Last place I would stay in the area for sure.

It’s a last place stay at best, and the ratings must be fake. Only stayed because it was 1 night, but actually thought about sleeping in my van…would have been better on my back. Other rooms look to be long time stayers and that was not expected.

We always stay at the Colton when we go to Gettysburg. The place is always clean, service is great, and the staff is so nice. The location is also great- just far enough removed from the nightlife part of town, but still a quick walk away from it and the battlefield! We cant wait to see y'all again next year!

The Colton is a low end, low cost motel in Gettysburg, but it is quiet and comfortable. I stay here primarily because of the location.

The smell of skunk weed was overwhelming but after turning the air on and opening the door, the smell was less terrible. The door had clearly been kicked in at some point. The furniture, microwave, and fridge all has a ton of wear but for what it was, it was fine. We brought our own coffee pot, blow dryer, blankets, and towels. I suggest you do the same.

Upon arrival there was a police raid happening in the room right next to us. The police officer said they frequent this motel. There are some that actually live at the motel. My child was terrified and we tried to get a refund since we literally checked in 5 min prior. The owner gave us a terrible time about it, then after the police officer walked into the office while I was on the phone with him he reluctantly agreed. He wanted to charge me a $25 fee. I fought that and got my money back and left immediately! Also, the room was dingy and smelled. There was a dirty ac unit in the window. The woman at the front desk was nice though.

The staff was very friendly and efficient with a quick and easy check-in. I have read many of the reviews. For the people complaining, I am uncertain what guests were expecting for such a reasonable rate right in the middle of the historical area. The accommodations were nice with a comfortable bed, nice shower, working refrigerator, simple breakfast, and nice TV. The pool was relaxing and the area was quiet enough for a good night's rest. We were able to take a nice walk to get into the center of town to enjoy history, food, and shopping. For a family on a budget, this place worked out just fine.
