"We totally enjoyed our stay at Country Inn Suites. Our room was lovely. Having a suite was nice for our 4 night stay as was having a refrigerator and microwave. We enjoyed the breakfast and afternoon cookies. The hot tub helped us unwind after our long days. The hotel was ideally located for us to jump on 90 E/W and head to our destination. Shopping nearby too.,Highly recommend this hotel for travelers and we would stay here again if in the area."
