The convenience can’t be beat. The restaurant is great. Only complaint was the device chargers weren’t working, and the electrical outlets were inconveniently placed.

Country Inn at The Mall
Great parking, easy and safe. Room was clean and beds very comfortable. Breakfast was good but the use of plastics and disposable dishes was disappointing. So much waste was sad and unnecessary.
