Stayed here at the end of April 2012.
Good hotel,large room with a good bed.
The only negative is the thin walls.
Also the breakfast was simple,but free.
Got a good deal on priceline.

Three years old but look like in opened yesterday. Very close to Interstate 10 interchange but quiet.

I am a Club Carlson member and I have stayed at five Country Inn & Suites and so far this one was the worst of the lot. The best one was in Effingham, Illinois. Compared to other Country Inn & Suites, the check-in was very fast and the rooms were well-sized and in good condition. But, here is what ruined the stay for us.

BREAKFAST: Because I had stayed at several Country Inn & Suites, I know what to expect for breakfast. The breakfast experience was extremely bad. The orange juice smelled bad. The cranberry juice was water with a pink coloring. The breakfast attendant was running around complaining about things not working. The line for make-your-own waffles was extremely long. Here is what could be done to improve this experience:
(1) Have a better beverage dispenser with good (properly defrosted) orange juice and cranberry juice. I suspect the orange juice and cranberry juice was partially frozen in the dispenser and that the tap on the orange juice had not been cleaned properly in some time.
(2) Add a second waffle maker to reduce the waffle lines. Include no-stick spray for the waffle iron and a proper way to put waffle batter into the cups. We had a bowl with a SLOTTED DRAINING SPOON to try to put the batter into the cups. Talk about frustrating!
(3) BACON! There is no breakfast without it. Instead of bacon there was a rubber chicken-like patty.
I did not try to approach the breakfast attendant about this because she seemed one step away from a nervous breakdown. We should have left immediately and went somewhere else for breakfast.

ROOM:
I understand that this particular Country Inn & Suites is complying with a State of Florida standard for environmentally-friendly lodging and I am all for improving the environment. But, there is a line that you can cross in this area where providing "environmentally-friendly lodging" actually harms the occupants or lodgers. The main part of this "environmentally-friendly lodging" standard is to turn off the AC entirely when their is no occupant in a room. So, when a new occupant arrives to a room, the room is HOT and smells like someone's old dirty sneakers. Only after you run the AC for some time does the room become liveable. Then, there are other concerns. If the AC is off for long periods of time, you have created a very warm, dark, moist environment. This "environmentally-friendly lodging" standard also provides the perfect environment for viruses and bacteria to thrive. I do not care how much you clean the room, this is the case. Here is how you can improve this:
(1) It is much better to leave the AC on and set the thermostat to a higher temperature when the rooms have no occupants. In this case, even an occasional cycle of AC will reduce the humidity and temperature and cut down on the musty smell (less ability for bacteria to grow that produce that smell). It will also reduce viruses and other bacteria in the room.
(2) If you do not do want to do this, you could have the staff turn on the AC in ONLY the rooms you are expecting occupants at around 2PM each day or make some sort of attempt to cover up the "old sneaker" smell.

I love Country Inn and Suites as a general rule, but this one hits far below the mark.

Have stayed at Country Inn & Suites in a number of places, mostly throughout Florida. This was no different. A quiet King bedroon, non-smoking on the third floor; I was taking a seminar all week and although I was reasonably close to home, I choose to stay here to read, relax, and review notes. I rarely eat breakfast so I didn't even see their free breakfast offerings, but they usually are more than acceptable. The cookies were fantastic; oatmeal raisin, I think. The housekeeping was spotless. Only complaint was that the last time I came through the lobby, neither of the room clerks even acknowledged my "hello."
