Lewisburg Getaway: Unwind at the AMAZING Country Inn & Suites!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the Lewisburg Getaway: Unwind at the AMAZING Country Inn & Suites! And let me tell you, after spending a weekend there… well, let's just say I have opinions. And they're all over the place, just like my suitcase when I unpacked.
First off, let's get the practical stuff out of the way. Accessibility? Yep, seems pretty good. Wheelchair accessible is a big checkmark, which is fantastic. It's always a relief when you don't have to worry about navigating a maze of stairs. Now, on-site restaurants/lounges… well, we’ll get to that. Internet is another must-have, right? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be to the Wi-Fi gods! I mean, can you even live without the internet these days? (Don't answer that, I'm already judging you). You can also find Internet [LAN] and Internet services for those who are old school or need a more secure connection.
Cleanliness and safety is HUGE right now, and honestly, Lewisburg Getaway seems to be taking it seriously. I’m talking Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and a whole host of precautions, like Hand sanitizer stations everywhere you look. Room sanitization opt-out available - because even when you are taking care of your health, who wants to be forced to do anything? They've got Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, and Rooms sanitized between stays. I’m not gonna lie, that makes me feel a lot better. Plus, the staff are trained in safety protocols.
But let's be real, safety’s important, but what about the vibes?
Okay, so the swimming pool? Yeah, I saw that. Lovely. Swimming pool [outdoor] is available, and it looks fantastic. The Pool with view? Well, you'll have to try it and see! They also offer a bunch of ways to relax: Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom. I didn’t try everything, but I did spend a solid two hours in the sauna, and it was glorious. Just pure, unadulterated, sweat-drenched bliss. I think I almost fell asleep in there!
What about the food, though? That's where things get… interesting.
The Dining, drinking, and snacking situation? Let's just say it's got its quirks. They have Restaurants, a Bar, Poolside bar, and a Coffee shop. The Breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was a buffet. I’ve seen better, I’ve seen worse. But the Asian breakfast? My god, that was a revelation! I’m not a huge fan of Asian cuisine usually, but the flavors were truly amazing! They even had Asian cuisine in restaurant. The rest of the food wasn't bad, but it leaned a little heavily on the classic American comfort food side. The Desserts in restaurant? Okay, they were pretty good. The Happy hour was decent. I did appreciate the Coffee/tea in restaurant, especially after a long day of… relaxing.
Now, to be fair, there are multiple Restaurants, and they offer A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, I can't really complain about the lack of options.
Services and conveniences: They have all the usual suspects, like Concierge, Dry cleaning, Laundry service, and Daily housekeeping. Cash withdrawal is available, which is handy. There's a Gift/souvenir shop, because, well, gotta buy the obligatory “I survived Lewisburg!” t-shirt, right? They also have Facilities for disabled guests, which is great. I did notice the lack of Pets allowed but the rest is great.
The room situation?
Okay, here's where I got a little giddy. My room! They had Air conditioning, which is non-negotiable in the summer. Air conditioning in public area as well! Thank goodness for that. It had a Desk, Coffee/tea maker (crucial!), and a Mini bar. The Bed was ridiculously comfortable, especially after sweating out all my toxins in the sauna. There was a Seating area, a Sofa, and a Refrigerator. And the bathroom? Oh, the bathroom! They had a Separate shower/bathtub, and the water pressure was amazing. Seriously, the shower alone was worth the price of admission. And they had Slippers! Luxurious, fluffy slippers! I wore those things everywhere (okay, maybe not everywhere). The Blackout curtains? Bless them. The ability to sleep until noon and not feel guilty? Priceless. It's like they knew I was there to Unwind at the AMAZING Country Inn & Suites!
Now, here's a confession: I'm not a "spa person." I get a little awkward. But I decided to be brave and booked a massage. Best. Decision. Ever. The masseuse (I think her name was Brenda?) was a miracle worker. She kneaded all my stress and tension away. I walked out feeling like a brand new person. Seriously, if you go, GET A MASSAGE. You will thank me later.
For the kids They have Babysitting service if you want to catch some relaxation. Family/child friendly, and Kids meal so you are set!
