"We arrived at the Countryside Inn during designated checkin times. No one was there to check us in. I tried calling the phone number listed but no one answered and it went to voice mail which I could not leave as the mailbox was full. We waited around a half hour for someone to show up and then decided to visit our friends who live right behind the motel. After an hour we went back to the motel and someone was finally there. I opened the door to the office and I have never seen a bigger mess and there was a definite odor that was not pleasant.
Even though our reservation was made more than a month prior, they had no room for us and "upgraded" our room at their other property the Cedars Motel in town. Let me tell you it was no upgrade. The carpet was disgusting, stains and it was loose and pulled up. The refrigerator was open and not turned on as you would expect. The bathroom door would not close and the water temperature in the shower could not be adjusted as the deverter valve was frozen in place. The three nights that we stayed there the room was never serviced and we never saw an employee at all."
Charming cozy cabin tucked away in a peaceful corner of nature, perfect escape!
10/10 Excellent
"Cute cozy stay at this VRBO. Shaun was super quick with information, patient with us bring new to VRBO and friendly in person as well. The space was perfect for us and our dog. The amenities were great as well: smart tv, wifi and cedar sauna were appreciate and easy to use - lots of options as well for fire pits. Thanks for hosting us!"
"The cabin was awesome and the surroundings were so peaceful, it was like visiting paradise. I will definitely be telling friends and family about this hidden gem."
"We had a fantastic stay at the Sandman Inn in Princeton! While the property is an older motel, it’s very well maintained and clean. From the moment we walked through the doors, Julie, the manager, was absolutely amazing.
Julie truly made our stay that much better — she is an absolute gem of a person. Her friendliness, professionalism, and genuine care made us feel welcome right away and made our experience much more enjoyable.
After this experience, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Princeton. We will definitely be back!
Thank you, Julie, for making our stay such a memorable one. We truly appreciate it."
"This was my 2nd stay at this property. All the excellent features of my visit in October 2024, plus welcome upgrades to both the front and especially back yard were very welcome. Can’t wait for a 3rd visit!"
"The property is not as described. It is actually in someone's backyard and there is no cell service either. We have been trying to get a refund from the host for a week because we never actually stayed at the property, but they are very difficult to get a hold of and have given us no help."
