Upon entering, you are greeted with an intense smell from former pets that have resided there, which it is a pet friendly establishment, so no big deal. One of the windows did open, but I would not advise it because there's a thousand ants waiting to get in. The 1st floor Curtains do not close, so you have to use one of the clothes hangers out of the closet to clamp them closed at night. The staff is very nice. The bed it's o k, but if you're only staying a night it is manageable. Cracker barrel is right next door.Walkability: Walk to cracker barrel , dunkin or gas station

The fact that this hotel has such a low rating is living proof that the average traveler has expectations of a Ritz Carlton from a normal hotel.There’s plenty of parking, it’s conveniently located close to I95, the room was clean, the front desk staff was accommodating and the breakfast was the usual Choice standard (nothing fancy, remember this is not a Ritz). You could see that there is some wear and tear on the room furniture & linens but that might be due to the high number of guests they hosted throughout the years. Long story short, for what you’re paying it’s a great place to crash for 1 night. I’m glad I didn’t listen to some of the reviews because some people have no idea what a bad hotel is really like.

We were very weary from driving from Florida headed to New York. Check in was easy. We had hoped to take a dip in the pool before heading to bed. The pool had a layer of murky bubbles on the surface and the very small room the pool was in smelled like mildew and was very steamy. All the windows were covered with steam. So we went up to our room. On opening the door a strong smell of some kind of chemical hit us immediately. The rooms were dark and dingy. The carpeted floors were worn and sticky. It was very unclean. The bathroom had no vent so we had to wait between showers to go in because the room would steam up and the smell of mildew made it unbearable. There were only 3 towels in the bathroom and the beds had 3 pillows per bed. That caused a major problem. No one wanted to go ask for more towels and pillows, but we shouldn't have to!Rooms: DIRTY also I couldn't post my review unless I check one of their review boxes none apply. Not even great value which I had to check.

The staff was great. Atmosphere as expected. Rooms ok. The thing is, the building is falling apart clearly. Unlevel floors in spots. Building idk I'm not an engineer but seemed a tad scary.It's hard to find the driveway.Great price, tho. Around $110. Looks like a Hampton, but it's clearly not when you look close to imperfections.

Several times while we are taking a break from our trip to Myrtle Beach, we have stayed here. The rooms are clean and the staff is always courteous. It's also difficult to top the free breakfast they offer and the kind attitude of the kitchen crew. We will most certainly come back later.Rooms: Great roomsFood & drinks: Crackle barrel walking distance

The receptionist was friendly and helpful, and that is where the niceties end. This hotel is unsanitary! Do not stay here! There was mildew on the bottom of our shower curtain and a ring around the toilet bowl. Beds were lumpy, and there was hair on one of the pillows. The carpet was stained. The curtains were ripped and hanging away from the window, and so much more. Do yourself a favor. PLEASE 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 DO. NOT. stay here.

Check in/out was perfect. Room was musty smelling, shower dripped all night, tv didn’t work at first, floor is nasty. Gym equipment didn’t work or parts were missing/broken, breakfast was less than good scrambled eggs were watery, the protein was cold , potatoes were mushy ,, hard boiled eggs were extremely hard. Coffee and oranges were on point “ community bathroom” in hall seemed it wasn’t cleaned for a few days.

After a long drive, we were looking forward to a nice stay on the first leg of our journey. What we found was nothing less than disgusting. It was very late and apparently the last room otherwise we would have walked out. There was urine on the toilet, dust everywhere, the fridge didn't work, no kleenex. We ended up sleeping in our clothes on top of the covers. Our first corresondence with the hotel & head office asking for a full refund was 3 weeks ago and have had no satisfaction.

Edit: Just say NO to this place. The other half of our parties rooms linens were not changed. Stained and nasty. Rooms are in disrepair. Do yourself a favor and continue down the highway.Clean but the brand has changed. We stayed in 2 Country Inns this trip to and from Florida. Both were in disrepair. It certainly does not live up to the Radisson name. Never again will we stay at a Country Inn and Suites

I was really afraid of making a reservation after I read about several bad reviews.But, this is on the way back to home so that I tried one night for a stop. It was fair to me to spend one night! Excellent location with indoor pool( unheated). Walmart was just crossed the road.

We checked in and the young lady at the desk was very nice. Then we went to our room. The bed liner was bunched up under the sheet and the sheets looked like someone had slept on them. The floor was sticky and carpet nasty. There was a booger stuck to the wall next to the bed. Around the tub was mold and caulking that looked like a 1st graders finger paint art. We were moved to another room. The new room was a little better, only thing it was still nasty. The sheets did NOT look slept in. Overall very nasty. Need to replace sheets if they are stained and towels when torn. Also REALLY need to do a better job cleaning these rooms. Very sad.

Checked in late at night, and was helped immediately by the friendly staff. The price was right, location was fine, and availability was there. That's all the positives...Walking down the second floor was a harrowing experience in itself. The floors may be rotting away, there are multiple large soft spots so it feels like walking on carpet covering wood then a random step in mud. The smell is standard "mopped carpet in an abandoned cellar." Every surface is soiled- the walls, floors, ceiling. The room was equally unclean, especially the bed. The sheets were stained and had a strong body odor emanating from it. There was also hair and stains on the pillows. Both windows were open and the drapes stunk, probably mildew, and had water stains all over them. Another reviewer mentioned the lingering odor of an older woman who smokes and wears perfume; a spot on description.I checked out immediately and went to a place with honest reviews.

