Country Haven Inn

The gentlemen checking us in was very friendly, and pleasant to deal with. He was busy, so we waited a few minutes before he could attend to us, but once he was free, we found him to be kindly, approachable and attentive. The waffles for breakfast were such a really nice treat—fresh and hot. I also really having appreciated real butter available —real food—instead of cheap margarine or spread. I don’t drink coffee, but when I saw all the varieties of creamer made available, I almost wanted coffee, so I could enjoy the creamer with it! I thought coffee drinkers might really appreciate that. Check-in and checkout were easy.

The bathtub was clean on the inside, but the outside of the tub had been neglected a while. When we first walked in, we wondered if a skunk had blasted our room. The room was overwhelmingly reeking of marijuana. Either the previous customer smokes or vapes it, or the cleaning staff does. We were so exhausted from driving through non-stop storms all day, that we didn’t ask for a different room, just in case they all smelled badly from cleaning staff using. We just opened the windows a few minutes and hoped for the best. It helped a little, instead of getting worse, so it wasn’t a skunk. It was a pothead stinking up the place. We will come back again and see if it it’s better the next time we visit family there. Even if it still stinks like weed, we would stay if we have to, because there are few alternatives in Hillsboro, KS, but we would prefer to go someplace that doesn’t smell like pot. Pot smokers don’t realize (or care) how revolting, nauseating, and oppressive the smell is to non-smokers.

Nice breakfast!

Updated rooms

Overall, the Country Haven Inn was better than expected. Check-in was easy, the room was clean and comfortable, and everything worked. It's the only hotel in this great little town.

The owner or a guest was cooking curry which permeated the common areas. A better breakfast buffet would be an enhancement to the property.

This hotel is well managed. The room was very clean. Excellent place for me to stay when visiting my family.

The television would blink like a fluorescent bulb that may be going out.

Secure facility

Well there was definitely a language barrier. there was a shower curtain missing and no hot water to speak of. we only ended up staying one night. I tried to cancel and get my money back but of course my request wouldn't go through something was wrong with the app blah blah so it was kind of a waste of money we only stayed 1 night. Bo microwave.
