Country Inn & Suites, by Carlson, Springfield, OH


SERVICE & CHECKIN -- Stylish hospitality staff & a Free early-checkin policy always win me over.

The actual checkin process has room to grown in terms of speed & efficiency.

My impression was still favorable due to how earnest everyone was + the friendly banter.

No late checkout offered sadly.


LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORS -- Cozy Cabin vibes ❤️.

I like the decor a lot: intimate, quaint, & charming.

Their toasty lobby fireplace was a much needed treat.

Such a great aesthetic.


ROOM (walkthrough) -- Fresh, clean, & unbelievably aromatic.

This Double had generous dimension & was decorated with amazing stock.

The curated vibe was consistent from entrance to guest room, enhanced by the tranquil wall art.

Strong on design & strong on function with sliding windows, ergonomic rolling chair, a large natural wood desk, and really good lighting.

Beautiful.


BED -- A comfortable double queen configuration.

All the making of a great winter sleep experience:

extra pillows with a good fill, polyester linens to preserve heat, & a Serta mattress

Very restful.


BATH -- Nice aesthetic and fixtures but embarrassingly thin towels; also on the smaller side

Its a smaller space too but otherwise, this bathroom was a hit:

Strong exhaust, crazy-good water pressure, contemporary washbasin & eye-catching backsplash along the vanity.

The shower was a traditional combination alcove-- no frills.

House brand toiletries are provided but BYOB for this one.


TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- A dated ~30" SD Panasonic TV.

Quality is sufficient, just a lower resolution than normal.

The biggest pain point is the remote choice: it can be a chore to get a signal to register.


WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- Rough... Cell (Verizon) reception is in the boonies💔

Very Low wifi bandwidth.

Online gaming - poor

Video chatting - poor

NOISE -- Quiet as a mouse.


RATING

Awesome property & staff.

The Wifi situation isn't suitable for remote work & you can forget about tethering.

Still, it was a treat to stay here & highly recommend it.

4/5 ⭐️
