I am used to staying at a high end property, but there was an event going on so where I usually stay was not available. At first I was negative, but the people there was kind, helpful and nice. It totally changed my opinion. The rooms was not large but functional. It had everything I needed. It was clean. It is not a high end property but really was an enjoyable stay.

Bed was uncomfortable and would make noises when you moved around. Throughout the night doors were slamming so loud it would wake anyone.

Thank you for your review. We will look into the mattress in the room you occupied and try to remedy this. We apologize for any doors slamming as it was a sold out night so many people in the hotel. We do our best to maintain a tranquil environment for all guests

I was there 4 nights. The first night I was put in a creapy basement room with an uncomfortable bed and a TV remote that didn't work even with new batteries. The other 3 nights I had a room on the 3rd floor. The room was nice but the mattress a little too hard for my back and the blow drier didn't work and wasn't replaced. The worst thing for me was no elevator and I had to lug my luggage up and down the steps. The lady behind the counter on the day shift was very nice and helpful, but the first night the man behind the counter was unfriendly and unmotivated.

Response from CountrysideCares on Apr 2, 2024
Thank you for your review. I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. Unfortunately, we do not have an elevator. The blow dryer not working is safety related as if it touches water the breaker on the device will trip. We had informed our maintenance team to show you and apologize this slipped through the cracks. We do hope you give us another opportunity.

Overall Unpleasant
The room was updated, but the bed was uncomfortable. There was a wad of hair on the ground in the bathroom when we arrived. The fitness center is a joke, as the treadmill is out of order, the cable machine is barely usable, and there are a total of five dumbbells, not five sets. The breakfast was ok, but we were abruptly ushered out right at 9:00, while we were eating, so we brought our food to the room to finish. Just overall, unpleasant.

Thank you for your review. As you can see by our other reviews this is not the norm at our hotel. We will speak to the appropriate departments and make sure we grow from this set back. The fitness center there were certain guests that removed the dumbbells from the room and we addressed this as well.
