The staff at check in were not the most welcoming. My family was not provided times for breakfast, the dining room location, or any information on WiFi or other amenities. Breakfast was lack luster with staff failing to restock empty food containers when 30 minutes remained of breakfast and more guests were coming to eat. Furthermore, my husband consumed expired and curdled milk that nearly made him vomit in the dining room. He did not make a scene and made the property’s staff aware in the event other milk products were bad. The staff failed to apologize, did not remotely appear concerned and simply said, “Ok”. While I was happy to pay the stay price for safety near the dunes, I found this property very lack luster and will seek alternative stay options if my family is ever in the area again. The hospitality just wasn’t there. (**side note. The front desk ladies in the morning were very cordial and kind. I felt welcomed from them and appreciated their energy)

I booked an upgrade room with a king bed, a divider with a couch and chair on the other side of the divider. That is what I paid for. I got a basic room which is not even offered on the Expedia site. When I raised this with the desk clerk at the Country Inn, he said that I got exactly what Expedia transmitted to them and there was nothing he could do about it. To add injury to insult, we stayed there four nights and was promised housekeeping every three days. We never got it. I had to empty my own trash cans.

Needs some attention

Just okay. Seems like they need some TLC here. A lot out of service or broken during our visit, including the ice machine on our floor (2nd), juice machine in the breakfast area and a side exit door…which seemed like a fire code issue in my opinion (we weren’t permitted to use it.) Breakfast was not well stocked and handles to ladles and cloche’s were crusty and filthy. There was mold forming inside our AC unit. Fire alarm test alarm occurred in guest rooms at 8am.

The facilities were generally as expected, but it was startling the issues we came across with the hotel staff. At check in, the concierge repeatedly said I had not paid for the room and I had not been charged, despite my showing receipts through both my credit card and Expedia. He refused to look further or listen, and wouldn't even look at me. Eventually the other concierge offered to look through something on the computer and found my payment. After the inconvenience, we just given our keys without any apology or anything. My guests and I were baffled and offended by the interaction. The following morning we arrived at breakfast roughly 40 minutes before it was over and found very few items still in stock. Then, as we were getting our food, two employees had an open, loud argument about whether one employee was allowed to get food yet. They yelled about who was in charge, who had been there longer, etc. After the argument cooled down, one employee came over to our table and apologized for the intrusion ... then continued to argue for some time about why she was right and how long she had been working at the hotel. She seemed like she had good intentions, but was such an awkward interaction all together. I visit family in this area several times a year, and I don't think I'll be staying here again.

Good Location

Great location if you’re planning to take a trip to the National/State Parks. Several food options within walking distance. Not many complaints about the hotel itself. It can be noisy from the people above you. I was also a little disappointed going to the pool and another guest had to let me know someone got sick in the pool and there was no indication from the staff or warning signs not to get in. Other than that the hotel stay served its purpose.
