No hot water in room for 3 night stay. Hot tub was out of service and appears to have been so for a while. Room was never serviced during entire stay. Most country inn and suites have been low quality lately and this one fit the bill all around. Would not recommend.

Tamara

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff and room were great. There were always snacks in the lobby in the afternoon, not sure if it was because of the cyclones/hawk game, but it was a plus. The only downfall was we didn’t have hot water in the shower, hot water in the sink but not the shower. So not sure if that would defer us staying again.
