Country Hearth Inn

I stayed here several days over the course of two weeks while in town for work. This is probably 1 of 3 hotels in the entire town. At first it seemed cozy. It seems fairly clean, but definitely could use some improvement. The rooms are shabby, the fixtures, furniture, appliances are all old.
There seems to generally be only one staff person on-​site who is responsible for pretty much everything: laundry, housekeeping, desk attendance. That is understandable considering that the hotel is small and pretty dead with mostly truckers and construction workers staying there. There were no security measures on the main doors. I stayed here several days and what irritated me was that the ice machine broke and no one bothered to place an out-​of-​order sign on it or seemed to even care. There were two vending machines, both completely empty. There was a supposed complimentary breakfast, which they could have kept to themselves. Stale bagels/​honey bun was pretty much what that consisted of. Also there were random gnats in the rooms sometimes even though there was no food left out. They just appeared. The staff was so-​so. one of the ladies was super-​pleasant and accommodating, not sure if she was a manager. There were two other females that I encountered who gave off the vibe that I was bugging them if I asked for anything, which I had to do quite often considering that everyday my key card would deactivate and I’d have to go to the desk to get reactivated. The first time it happened i was told it was because there had been a power outage earlier that day. One time I had to stand at the desk and wait about 10 minutes because the only staff on duty (apparently) was down the hall/​upstairs cleaning a room. The staff could usually be found sitting outdoors smoking when not at the front desk or attending to other duties.
When it was time for me to check-​out for good, they for some strange reason were unable to print my receipts and claimed they would mail them to me (yeah right). I ended up calling back and telling them that I needed the receipts before leaving town and would be in to pick them up later. When I went back they handed me a bunch of pages and said they
had to print each day individually although the reservation was for an entire week. This explains why I had to reactivated my key card everyday, I was being checked out and re-​checking in everyday.
The were also tacky handwritten signs taped all over the lobby desk and even on the front door.
I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend staying here for more than a day or two. I was actually in town for several weeks, but ended up finding a hotel in the next town over because I just couldn’t stay here anymore :-(
Two stars because it wasnt a complete dump. It could actually be somewhat decent if the staff/​management improved.
