close to all attractions but off busy highway, clean typical motel room, large indoor pool and great hot tub. Our rate included breakfast which was definitely a few steps up from typical fare. We were 2 couple in fall season so didn't use outdoor facilities, but seemed to have lots of amenities for a family visit. would recommend and would go back again

The Bird In Hand Family Inn really is the place for a family. One outdoor pool and two, yes that's two, indoor pools. They have the biggest hot tub I've ever seen. Totally refreshing after a long drive. There's a nice large playground too. The rooms are very nice with a small refrigerator.
The only thing that's strange are the way they number the rooms. Because it's built on a hill, when you enter you're on the middle floor (#3). They only have 3 floors, but the bottom floor is #2 and the top floor is #4. I don't know why they're numbered like that. kinda weird.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.

yes, we know we can find cheaper accomodations, but there is something about this peaceful place that keeps us coming back. the staff is always welcoming, the rooms are spotless, their restaurant is always reliably good. there are 2 sections to this hotel: the original "motel" which looks like a typical old-fashioned motel from the outside - it has the older rooms, you park in your space in front of your room - it's totally fine. it's got the bird in hand market on one side and the restaurant on the other (bakery across the street). the "newer motel", which is a 3-story motel/hotel, is in the rear and that's where the indoor and outdoor pools reside, the mini-golf, etc. the newer hotel is slightly more expensive not just because of the newer rooms, but also because it has a few sitting areas w/tables where you can play cards, sit w/a group of friends, etc. both areas are fine for what they are. it's a modest hotel, nothing upscale here, but it's clean, well serviced, and reliable. it's a great location if you're trying to avoid the busy shopping and tourist areas. one negative: i bring my own pillow because they have rubbery polyester pillows that i have trouble getting comfortable with.

This is a nice place to stay with plenty of attractions right there or within a short drive. They have both an indoor heated pool and an outdoor pool. They also have a very good restaurant and a min-golf course. The room s are fine and very clean. the whole place is extremely well-maintained. It is owned and operated by member of the Smucker family (of Smuckers jams and such.
