Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Lake Norman Huntersville, NC

8/10 Good

"We chose this hotel because it had the option for the in-suite Jacuzzi tub and had an indoor pool. This was just a mini weekend getaway after a really stressful few weeks of work, and we were really looking forward to swimming, but it was supposed to rain so we chose a hotel with an indoor pool so our plans wouldn’t be ruined. However, the pool room was kept at a very cool 75° (this is very cool for the south where outdoor temps are closer to 90° at this time of year) and the water was not heated. I think I could’ve dealt without the water being heated if the pool room was warmer - but even completely submerged in the water we had goosebumps. It was too uncomfortable to swim and ruined our plans to enjoy the pool. Which was a bummer, considering this was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel. Otherwise, everything else was ok. We didn’t get up early enough for breakfast, and didn’t stay long enough to need maid service, so I don’t have any comments on that. The in-room jacuzzi tub is a nice feature, allowing us to relax and soak while watching a movie. The plug kind of sucked though, and wasn’t fully sealed, so we had to keep adding water periodically. But you usually need to warm it back up after a bit anyway, so that wasn’t a problem. The bed was a little too firm for our liking, we prefer a more medium mattress. The room overall was nice enough, but even set at 60 with the fan on constant “high” it never felt cooler than 70ish."
