For the price, this was a nice place. Room was clean and beds were comfy on our most recent stay, but I will note we've had a few incidents here in the past (many years ago...I've stayed here several times as family lives nearby) where non-smoking rooms smelled like smoke that they had poorly attempted to cover up. We didn't use the pool or exercise room on our most recent visit. Cozy feel to this place. The continental breakfast had fewer options than other places I've stayed, but still had breads, muffins, pre-packaged hard-boiled eggs, cereal, and yogurt.
The rooms are larger, and even being off the main through road, it was quiet. The pool is clean and well maintained. Breakfast was filling and the staff kept everything stocked. We enjoyed our stay.
Such a nice hotel! The room was clean and the staff were kind!
Overall, it is a good place to stay for your money. Building is a little rundown and old, so don't expect anything fancy. Bed was more comfortable than some pricier hotels that I've stayed at. The staff was really friendly and kind. The only issue I had was that the smoke detector must've run out of batteries and woke me up an hour and a half earlier than I was planning.
Clean comfy room. The breakfast is very basic. They have a cool pancake machine.
We were looking for a place to stay last minute on our way back from southern Minnesota. We were traveling as a family of 4 adults, 4 small children, and a service animal; We could not have had better customer service from Courtney. She took the time to show us different available rooms, while she was still answering multiple phone calls and accomodating other guests, with ease. Courtney was very personable and kind and interacted with our children that were quite rambunctious to say the least; She handled the situation like a pro. Michael (Mike), was another 5 star employee. He went above and beyond and could not have been more kind and understanding. We all have worked in hospitality so we fully understand how challenging it can be. The Country Inn (Deerwood) have excellent employees and we would recommend staying there to anyone. We will definitely stay there again when in the area. Thank you Micheal and Courtney! You made our trip more memorable.
The manager here is amazing. The owner is working on upgrading the hotel. The breakfast during the week is slim, the usual fare on the weekends. Our beds were comfy, room was clean. The Deer Stand is in walking distance, great place for food/drinks.
Was good. The pool and hot tub was nice. One lamp in the room would not work. The shower had low pressure. The breakfast was ok don't like that you had to walk down a hall to sit and eat your food. But all in all it was nice.
