“Clean and New”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Not too much time in the room on this overnighter but it was nicely furnished and very comfortable. The small living room had a couch, upholstered chair, and desk set. Lighting was good throughout. Bathroom was neither too large or small, water pressure good, and everything worked. There was also a wet bar sink across from the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the dedicated HVAC unit is controlled by the occupant. The price was attractive making the furnishings a good value. The breakfast was very satisfying with both hot and cold items. I thought the selection was good enough to please any person's tastes; it was not an austere venue. Cookies and apples at the front front desk. I couldn't think of anything more to ask for. Definitely worth staying there again.

“Great for a family stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We went skiing at Ski Liberty and stayed at this hotel. It was about a 1/2 hour from the slopes, but was perfect for our family. We had a suite which, albeit small, was fine. We could stay up later while our kids slept in the other room. The pool has a decent indoor pool and a very hot dipping pool/jacuzzi. This helped burn off the kids remaining energy and sooth sore muscles from skiing. The breakfast buffet was standard and got too crowded, but we appreciated that it was included. The front desk was very helpful. The hotel is right next to the outlet malls if you feel the need to go shopping. Gettysburg is a charming historical town with a lot to do. Overall, this was a fine, no thrills family hotel.

Room Tip: Get a suite if traveling with family.

“New Years 2 day getaway.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

person found this review helpful

My wife and I took advantage of the large discount offerd by this hotel for 2 days on New Years weekend. Booked a studio suite with a king bed. Room was nice with 2 seperated areas and 2 TV's and a sofa bed. Room and bath were very clean. Bed felt a little hard and lumpy. TV's were old and in large cabinets and could use some upgrading. Rooms would seem a lot larger with flat screens.
Breakfast area was busy and especially busy on New Years morning when there was no place to sit. We made a later attempt to eat and found a table and had to clean it first. The 2 women on duty seemed to be overwhelmed by the large crowd. There were a lot of large families with some very undisiiplinned kids whitch were making a huge mess. Had to feel sorry for the 2 women who were doing ther best. They did keep the food area stocked and everything was good
Pool area was nice but again busy. Pool is small in comparison to most hotels, but the sauna was bigger then most.
Hotel is very close to the battlefield visitor center. (5 minutes). We also walked across the parking lot to TGIFridays for dinner on our first night. Good food and very handy. Outlet center is also an easy walk.

“Pin Pricked Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel for two nights while I was Christmas shopping at the Outlet Mall.
The staff was warm and friendly. My room was a studio suite on the ground floor and fit my needs. The bed was comfortable till my second night there when a felt a sharp on my side.
I got out of bed and felt around the sheets to find a push pin inbedded between the mattress cover and top sheet.
I was scratched from the pin. The following morning I took the push pin and went to the front desk to tell them of the problem. Surely the housekeeping would have found this pin when they made the bed I told them. I was given a refund for my room and an apology.

“Fabulous Hotel - Pet Friendly too!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011
5
people found this review helpful

My husband and I just returned from an 8 day trip to Gettysburg (with our 2 Siberian Huskies) and stayed at the Country Inn and Suites. I originally picked it because of the "pet friendly" accommodations and can't say enough about how wonderful this hotel is! Everyone is so friendly, helpful and informative - from the front desk, housekeeping, breakfast staff etc. no matter who we saw we were always greeted with a smile. When booking I asked for the largest room because of the 2 dogs and was advised to take the VIP Suite. Wow! This was like an apartment - huge living room which extended to a dining room with table & 6 chairs, wet bar with refrigerator, sink and microwave, huge separate king size bedroom (very comfortable beds) and large bathroom. There was also free wifi and 2 televisions in the suite. The hotel offered a free hot breakfast which was excellent (eggs, waffles, sausage or bacon, cold cereals and a variety of fresh fruit, breads and muffins) - and they constantly refilled everything. What I liked best is that breakfast was served until 10 AM every morning - not the usual 9 AM on weekdays as in other places. There is a nice size indoor pool, large hot tub and and exercise room too. The location is perfect - across the parking lot is the Gettysburg Outlet Shops and it is less than 5 minutes drive to the Visitors Center and historic Gettysburg. There is a TGI Friday adjacent to the hotel too. To top it off, this was probably the most pet friendly place we have ever stayed - they even had biscuits in the lobby for the "doggies" - next to the 24 hour free coffee and chocolate chip cookies for the "humans". All in all it was a wonderful 8 days and I would strongly recommend this Country Inn and Suites to everyone - especially if you are traveling with your 4 legged friends!
