Country Living Inn

From a 10 last year...

Liked: The location was good!
Disliked: Where do I start! In a word, "disappointed."Last year, I believe we gave this location all 5 stars.Not this year. I am handicapped, so the first thing I noticed is the damaged step leading to the side front entrance, with a missing handrail. Along with that, a parking lot lamp post had a busted lamp. Upon attempting to check in, I was informed by the young lady checking us in that she was not allowed to take my debit card as payment, REALLY? A guaranteed debit card was unacceptable?Upon opening our room door, we were greeted with a pungent odor. We could see that the room had not been thoroughly cleaned, for sure it was not vacuumed. I found part of an insole on the floor clearly visible, and the carpeting felt dirty on my feet. There were multiple small pebbles throughout, of which I stepped on several that hurt my feet. The dresser had a drawer that was full of old area brochures as was the nightstand. The bathroom door did not close. The bathroom toilet seat did not fit correctly. There was debris on the floor and spiderwebs at the corner of the base of the bathroom door. I killed several ants in the room.The A/C was very noisy and annoying as well. Just NOT a good experience.You may ask, "Why did we not say something?"It was late when we got back to our room that night, and we were tired from a very long drive and long evening. We had an early start the following day and again was out most of the day. Again, I am too exhausted to want to get into it with a check-in clerk. I thought I would be able to express our disappointment upon checking out today, but I was greeted at the front desk with a small sign that read "will be back shortly." Poor customer service, to say the least. So, I left our one key (not 2 as requested), and we left.Again, last year's stay was terrific! This year's will give us pause about a return stay at this location.A response from the ownership would be a pleasant surprise.
