Escape to Green Bay: Your Dream Stay at Country Inn & Suites Awaits!
Escape to Green Bay? More Like ESCAPE from Reality (in the BEST Way Possible!) - A Rambling Review of Country Inn & Suites
Alright, folks, let me spill the beans (and maybe a little coffee…I'm still on Green Bay time) about my recent jaunt to the legendary Cheesehead territory and, more importantly, my stay at the Country Inn & Suites. Honestly, it was less a straightforward "review" and more a… well, an experience. Buckle up, buttercups, because this is gonna be a ride.
First Impressions (And a Minor Panic Attack):
Landing in Green Bay was… exhilarating. Okay, maybe "exhilarating" is overstating it. Let's say it was an experience. The drive to the Country Inn & Suites, however, was smooth. Signs were clear, which, frankly, is a win right there. Parking? Free! (Bless you, Green Bay. Seriously.) Pulling up, I was initially struck by how… well, normal it looked. A perfectly fine exterior, nothing screaming "luxury," but hey, it's Green Bay. I wasn't expecting a gold-plated hotel, and that was a-okay with me.
The check-in process? Smooth as Wisconsin butter. Contactless check-in/out – a HUGE plus in the current climate. The front desk staff were, to put it mildly, pleasant. You know how sometimes hotel staff seem like they're secretly plotting your demise? Not these folks. They were genuinely friendly, helpful, and didn't seem to mind my slightly frazzled state after a long drive. The 24-hour front desk is a lifesaver. Because, let's be honest, traveling sometimes throws you curveballs at 3 AM.
Accessibility - Important Stuff First:
Okay, so the REALLY important stuff. Wheelchair accessible? You betcha. Elevators were plentiful, and the hallways seemed wide enough to accommodate a small parade. I wasn't personally using any mobility aids during this trip, but I could see that the hotel makes a definite effort to be inclusive. Facilities for disabled guests? Checked. They've got it covered. This is a huge point for me, and I'm happy to report they nailed it.
Rooms: My Little Green Bay Sanctuary:
My room… Ah, my room. It was a haven. The air conditioning worked like a charm, which was crucial because Wisconsin summers can be surprisingly… humid. I can't stress enough the importance of good air con, especially when you've been driving for hours, which I had. The blackout curtains were a GODSEND. Seriously, I slept like a log. Forget the Packers, these curtains were the real MVPs.
Inside My Sanctuary: The room was equipped with everything you could ask for like a desk which was great for when I had to catch up on work, and a desk which was awesome for when I had to catch up on work (there was a lot!). Free Wi-Fi that actually worked, hallelujah! No buffering, no agonizing waits – just glorious internet to fuel my scrolling addiction. Coffee/tea maker, essential. Refrigerator, perfect for those late-night snacks (because, let's be real, who doesn't raid the fridge?). And a mini-bar! Okay, that wasn't so mini. I thought I was going to get a small fridge but it was more like a small, but fully stocked fridge that was stocked with water, and drinks!
Food, Glorious Food (and My Near-Disaster With the "Buffet"):
Breakfast. Oh, the breakfast. I’m usually a "skip breakfast" kind of gal, but the promise of a breakfast buffet lured me in. Here's where my experience got… interesting. The buffet itself was a mixed bag. You had your typical Western breakfast staples: scrambled eggs, bacon, pastries, all that jazz. They also had some Asian inspired breakfast options and the Asian breakfast was good which surprised me because I'm not an Asian person. But the most important thing, for me, was the availability of coffee and tea in the restaurant. I’m a caffeine fiend and the coffee definitely woke me up every morning.
The buffet was also available with vegetarian restaurant options which made it easier for my veggie friends.
Here's where things went a little sideways. I, in my infinite wisdom, decided to attempt to juggle a plate laden with scrambled eggs, a croissant precariously balanced on top, and a cup of coffee. Cue the disaster. Coffee sloshed, egg yolk threatened to take flight, and I nearly took out a fellow breakfast-goer. Thankfully, no casualties. I blame the early hour and my lack of coordination.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - More Than Just Eggs:
Beyond the buffet, the hotel had a coffee shop where they sold coffee from all over the world. The poolside bar was great and was the perfect place to cool off. I really loved the restaurants and the wide selection of salads and soups. The Western cuisine in restaurant and the International cuisine in restaurant were exceptional. They also had the option of room service [24-hour]! The bottle of water was the perfect addition to my stay and on top of that I was given a breakfast takeaway service. They also had a snack bar which was perfect for satisfying my late night cravings.
