.

Quiet room and peaceful night sleep
They were very accommodating in the room that was given as I had enormous luggage I had to bring. My room was very clean , the bedding was very clean and the bed itself was very comfortable. I felt safe here and the property is entirely secured by cameras. It’s an older nostalgic property undergoing a renovation. You can see how much time and hard work has already been put into it. The staff were so very kind and accommodating. The price was right for my needs. It takes time to make things happen so if you can appreciate the great qualities of the staff who work so hard to fulfill their duties then I would hope you would give this hotel some consideration .

I recently stayed at the Country Garden Inn, and while the rooms are a bit outdated, my experience was made so much better by the incredibly kind and genuine staff. The lady with glasses at the front desk i cant belive i forgot her name im sorry but was the sweetest she really listened to my accommodations and made sure I was comfortable. Anytime I needed towels, the staff was quick to bring them, which I really appreciated.
The room itself was fine nothing fancy, but it was clean and good enough for a short stay. The only downside is that the surrounding area seemed a little unsafe from what I observed, though nothing major happened during my time there.
Overall, if you're looking for a place with warm hospitality and great service, this is a solid option.

Worse experience ever
My flight was delayed and anticipating possible cancellations if I would get there too late, I called them in advance before boarding and beg them to not cancel my reservation. That I was going to make very late at night but that I still needed the room. The person who took my call told me that he was going to add a note. That there was no need to worry. While I was flying they called at 11 pm and because I didn't pickup the call, they cancelled my reservation. The lady who talked to me was extremely rude and even yelled at me saying that it was 3 am. And I said that I called before. She didn't care. I had to sleep in my rental car. Do not trust their staff.
