Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Amarillo, TX

Bed was comfortable, sheets were clean bathroom was very clean. Coffee was very good. Breakfast was good with lots of options

The wall and chair had dried stains all over, they REALLY needed to be cleaned. The room had a VERY STRONG spray odor. It felt like they were covering up pet smells or smoking smells. My daughter and I both woke up with a headache.

The increase in quality is reflected in the price

I went to a few other hotels in the area. One was around $50 a night and a good benchmark for hotel quality. The parking lot was full with lots of people. Obviously a popular hotel. However, the noise levels were much higher. The rooms aren’t as nice. The Country Inn & Suites has good soundproofing, nice furniture without obvious wear from use, and the windows open to allow the room to be air’ed out from all the deodorizers that most hotels use.

The deodorizers that most hotels use are toxic and give me an instant headache while I am in the cloud. The ability to air out the room made all the difference. Internet security is important to me because of my business. I was provided a WiFi password. But when I connected to the WiFi, it did not require one which means the connection was not encrypted and would allow someone close by to eaves drop on your internet communication. I told the front desk about that and they said they would fix it. They also have an ethernet cable connection which gets around the WiFi problem. I also checked to see if the hotel was “listening in” and could find no evidence of that.