Oh! Almost forgot! The Internet access – wireless was flawless. Didn’t drop once. And the Wi-Fi [free] throughout the whole place? Gold. Absolute gold. I was able to stream movies, send pictures, and annoy my friends with endless selfies from the Terrace.
And now…
The Verdict:
Look, this isn't the Ritz-Carlton. But it's a damn good place to relax. Lewisburg Getaway is a solid choice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable. And the spa… well, you already know.
Here's my slightly messy, highly opinionated, totally imperfect review:
- Accessibility: Big thumbs up. Easy peasy.
- Cleanliness: Felt safe and well taken care of.
- Food: Some hits, some misses. The breakfast was a bit of a letdown, but the Asian breakfast? Chef's kiss.
- Amenities: Pool. Sauna. Spa. Slippers. Need I say more? Plus all the services needed.
- Overall Vibe: Relaxed, comfortable, and a little bit quirky. Just like me!
Would I go back? Hell yes! Especially if I can book another massage. Brenda, if you’re reading this, I’ll be back for more.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're not just planning a trip to the Country Inn & Suites in Lewisburg, PA, we're going full-blown diary entry of a slightly frazzled traveler. This isn't your glossy brochure itinerary; this is the raw, unfiltered truth. Prepare for… a journey.
Day 1: Lewisburg… Here I Come (Maybe)
10:00 AM - Departure (sort of): Okay, let’s be real. My luggage situation looks like a toddler attacked a clothes rack. Seriously, I’m pretty sure I packed three different types of "just in case" rain boots. Should have packed lighter; definitely should have. Found my phone and the keys for now, fingers crossed!
11:00 AM - Road Trip Shenanigans: Traffic was a soul-crushing crawl, and I realized I forgot my favorite travel mug. Cue the mini-meltdown. After 20 minutes, I made it safely to the turnpike. Found a random CD in the car… NSYNC? Bless their hearts, I’m not ashamed to admit I sang along to "Bye Bye Bye." Don't judge.
2:30 PM - Lewisburg Approach: Finally! The rolling hills of Pennsylvania. Beautiful, actually. But I also really needed a bathroom break. And food. And maybe a hug. The GPS Lady has been screaming directions at me, and frankly, I'm starting to suspect she's enjoying my misery.
3:30 PM - Country Inn & Suites – Arrival! (Hoping for the Best): Pulling up to the hotel. It looks… welcoming. Actually, it looks exactly like the pictures, maybe a little TOO perfect. Am I being catfished by a hotel? Check-in was… efficient. The lady behind the desk had seen it all, I could tell. "Welcome, dear. You're in 212, on the second floor. Have a nice day." Okay, then. No smiles for me, I guess.
4:00 PM - Room Reconnaissance: The room is clean, blessedly clean. Sigh It's small, but it has a king-sized bed, yay! A small window looks onto the parking lot, but meh, I’m not picky. Bathroom is clean too, and the water in the shower has good pressure, which is a damn good starting point.
5:00 PM - The Great Pool Dilemma: There's a pool. It’s indoor. This is great, except I didn’t bring a swimsuit. Argh. Should I go to the pool anyway? I'll need to ponder this life-altering question. This pool! This is my personal zen moment of vacation.
6:00 PM - Dinner Fussiness: I, in my infinite wisdom, didn't research dining options. I'm starving. Maybe the hotel has a restaurant? Apparently not. So, I got myself into the car again and drove myself straight to a local eatery. I felt relieved when I saw the menu, with so many options to choose from.
7:30 PM - Return to Base - And the Bed beckons! Okay, food coma setting in. Time to watch bad TV and maybe, just maybe, attempt to unpack. Maybe. (Spoiler alert: Probably not.) Bed, here I come!
Day 2: The Lewisburg Experience (or, What I Did on My Vacation)
8:00 AM - Breakfast Blues (and Blessings): Free hot breakfast! Win! The waffle maker, oh the waffle maker. I almost burned the place down trying to make a decent waffle. Okay maybe I just got a little too enthusiastic and held the thing too long. The rest of the food was basic, standard hotel fare, but hey, free is free. I ate way too many pastries. No regrets.
