"The facility was clean and I appreciated the hard floors in the guest room (vs carpet) and the accessibility in the restroom for my husband who is recuperating from a stroke. We also appreciated the board games that were available for us to borrow during our stay."

"Always a great stay there. Desk has gotten to know me cause I stay there when I can. They have stopped the free breakfest currently tho. The hotel is transitioning to another brand , a Hilton. God I hope they don't hike the prices up. It is a nice budget range hotel now. I'd say the best one on the Pike."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Harrisburg West Mechanicsburg

8/10 Good

"Staff was kind and helpful in resolving our issues (very loud pipe hammer) by moving us to another room. Their manager, not on site, was unwilling to take a phone call from them, so they did their best. New room was an improvement, but we did find dog hair on the couch cushions. The room was quiet, and we slept well. As always, check-in and out were easy, and we appreciate the 12pm check-out time. Breakfast has gone downhill; as a gluten-free eater, I was disappointed to see that the breakfast protein was battered and fried (and not very good, according to my husband). Still, it was a decent stay. Desk staff was kind enough to manage our next booking (several months ahead) by placing us in a non-highway side room. While it wasn't the greatest hotel experience ever, it beats the last two we've had by a mile."
