Escape to Augusta: Luxurious Country Hearth Inn & Suites Awaits!
Escape to Augusta: My Honest (and Slightly Messy) Take on the Luxurious Country Hearth Inn & Suites!
Okay, so you want the lowdown on escaping to Augusta and resting your weary (or maybe just slightly stressed) head at the Country Hearth Inn & Suites? Buckle up, buttercup, because I'm about to give you the raw, unfiltered truth. This isn’t your typical cookie-cutter hotel review. I’m going to spill the beans, the tea, the… well, you get the idea.
First off, the name is a bit much, isn't it? "Luxurious Country Hearth"! Sounds like they're aiming for serious comfort. And hey, if you're yearning for a cozy escape, that's exactly what I was after. So, let's start with the good stuff, shall we? (There’s always good stuff, right?)
Accessibility - Gotta Love a Smooth Entry (and Exit!)
Right off the bat, massive thumbs up for actually thinking about accessibility! Wheelchair accessible is a huge win, and they're clearly trying. They didn't just slap a ramp on the front door and call it a day. Elevators? Check. Proper signage? Check. It's the little things, y'know? Makes a difference for everyone. They've got the Facilities for disabled guests, too, which is always important.
Cleanliness and Safety - My Inner Germaphobe Approved!
Look, I’m not going to lie. In the current climate, I’m practically a professional sanitizer. This place actually eased my anxieties! They're seriously committed to cleanliness. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Professional-grade sanitizing services? Yes, please! They even offer Room sanitization opt-out available if you feel like you want to be extra cautious. The Hand sanitizer at every turn was a godsend and the Staff trained in safety protocol made me feel, well, safer!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Prepare to Eat! (Maybe Too Much?)
Let's be honest, part of the appeal of a getaway is ditching the dishes. The Country Hearth… well, they offer options. Lots of options.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Okay, full disclosure: I love a good hotel buffet. This one had the usual suspects, but the scrambled eggs were surprisingly fluffy and the coffee…well, the coffee was strong enough to wake the dead. The Breakfast in room and Breakfast takeaway service options are great for those of us who want to enjoy a slow morning. An Asian breakfast option? Intriguing!
- Restaurants: They've got Restaurants, plural! Seems you can find Asian cuisine in restaurant, and Western cuisine in restaurant.
- Bar: The Bar was a welcome sight after a long day. I was pleased to see a Poolside bar, which is always an extra treat. And let's be real, sometimes you just need a Bottle of water to stay hydrated!
- Coffee shop: Ah, the Coffee shop, a lifesaver for those midday caffeine cravings.
- Room service [24-hour]: This is a champion's move. You can order food or drinks to your room. That's amazing.
- Snack bar: Perfect for those in-between-meal cravings.
- Vegetarian restaurant: Nice to have choices!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax - Spa Day Bliss (and Some Minor Fumbles)
Okay, now we're talking! This is where the "luxurious" part should kick in.
- Spa: The big draw here. The Spa's a pretty big deal. I spent a significant amount of time in there, so lets focus on some of the key aspects of the resort's spa.
- Massage: Absolute heaven. My masseuse, bless her, worked out knots I didn't even know I had. I'm talking hours of pure bliss, just melting into the table.
- Sauna: I'm a sauna enthusiast, so I spent a good chunk of time here. The Spa/sauna experience was top-notch.
- Steamroom: Always a good way to relax.
- Swimming pool: The Swimming pool [outdoor] was pretty awesome. The Pool with view was the cherry on top.
The Room - My Sanctuary, (Mostly)
My room? Spotless. Truly. The Air conditioning worked a treat. I'm a sucker for Blackout curtains, and these delivered the goods. Free Wi-Fi (and Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!) was a godsend (gotta stay connected, even when escaping!). The Bathroom was well-appointed, with a Separate shower/bathtub and Bathrobes (major bonus). I felt like I was living in luxury! Then again, I am pretty easily pleased. The Additional toilet was a bonus. I was a little irritated about the Laptop workspace – a minor nitpick.
Services and Conveniences - All the Little Things, Right?
They've thought of pretty much everything. Concierge? Yep. Daily housekeeping? Of course. Dry cleaning and Laundry service for those who pack light (or, like me and overpack!). Luggage storage is always helpful. And the Car park [free of charge] is always a plus. The Facilities for disabled guests are good. The Elevator works and they even have Cash withdrawal.
Getting Around - Easy Peasy
Parking? Sorted. Car park [free of charge]. They even have Car park [on-site]. The Airport transfer is a lifesaver.
The Quirks and Imperfections - Because Life Isn't Perfect!
Okay, so here's where things get real. The Happy hour was a bit underwhelming. The music in the Poolside bar was a bit repetitive for my taste. The Happy hour was a bit underwhelming. The Fitness center seemed a bit small. But, honestly? These are minor quibbles. No place is perfect, and I suspect this might have improved.
The Bottom Line: Should You Book?
Absolutely. If you’re looking for a solid “escape,” and you appreciate cleanliness and a good spa experience, the Country Hearth is your jam. It’s not flawless, but it's genuinely pleasant, comfortable, and makes a real effort to cater to everyone. (That’s a huge deal).

