Nice little old-school motel right in the heart of Gettysburg. Room was clean. Staff was very friendly and attentive. We’ll stay there again.

Vintage Motel in Prime Historic Location

Good points: room recently refurbished with new carpet and paint. New mattress was just right. Great ice machine! Outside currently being repainted. Curtains need to be replaced; needs a few more clothes hooks in the bathroom, and also a small table or fold-up luggage rack. But as a budget-priced motel in a prime location, it served my purpose. I do wish people would not smoke or gather outside of rooms...needs a designated outdoor smoke area. They are preparing the pool for the season. A microwave in the room would be great. Delightful staff.

Vintage Motel Provides Value and Comfort

My first time at this property, chosen for location and economy. Exteriorbwas very nice for this "vintage motel." Mattress was perfect for me...firm! Room was spacious and quiet. Parking surpasses its "sister property" so it's likely I'll stay there again. A good coat of paint and overall room refresh would be good. Also, a microwave would make it perfect!

Deplorable conditions, stay away

This establishment needs to be closed down for the deplorable conditions of the room. No smoke detector. No mattress protector , there were dead bugs on the bathroom and on the shower curtsin. Filth on the baseboards, they drilled holes for cable wiring, couldn't taje the time to vacuum up sawdust. Speaking of dust, there was so much dust on the tv stand, i wrote "dust me" on stand. If you hsve mobility issues, be awzre that theres a large step to get i to the room. I have said issues and i was afraid i would trip and fall gettin into the room multiply times. I didnt stay my second night, i took the hot and found another motel to stay at. I felt as though i was sleeping in a garden shed for all the filth and dead bugs in the room.

DO NOT STAY HERE!

This was by far the WORST hotel! It was dirty and smelly. It probably hasn’t been cleaned in years. Dead bugs and cobwebs everywhere. The mattress was disgusting and stained.
