This place is really dirty and old. The shower was so filthy that I went to buy slippers. I was affraid to touch anything, disgusting. The tildes in the shower were also coming loose, so perfect for bacteria... There was à disgusting old floor carpet, old and not fresh. Staff was all but helpfull. More

We waited at the front desk for someone to wait on us for what seemed like a few minutes when we knew personnel were in the adjoining room behind desk. Seems the front desk clerk was eating and didn't realize we were waiting! When we walked into our room I found ketschup on the walls, dirt on the sink top... More

My wife and I had stopped there for lunch 2 years ago and were so impressed with the facility we routed our trip to spend a night at the Shippen Place in July 2011. Suite was $99. Accomodations were great. The food in the hotel dining room (The University Grill) were excellent. The best onion soup I have ever had.... More

Found the room to be larger and more comfortable than at the Shippensburg Best Western. Hotel and Restaurant staff were awesome. Location couldn't have been better for Family Weekend at Ship, we walked around town and were close to campus. Food and beverages in the restaurant and Tavern were delicious and reasonably priced. We also liked the quaint decor, it... More

If you are looking for a hotel to stay at while you are getting drunk with your fraternity buddies this would be the place. However if you visiting with your family be prepared to wake up in the middle of the night after all the drunks come home. Beds suck! Foods good, location is great, rooms where clean. Not a... More

I traveled there for work. Overall, it is average. Staff is friendly. Rooms could use an update. Avoid rooms with adjoining door or maybe it doesn't matter. I had a bad neighbor. Noisy even past 1am. Calling down to the front desk didn't help. This was 2 nights in a row. Not sure the BestWestern is much better. More

I have had many opportunities to visit Shippensburg, PA and have stayed only at the Shippen Place Hotel. That's why I was a very surprised to read the review about the possibility of bed bugs. So, before making my next trip, I took it upon myself to personally speak to the general manager of the facility. He was very kind... More
