Upon checking in tried to use hallway restroom, handle was not engaged and prior guest had left it unusable, obviously been that way for days. Notified front desk, he gave me my room key so I could use the room before checking in. Very nice! After checking in and getting all my belongings in and settled for the night, started noticing heater smelled like smoke, air registers were covered in THICK LAYER of dust. Breakfast: Eggs and Sausage Gravy were in warmer, it was on, but it wasn't working. They were both COLD at 8:30 am. I told the guy, he checked them and walked away. Luckily there were other options, like waffels that worked for us guests. Nobody wanted food poisioning as breakfast opened at 6 am. Air vents above breakfast buffet were worse than ones in room. Bed was comfortable, furniture was nice. Just needs a really good DEEP CLEANING as well as VENTS & CARPETS.

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.

The fresh food items at the breakst bar were unedible. The fresh fruit was rotting with visible fruit flies. The waffle mix was chunky. The gravy for biscuits was burnt. We ate packaged cheese and granola bars our first morning; went elsewhere for breakfast the second morning. If a hot breakfast is adverand included in the room price, guests should expect quantity and quality.

We were very disappointed with the condition of our room. The shower curtain had mold on it, and the shower itself had not been cleaned properly, we even found hair from a previous guest. By the time we noticed, we were in a hurry, but it was honestly unacceptable and quite unpleasant.
