The first time I stayed at the Country Inn was in 2003; My brother had just graduated boot camp and we needed a place to stay near Parris Island. Even though the area wasn't that great, we loved the Country Inn. From the moment we walked in, we felt very welcome.
When we needed a place to stay in, or near, San Diego, California, and we discovered there was a Country Inn in the area, we jumped at the chance to book it.
Check In was fine, one of our rooms wasn't ready(We had booked two rooms) but it wasn't a big deal. There is a Chili's right across the parking lot so we ate there while we waited. The woman at the front desk that aided us in check-in was very nice and polite. I think her name was Joyce.
Our room (617) was nice. We had a king size bed(which was verrryyy comfortable!) with a desk, tv, chair, and a decent size bathroom with ample amenities. We had a view of the office buildings across the street and a side view of the pool which wasn't so bad. There was no funky odor in the room, nor did I find any un-cleanliness.
Even though the pool could've been a bit warmer, it was pretty large and was clean. The jacuzzi was good too!
I didn't use the exercise room, but it looked fine.
Breakfast: Awesome! I'm a big breakfast person, and when it comes to breakfast, I'm very picky. I loved the fact that they put out Dannon Lite & Fit yogurt, along with muffins, pancakes, sausages, eggs, potatoes, juices, coffee, cereal, toast and a waffle maker. It wasn't gourmet, but it was pretty good; and the best part is it's complimentary!
I loved the lounge area by the bar. At night, there were always people hanging out, watching tv, or just doing work on their laptops(lots of business folks stay here).
Overall, I loved my stay at the Country Inn & Suites. The staff was friendly and helpful, our room was fine, and the hotel itself is well kept(Cleanliness, landscaping, decor, etc.)
I definitely recommend this hotel!!!