Things to Do (and Ways to Relax, Which I DEFINITELY Needed):
The hotel boasts a swimming pool [outdoor] along with a swimming pool and a pool with view. I had time to relax at the Spa, the spa/sauna and the Steamroom and I couldn't have felt better. They also offered a body wrap and body scrub. And trust me. After the breakfast incident, I needed some serious unwinding. They also had a fitness center, a gym/fitness and a foot bath.
Cleanliness and Safety: My Inner Germaphobe Approved:
Hats off to the hotel for their commitment to cleanliness. Daily disinfection in common areas was a huge comfort, especially in these post-pandemic times. Hand sanitizer stations were everywhere. My favorite? Individually-wrapped food options at breakfast. That's smart! Rooms sanitized between stays? Yep. The whole place just felt, well, safe. I heard they use anti-viral cleaning products and professional-grade sanitizing services, which gave me total peace of mind. They really went above and beyond.
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things That Matter:
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (I may have mentioned that before, but it's worth repeating). Daily housekeeping, a godsend after my messy buffet experience. The laundry service was super useful. They offered a concierge so whatever I needed, I knew I could find it with them. They had a convenience store which meant I didn't need to get back into my car just to get a snack. They provided cashless payment service, luggage storage, ironing service, car park [free of charge]. They even had a gift/souvenir shop for those last-minute Packers-themed trinkets.
For the Kids (Or at Least, the Young-at-Heart):
I didn't have any kids with me, but the hotel seemed family/child friendly. They had kids facilities, and a babysitting service.
Getting Around - Easy Peasy:
Airport transfer was available (wish I'd taken that!), and they had taxi service. If you’re into biking, there's bicycle parking.
The Little Quirks and Imperfections (Because Let's Be Real, Nothing's Perfect):
Okay, confession time. The elevators were a tad slow on occasion. Not a deal-breaker, but if you're in a hurry, take the stairs (though I'm not sure my legs would have appreciated that after all the walking and egg-dodging).
The Verdict (and a Rant About Check-Out):
Overall, the Country Inn & Suites in Green Bay was a definite win. It's clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and staffed by genuinely friendly people. It's not a five-star luxury resort, but it doesn't pretend to be. What it is is a solid, reliable, and welcoming place to stay in Green Bay.
I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars, with a slight ding for the elevator speed and… okay, maybe my own klutziness at breakfast.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're getting the REAL lowdown on a stay at the Country Inn & Suites in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Forget those perfectly curated travel vlogs, this is your invitation into my slightly chaotic brain. We're talking REAL experiences, no filter, just pure, glorious, messy human-ness.
Day 1: Arrival and the Quest for Cheese Curds (and Sanity)
1:00 PM - Arrival at Country Inn & Suites, Green Bay: Okay, first impressions. The lobby? Surprisingly pleasant. Not exactly the Ritz, but hey, it's clean and smells faintly of chlorine and… maybe a hint of stale popcorn? I always judge a hotel by its lobby, and honestly, it passed. Check-in was smooth, which is HUGE because let's be real, I'm already running late. My luggage? A glorious catastrophe of haphazardly packed clothes and enough books to last me a year.
1:30 PM - The Room Revelation: Oh, sweet baby Jesus. It's a standard room, nothing fancy. King bed (score!), a desk, a TV that I'll probably never figure out how to use, and a view of… the parking lot. Sigh. But hey, at least it's a clean parking lot. And the AC kicks on immediately, which is a total lifesaver in Wisconsin weather.
2:00 PM - The Cheese Curd Pilgrimage Begins: Right. This is the real reason I'm here. Cheese curds. I've heard whispers of their magical, squeaky goodness, and I’m on a holy mission. Armed with Yelp and a desperate hunger, I ventured out. I find a nice establishment not far away. It's called "The Cheeseburgers" because it's Wisconsin!
2:30 PM - The Cheese Curd Nirvana… and the Letdown: Okay, the first bite? Pure joy. That squeak? A religious experience. I almost cried. Almost. But after about 20 seconds, something odd, the cheese curd was only half-way cooked! I didn't feel right, with the feeling of being robbed of what's on the menu. I'm not one to complain, but is this what a cheese curd in Wisconsin feels like? Is this how the cookie crumbles?
