Countryside Inn

Conveniently located

Staff weren’t at front desk for check in

There are some renovations going on. Very clean. Freshly painted. Beds were ok, nothing to write home about.

Toilet was extremely low for myself as I have mobility injuries. Need grab bars. New sidewalks but no ramps for walkers. Perhaps a small wedge or incline could be added for a smoother walk into the room. Now this review is not necessarily things I didn't like, it's things that need to be implemented.

Friendly staff. Renovated and spotless room. Quiet location.

A coffee maker.

Overall, on a weekend during tourist season, it was all that was available with limited notice. Good location to get into Downtown, and close to the 401Hwy. The bed itself was comfortable, and the air conditioning system worked, so that was a positive! As well, the staff mbr who checked me in was friendly and pleasant.

Overall, for $300CAD, I would certainly expect more. That rate is comparable to the Hampton Inn ~900m away, and includes significantly more amenities and quality. The exterior is under significant construction, which is fine, however work starts quite early on Sunday morning. On check in, The staff explained that they were almost done renovating all the rooms to update them, and that I would be getting a newly completed room. The room itself is very "Spartan". Aside from a desk chair, a stained mini-fridge (with stickers from a local plumbing business on the front), a nightstand, and obviously the bed, there was limited furniture or space in the room. Things such as a working TV, WiFi, or nightstand lamps, were not included. After checking in, the staff mbr on duty kindly brought over a towel and cloth, which was great. That said, none were provided in room, and there were no additional ones available. All said, if this was a $90-$130, room, it would have been fine; as at that price you know what you're getting. But for $300, its poor value unfortunately.