- The Waffle Incident: A Deep Dive. The waffle maker became my nemesis. I’m not a morning person, so I was already flustered. The instructions seemed straightforward, but the waffle was… sad. Overcooked on one side, undercooked on the other. I tried two more, same result. I finally gave up and stared longingly at the perfectly-formed waffles of the people around me. I suspect they might secretly be waffle gods. In any case, my faith in my waffle-making abilities is currently shattered.
9:00 AM - The Quest for Coffee: The coffee at the breakfast buffet was… weak. I needed something stronger. Went on a mission for good coffee. Found a local coffee shop. The barista was charming and the coffee was strong. Crisis averted.
10:00 AM - Exploring Lewisburg… Sort Of: I set out to explore. Lewisburg is actually charming! Went to a few shops, saw some pretty buildings. I actually went to the library and found the perfect book to read. I loved it!
1:00 PM - Lunch Adventure: Found a local cafe. The food was good, but I swear I saw a squirrel trying to sneak into the restaurant. Made me think I'm being watched the whole time.
2:00 PM - The Pool! (Yes, Again!): Okay, I caved. I went to the pool. Still no swimsuit. But it was empty! Like, gloriously, wonderfully empty. Spent an hour or two just floating. Seriously, that pool was the best decision I made on this trip.
4:00 PM - The Museum Visit (Almost): There was a local museum I wanted to visit. It had a Civil War exhibit. I read about it in the library's book and was excited to learn some history, but after spending the whole day out, I just wanted to go back to the bed.
5:30 PM - Dinner and Reflections: Back to the same place for dinner, I know, I know. But it was safe and easy. And the place wasn't crowded. While there, I thought about my day in the hotel and the people I have met across these two days. I hope they were as much fun as I was.
7:00 PM - Relaxation, Again: Time for another evening, another TV show, and another good night's sleep.
Day 3: Departure (Probably Overdue)
8:00 AM - The Waffle Re-Match: I have to try to beat that waffle maker. I’ll show that machine who’s boss. (Spoiler: The machine wins.)
9:00 AM - Packing Panic: The suitcase looks like it was attacked by a hurricane. I'm pretty sure I've now packed more than I need.
10:00 AM - Check-Out (Smooth Sailing… Hopefully): The check-out was quick. No judgment. Just a friendly "Have a nice trip home!" I smiled, maybe a little too enthusiastically.
10:30 AM - The Road… Again: Leaving Lewisburg. I’m a little sad, a little relieved, and a whole lot sleepy.
1:00 PM - Random Stop: Ate at a fast food restaurant. The fries made it all better.
4:00 PM - Homing in: I survived! I drove the whole distance and I was back home! Still tired, but happy.
Post-Trip Thoughts:
Lewisburg was… good. Real good. I might even go back again one day. I learned that I should pack lighter, embrace the chaos, and maybe, just maybe, take a swimsuit next time. And for the love of all that is holy, learn how to make a waffle.

Lewisburg Getaway: Your (Possibly Messy But Definitely Fun) Guide to the Country Inn & Suites!
Okay, so, is this place actually… *amazing*? Like, the website says… amazing…
Alright, lemme tell you. "Amazing" is a loaded word, right? Like, I've seen "amazing" and thought, "Meh." But, Lewisburg? The Country Inn & Suites? Okay, it's not like, mind-blowing amazing. But it's definitely… reliably solid good. Like a good hug after a really long week. You probably won't be writing poetry about the lobby, but it does have a fireplace. A real fireplace! (And it's usually on, which is a huge win in my book.)
Honestly, I was there last… hmm… two months ago? Yeah, two months. And I went in expecting… well, let's just say my expectations were low. My husband – bless his sweet, tech-obsessed heart – booked it. Said something about “good reviews and a pool, honey!” (He also said he thought the free breakfast was "a steal." More on that later.)
So, yeah, "amazing" might be pushing it. But "comfortably pleasant, with a high likelihood of decent waffles" is pretty darn accurate. And that, my friends, is frequently enough. Especially if you’re escaping… well, *life*. (And, okay, it IS pretty darn picturesque in fall. Seriously, the leaves were gorgeous.)
What's the deal with the free breakfast? Is it the usual sad continental fare?
