Owner was very friendly when we checked in at 7:45 am. We didn't look around the rooms when we…read morequickly put a change of clothes in there and locked it up and went fishing. When we retuned around 9:00pm and started to look around it became very obvious that we were not going to be able to stay there. Stains on the carpet, missing outlet covers, several layers of peeling paint in the bathroom and mold. The mopboard in the bathroom was peeling away from the wall and the floor and shower were nothing short of nasty. This place needs a serious updating to bring it up to more modern standards for décor and health standards. After looking around the room I left to find another place to stay. When I spoke with the owner (same lady as in the am) and told her why we couldn't stay and that I wanted a refund she became angry and stated she would only refund half which was not acceptable to me at all since we hadn't used the rooms in any way. She said that we had been in the rooms for an hour and a half that evening which is completely incorrect since we left the lake access at 8:43pm and I am now standing in front of an angry woman at 9:20pm and this is AFTER driving to the Econolodge to see if they had a vacancy. There are two other motels in the area as well as the Econolodge which on the weekends are booked up during the ice fishing season on Big Stone Lake yet this one always seems to have the "vacancy" sign lit up...and I now know why that is. If in the area, stay at the Vali-Vue Motel or the Econolodge Motel.

Just passing through and had to decide between three hotels all right next to each other…read more I picked Country Inn because I had been driving all day and they had a room with a hot tub jacuzzi in the bedroom. They had a regular tub/shower in the bathroom. The whole hotel was very clean with friendly staff. The bed was very comfortable. Controlling the A/C from a thermostat was nice and it worked well. WiFi was good and breakfast ok. The star for me was the hot tub! I didn't want to get out! We were there for two days, so I made sure I got my money's worth. They had a regular hot tub and indoor pool that looked nice, but we didn't use it. I would highly recommend this place and spending a couple more ponies for the jacuzzi room.

I called a week before I came and checked in that I would be traveling with dogs and that I had a…read morewhirlpool suite. The person to answer said just tell them when you check-in the day you come here. So that's what I did and when I did, I was told that I couldn't have the room I booked cause of my dogs. I was so confused and told the Front Desk guy that I called and what I was told. So I got switched to a queen, handicap, whirlpool suite instead of a king whirlpool suite. I was ok with it. But when I got in the room, it was gross. The floors are nasty and everything is worn down and needs an update. The towels were gross, one had a whole and the other was so thin it was almost see through. And the whole reason I stayed at this place was for the whirlpool in the room and the plug didn't work. I had to get help and they tried to fix it but told me to wait till his boss is in tomorrow to fix it. I was not happy. So I spent another 20 minutes and got the drain to work. I would never stay there again. They have good scores for cleanliness on a lot of websites and that was why I felt good about booking there. But that is not what I experienced. The staff were nice and tried to help. I was supposed to stay nights. I checked out the next day.