At the beginning I was a bit worried about the Negative reviews, but I found the hotel nice, quiet, comfortable, specious and clean room, the morning staff were very friendly and welcoming.On the downside the night person was not so nice, but did her job properly, the indoor pool was freezing cold ( but it was a 15 degree night)and I found old yogurt in my refrigerator.Overall, good experience.

After an 8 hour car ride, the comfy bed at Country Inn was so pleasant. The room was comfortable and very convenient to the highway. It was a great stopping point on a trip to FL.Rooms: Perfectly fine king bed room!

Let me start off by saying this review is more for the owners of the establishment - not the staff.The staff was wonderful and so kind - especially the lady who ran the breakfast bar!The entire place just feels like a hospital/prison since it’s walls are the same colors as the floors. My room had no fire detector in the master bedroom. The pillows are the size of throw pillows on a couch. I actually stayed at another Country Inn in Virginia and it was wonderful, so I was really disappointed with this stay overall. The staff was the only part of the experience that was enjoyable.

If I could give it less than one star, I definitely would. Let’s start with the pool being closed, which we could have lived with, even though it was a big reason we booked here. Secondly, it’s just dirty and dilapidated. The hallways are poorly lit by flickering lights, carpet is disgusting (at best), and there are soft spots all throughout. Scary. Moving along, the front desk will not answer the phone. Breakfast is apparently only Monday and Friday. We booked an extra room for our family to stay in (2 adults and 3 kids), which we confirmed was a 2 queen room, and we’re given a king room. When I approached the agent at the desk I was told “that’s all we have” and not offered any alternative or resolution at all. There was mold and mildew all in the showers, the air conditioner was barely hanging on, and there are only ice machines on the first and third floors. NOTHING about this hotel deserves more than one star. We actually left after one night because we didn’t want to endure another. Will never return to this place and wouldn’t suggest that anyone else stay there either!

The advertising for this hotel combined with the expensive price point made me think this would a luxurious night stay as I traveled through the area but it was far from it.Upon arrival I was greeted by a checkin line literally out the door. They were so backed up checking in, I waited over 30 minutes to get my keys. On a positive note, the young girl who checked me in was very nice and helpful. She was the only helpful staff member.The room itself was dirty, poorly furnished, and many of the lights did not work. The bathroom contained signs of water damage, and there was trash left in the fridge from a previous guest that the cleaning crew had missed. The sheets on the bed were stained and did not look very clean.The hotel floor in the hallways was uneven and even had a hole in one spot. During my stay I found that internet was broken and the guest laundry machines were broken. When I spoke to the staff I was told “it was just the way it is” and there was nothing they could do. Some of the staff was also very rude and hard to communicate with.

Where do I start...Initial room had 0 seating. Moved to a suite for same price. Room had definitely not been vacuumed. No wash cloths, no caffeine coffee. No condiments. I asked for housekeeping to bring a vacuum 😐. They didn't vacuum but left me a vacuum that had no electric cord.Although I left my dog in a kennel in the room (I know I wasn't supposed to) the staff was at the door making him bark. When approached by the staff, I was not pleased with the attitude of the desk clerk.Now...I left the hotel with my receipt showing I paid for my room. Next day I get confirmation emails and notices. What? WHY? I was charged with our sisters room since I booked the 2 rooms at the same time. They used their credit card at check in. NOW...I have been trying for days by messages with the desk and email with no response 😒 Would I ever stay here again or recommend to anyone? ABSOLUTELY NOT 💯

We booked for one night through Priceline, on a non refundable deal, whereby you do not find out the hotel name until you have booked. After finding out the hotel details, we were horrified to read the high number of really negative reviews on google, which were quite shocking. We tried hard to cancel our booking through Priceline, but we’re unable to do so, although they did give us a 15% discount voucher for our next booking.We arrived at the hotel with much trepidation and fearing the worst.However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the whole hotel was spotless, the room very clean, beds comfortable with nice bedding. Some finishings in the bathroom were a little tatty, but that is often the case at other far more expensive hotels.Pool open unlike stated by many other reviews, breakfast was completely fine and typical of free breakfast deals. Staff were generally very friendly and helpful.Overall a very positive experience. Very hard to understand the negative reviews on this site, either something has changed at the hotel recently, or the other reviews, are deliberately negative for an ulterior motive.

This place was terrible. It was dirty!!!! Hair on the floor, in the shower, and in the bed. There were blood stains on the blankets, dirty rugs, and lobby bathroom was unclean with no soap. The gym had one out of 4 working machines, internet did not work, and tv was spotty. No one asked us how our stay was when checking out. You can get a cheaper place with the same issues. I paid more thinking it would be cleaner. The only good thing was the woman working the breakfast room she was pleasant and kept things clean. I do not recommend staying here. Also we paid $141.00