Okay, the breakfast… this is where things get… interesting. "Free Breakfast" is usually code for "stale pastries and lukewarm coffee, guaranteed." And yes, the Lewisburg Country Inn & Suites does indeed offer the usual suspects: bagels (slightly sad), muffins (questionably fresh), and that strange orange juice that tastes of… well, I'm not sure. Chemical orange? Anyway...
BUT! They also had waffles. Glorious, glorious waffles. Make-your-own-waffles, with a variety of toppings. And THAT, my friends, elevates the whole experience. Suddenly, I'm not just surviving a free breakfast, I'm strategizing. Should I go maple syrup and whipped cream? Or maybe… peanut butter and a dusting of powdered sugar? (Don't judge. I was on vacation.)
And honestly, the coffee wasn’t *terrible*. Drinkable, even. So, it's a mixed bag. Don't expect Michelin-star quality. But between the waffles and the generally cheerful atmosphere (lots of families, which is either a win or a… well, you know, depending on your tolerance for small children. My tolerance is… fluctuating, at best), it's a pretty good start to the day. Just, maybe grab your own decent coffee from the lobby first. (Pro tip: they have Keurig machines in the rooms! Saved my life on numerous occasions.)
Okay, so... Pool? Is the pool worth it?
The pool… this is where my messy memory comes in. Because I *think* I went for a swim. I *think*. It’s all a bit hazy in the realm of post-breakfast sugar rush and general vacation bliss. I am almost positive there was a pool, it was inside, and the kids were having a whale of a time, as always.
But the details? Um... it wasn't Olympic-sized. Let's just leave it at that. It served its purpose. The water wasn’t completely frigid. My husband and the kids spent hours in it. I think I may have read a book on the poolside, or possibly *tried* to read a book but kept getting splashed. (Kids are, you know… efficient splashers.)
Look, if you're expecting a luxury spa experience, you're in the wrong place. But if you want a place to splash around with your kids, or maybe do a few laps (again, not Olympic-sized), it’s perfect. Just remember your swimsuit... I almost forgot mine, and that would have been a disaster.
What's the location like? Is it near anything interesting?
Okay, the location is… convenient. Let's go with convenient. It’s in Lewisburg, West Virginia. And Lewisburg, bless its heart, is a charming little town. Not exactly bustling, mind you. But that’s part of the appeal, right? It’s a little escape from… everything.
The hotel isn't *right* in the heart of downtown, which is actually a plus, in my book. You're a short drive from the main square, with its cute shops and restaurants. (I *highly* recommend the pizza place. The crust was perfect.) And you're also close to some outdoor adventures. Hiking trails, the Greenbrier River… the whole shebang. My husband and the kids went hiking (I stayed back at the hotel, and read my book, and ate waffles… see above). They seemed to enjoy it. Said it was "scenic". (I'm sure it was. Mountains and trees and all that… nature stuff.)
The point is – it’s a good base camp for exploring the area. And a nice, quiet place to retreat to after a day of… well, whatever it is you do on vacation. (Mostly, for me, it involved waffle consumption and avoiding small children in the pool.)
Are there any downsides? Be honest!
Alright, alright, let's get real. Nothing's perfect. Here's the not-so-amazing side of things:
- **The Elevator:** If you're on a higher floor, be prepared for a potentially slow elevator. (Or, if you're like me, you'll just take the stairs. Good for burning off those waffle calories!)
- **The Wi-Fi:** It… worked. Mostly. It wasn't the fastest thing in the world. Prepare for some buffering if you’re planning on streaming movies. (I ended up just reading my book… win/win?)
- **Bathroom Size:** The bathrooms are functional, clean, but not exactly sprawling. Fine for one person, but if you're sharing… well, let's just say you might want to develop some serious spatial awareness skills. And maybe a good sense of humor.
- **The Lack of Nightlife:** Lewisburg isn't exactly known for its hopping nightclubs. If you're looking for a wild party scene, this ain't it. But personally? I was perfectly happy with a quiet evening in, with a good book (and maybe a leftover waffle).
Honestly, these aren't dealbreakers. But it's good to know what you’re getting into. This is not the Ritz-Carlton. It’s comfortable, convenient, and generally pleasant. And hey, at the end of the day, you're on vacation. What more can you really ask for?
