I'm just going to break it down piece by piece... Arriving at the hotel: The hotel entrance is kinda weird. You can only enter from the side street. There is a huge empty parking lot on Broadway. I pulled into this parking lot because it looks like it goes right up to the front doors of the hotel. Wrong. You... More

I used the Country Inn & Suites for a board meeting in January. They had several meeting rooms that fit our need, and we wound up in the Crockett/Travis Room. It was a room that could be split in two, so there was a couple screens for our AV to choose from. We had 16 people for the meeting in... More

They sent the hotel van to lead me to the car rental return and then brought me back to the hotel. The hotel appeared to be new and everything was as it should be. More

Wasn't sure about the hotel by the airport and highway but it was great - the bed was SO comfortable - best night of sleep I have had in a long time. didn't hear the highway or the planes in the room. Close and convenient and friendly. Also great hot breakfast choices - better than others I've stayed at. Easy... More

This was a great hotel. I kept wondering during my stay what was off. And it was that it is not "country". This must be a concept property. It was very modern, with a lot of attributes you would find at a hotel like aloft. The breakfast was a bit chaotic, and service wasn't up to there usual standards during... More

Stayed for two nights with 2 other couples and we were all very satisfied. The location is convenient to both the airport and downtown. The breakfast was very good and the dining area was spacious. The property was kept clean, the staff was attentive and polite, and the price was right. The suites are a nice touch if you need... More

Needed a place to stay close to the airport. Read reviews and made a reservation. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and more then met our expectation. We had to be at the airport by 4:00 AM and arranged a shuttle with the front desk upon checkin. The shuttle driver was ready and very friendly.... More

This Country Inn & Suites used to be a "step up" as a Cambria Suites. It's a bit offputting from the outside - very plain and modern and looks like it might be an office building but once inside it's quite lovely. The furnishings in the lobby as well as the suites is very modern and sleek. The suites are... More

My stay here was comfortable enough, but it seemed that the hotel was undergoing a change of ownership and staff turnover issues. The suite was big and appealing, but it wasn't cleaned again until the third day. The breakfast was poorly stocked. I was glad that they offered free early-morning shuttle service to the airport. The people at the front... More

Arrived late on a Friday night, left early next morning. A little tricky coming off the major road in front of the hotel and finding the street to turn down. We ended up turning into a parking lot of sorts and up to the front of the hotel, but couldn't get to the front door unless we jumped the curb.... More