Monroeville's BEST Comfort Suites: Unbeatable Deals & Amenities!Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're going FULL CHAOS MODE in Augusta, Georgia, at the glorious, slightly-less-than-glamorous Country Hearth Inn & Suites. My life? Basically a traveling circus act, so let's see how this goes.
Country Hearth Inn & Suites Augusta (Augusta, GA) – The Real Itinerary (For Better or For Worse)
Day 1: Arrival & the Triumph of the Air Conditioner (or, My Room is Alive!)
- 1:00 PM: Touchdown at Augusta Regional Airport (AGS). Okay, so the flight was already a comedy of errors. Delayed, seat assignment wrong (naturally), AND the guy next to me kept trying to sell me… I don't even know what it was. Some kind of… pyramid scheme supplement? Anyway, I’m here! And starving.
- 2:00 PM: Check-in at Country Hearth. Ah, yes, the welcome committee of peeling wallpaper and the vague scent of stale coffee. But hey, the lady at the front desk was sweet, and there was a tiny, almost-functional elevator. Score!
- 2:30 PM: Room Inspection. Okay, so it's… not the Ritz. The carpet looks like it's seen some things. The bathroom? Let's just say I'm crossing my fingers for no surprise guests. The air conditioner, though? GLORY! It's a roaring beast of cool air, and I'm practically weeping with joy. Seriously, in the South, a working AC is a religious experience.
- 3:00 PM: Unpack (mostly). Okay, let’s be brutally honest, unpacking is more about creating a pile of "stuff I might need" and praying I don't accidentally throw my passport out the window. Praying my phone charger doesn't disappear.
- 4:00 PM: Augusta Exploration Phase 1: Food! Found a surprisingly decent diner a couple blocks down. Ate a mountain of fries and a burger the size of my head. Regret. Happiness. Repeat.
- 6:00 PM: Trying to figure out the dang TV. The remote? A battlefield of indecipherable buttons. Finally, after a solid 20 minutes of button-mashing, managed to find… the Weather Channel. Guess I'll be taking that "chance of precipitation" to heart.
- 7:00 PM: The great debate: Netflix or a walk. Netflix won. Because self-care.
- 8:00 PM: Realize the WiFi is about as robust as my willpower. Mild rage. Back to Netflix.
- 8:30 PM - Sleep time: Sleep or the attempt of it. It is not easy, but it will come.
Day 2: History, Hustle, and a Near-Meltdown (My Soul is a Soufflé)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up, mostly. The bed was, at least, relatively comfy. Air conditioner still holding strong… bless. Coffee: a necessary evil (the kind from the coffee machine in the lobby, so not exactly gourmet.)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel - not good, but hey, it fills the hole.
- 9:00 AM: Augusta History Time! Spent the morning wandering around historic downtown Augusta. Saw the Augusta Canal, which was actually pretty darn cool. And the architecture? Stunning, in that "I've-seen-better-days" sort of way. I really got into it and was feeling all the historical vibes.
- 11:00 AM: The Hustle. Realized I needed to find a working printer and a decent internet connection (again). This turned into an increasingly desperate quest – the city felt like it was designed to frustrate me.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch, because clearly I need fuel for the internet search and a small meltdown. Found a place and grabbed a sandwich, but basically I was a zombie, and the sandwich was not quite good enough.
- 1:00 PM: The Computer Search: a complete and utter disaster. Libraries were closed, Internet cafes were nonexistent, and everything was just wrong! By 2 PM, I was convinced the entire city was in cahoots to sabotage my work. I nearly wept in a Panera Bread.
- 3:00 PM: Found a FedEx, printed some things, felt better.
- 4:00 PM: A walk in the streets. Found a quaint little shop.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Pizza. Comfort food to soothe the soul.
- 7:00 PM: Back to the room, feeling the familiar pull of that sweet, sweet air conditioning.
Day 3: The Masters (Sort Of), Unexpected Delights, and the Reluctant Farewell
- 8:00 AM: More hotel coffee. The struggle is real.
- 9:00 AM: Attempting to catch a glimpse of the Masters Tournament (it's the reason everyone goes to Augusta, right?). No luck getting tickets, of course, but I drove around the area, soaking up the atmosphere. The houses were… grand. And the manicured lawns? Insanely perfect. Felt out of my league, frankly.
- 11:00 AM: Decided to skip the Masters-induced tension, and just have chill time, that also includes shopping and some relaxation.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at a quirky little cafe. The food turned out to be amazing. The staff? Delightful. The best part of Augusta so far!
- 2:00 PM: Packing. The worst part of any trip.
- 4:00 PM: Goodbye to the Country Hearth Inn & Suites.
- 5:00 PM: Head to the airport.
- 7:00 PM: Takeoff. Reflecting on the slightly chaotic, utterly imperfect, and strangely endearing experience of Augusta. The air conditioning was a win. The history was fascinating. The internet? Well, no one's perfect.
Final Thoughts:
Augusta, you were… a lot. Your quirks, your history, and your slightly rustic accommodations will stay in my memories. Until next time, maybe.
