I could have given Country Inn & Suites 5 stars, but for one thing -- value; Country Inn & Suites…read moreit is over priced for this type of hotel.
We were driving to see friends in DC, before continuing on to Philly, and we got a late start, UGH, and I hit that wall that has graffiti all over it that says, "I want to stop now, I want a drink, I want food, I want a bed, I do not care that we are only and hour and a half from our friend's house, I WANT TO STOP NOW." It is a wall that we as a married couple must respect in order to preserve our perfect union.
So, as a highway unscheduled overnight stay, this place seemed perfect. It has a great little Mexican place next door that I will review next, and several other food choices, and it is set back off the highway a bit with an earthen embankment that deadened the highway sound, and best of all it was super clean! It is a very nice, highway side hotel. But, these hotels usually run, price wise, between about $90 and $120 bucks, before all the little regressive fees that fill state coffers disproportionately from those who can least afford it, but that is a political topic, and not the hospitality industries doing. This Country Inn & Suites was $220 before all those little fees. I think it came to just under $260 after all the fees, but I am not sure. I just remember it was too much for an, arrive late, leave early, country, rural, interstate highway, non-destination, hotel. It was too much, but not so much that you got back in the car and went to another hotel.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
Country Inn & Suites should get 5 stars, but for value. It is super clean, the staff was nice, the room was nice, the work out room was okay and again clean, it has a tiny indoor lap pool, always cool even though I do not use hotel pools, it is a nice touch, and it would totally get 5 stars from me if it were located in the downtown of a big city, but it is over priced for this type of hotel.