4:00 PM - Back to the Hotel, Regrouping, and the Pool Debacle: After my culinary disappointment, I decided to go to the hotel, back to my room. I felt a bit of the fatigue which I haven't gotten a lot in a while. I decided to check out the pool, it's in the schedule, right? I put on my swimsuit and got ready for a nice swim. But the pool was closed! "Maintenance" they said. "For the rest of the day" they said. Sigh. Okay, plan B: nap.
6:00 PM - Dinner Mishap #1 and the Unexpected Charm: My dinner plan was, I get ready to go to a Chinese restaurant. However, I get ready and I walk out only to find out my car has a flat tire. "Good". I walked back into the hotel, defeated. Then, the hotel employee came up to me and said "I just called a taxi for you, I'm sorry about your situation" I'm shocked but I was flattered, I thanked him and went on my way. The taxi was friendly. He told me what the place was like, the weather, the people, everything. I got to the restaurant, I ordered my food and as I was waiting, I saw someone I knew. We exchanged pleasantries and when my food arrived, it was better than I expected.
8:00 PM - The Hotel Room Ritual and "The Office" Therapy: I return to the hotel exhausted but full. Back in the room I find my routine, I brush my teeth, put on my comfy clothes, and I get my show ready. Tonight's show, "The Office". This show helped me so much, it always makes me laugh. It also makes me sad that I love it so much, but don't tell anyone about that.
Day 2: Packers and Pancakes (and the Battle Against the Unexplained Itch)
7:00 AM - Breakfast Buffet: A Culinary Minefield: The hotel breakfast is, to put it mildly, a mixed bag. The scrambled eggs? Possibly made of rubber. The sausage? Questionable origins. But the waffles? Sigh. The waffle machine is my new best friend. I make a stack, smother them in syrup, and try not to judge the person across from me who's piling bacon onto their plate like it's the last meal on Earth.
8:00 AM - Packers Pilgrimage (sort of): Green Bay. Packers land! I'm not a huge football fan, but hey, you can't come here and not acknowledge the green and gold. I attempted to get to Lambeau field, but I find myself going to the wrong direction. At the end of the day, I found a really cool shop that sold all types of Green Bay merchandise, I got myself a souvenir.
10:00 AM - The Mysterious Itch: Okay, this is where things get weird. Suddenly, an itch. An unrelenting itch. On my arm. And then my leg. And then my back. I swear I'm not allergic to anything, but this is starting to feel like a personal vendetta from… something. I spend the next hour self-consciously scratching and trying to figure out if I've wandered into a plague zone.
11:00 AM - Exploring Downtown (and the Itch Continues): I venture into downtown Green Bay, scratching my way through the shops and trying to appreciate the local art scene, which, to be honest, is pretty cool. But the itch. It’s relentless. Are these tiny, invisible Wisconsin mosquitoes? Am I allergic to… the air? The mystery deepens.
1:00 PM - Lunch and the Itch Intervention: I find a local cafe. While ordering, I'm scratching. The cashier stares at me, and I feel awkward. I explained what's happening. She told me to get something that would stop the itch. She gave me some suggestions. After my meal, I went to get the items I needed.
3:00 PM - Pool Attempt #2 and Triumph: I decided to give the pool another try. And guess what? It's open! Praise be! I jump in, the cool water soothing my itchy skin. Ah, sweet, sweet relief.
6:00 PM - Dinner Mishap #2 and the Unexpected Delight: Okay, tonight I try to order take out. It takes an hour and a half before my food actually comes. At this point, I am so hungry. When the taxi arrived, I got my food and got in. When I opened up the container, it wasn't what I ordered. It was worse than the cheese curds. I just threw the food away. I thought to myself "Why am I so unlucky?". I decided to go to the lobby. Luckily, the hotel manager was working the desk, and he was a very good man. He gave me a good suggestion for some really good pizza places. I got in the car, and I was on my way. The pizza, oh man, was the best pizza I ever had.
8:00 PM - Early Night and the Promise of a Scratch-Free Tomorrow (hopefully): Back in the room, I take a long, hot shower, dousing myself in anti-itch cream. I collapse into bed, praying for a night of peaceful sleep and the eradication of this tormenting itch. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Maybe tomorrow I'll finally conquer the cheese curd quest. We'll see.
