My husband and I have been going for the past few months to lancaster checking out homes in the area to buy. Every weekend it was a go on line and a book a weekend hotel or motel. Well after looking on the internet and every week driving by place after place it seemed each hotel got worse, one weekend we got a shower that didnt work, the next week air conditioning that was broken, the following week beds and bugs. Each hotel looked nice from the outside. Finally another weekend and we decide ok to try again for a nice weekend when we arrive not knowing it was Bike Week/Harley Davidson week in Lancaster, all the hotels posted vacancy's.....I mean we rode for miles outside to where the cows only graze....not finding a place to stay we decided to head out to the interstate we saw the Scottish Inns. My husband and I both saw this place many times before but we never heard of them, so they had a vacancy. It was a little Pricey at $99 a night but when we got to our room it was in the back of the hotel where it overlooked the amish country. I feel in love with my husband all over. The smell of the country clean air, it was romantic to sit on the front porch where a bench for two sat and the room....oh my....brand new...new curtains, furniture, refrigerator, a bathroom ...so clean just like my own home and the most comfortable beds...we both sank into a wonderful relaxing sleep. It made it hard to want to get up. We watched in the morning the amish family getting there cattle and the kids running for church. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. I have stayed there and was most impressed by the owners. They were most helpful in making sure our stay was wonderful. Again....HATS OFF TO YOU!!!! Tracy and Jayme Cook

Stayed here this past weekend - normally we would stay at a more upscale hotel but we were there for a funeral not as a vacation so needing only somewhere to sleep overnight we tried the Scottish Inn. The manager is pleasant - the room is adequate but not worth the $80 plus tax (AAA rate) that we paid. Imagine yourself trying to get a good nights sleep if your bed were placed alongside a raceway. Get the picture? Sleeping is next to impossible as you are only a short distance from Rt. 30 where trucks barrel down the highway all night long. And we paid $80 for this!!! If I had booked a motel for $40 I would take responsibility and say that you get what you pay for but $80 is not chump change. During our stay, the guest above us were really loud - we didn't call the manager until around 10:30pm - he said he would talk to them. Well, of course, after he did, the noise got louder. He never once called us back to see if the problem was solved. Upon checkout, my husband related the problem and we found out that a family had rented two rooms - the kids in one room directly above us and the parents in another room. Hence the problem. This could happen anywhere but I know the better hotels/motels resolve these issues very quickly. We would never stay there again and it has turned us off to ever staying at any Scottish Inn or their affiliates.

I have been working in Lancaster for the past few months and after a few weeks of driving 60 odd miles each way every day decided to stay in a hotel some nights during the week. I have to pay out of my own pocket so wanted something habitable and not too expensive. I was staying in the Econo Lodge North for $41 a night but two weeks ago they upped their prices to $62 a night (AAA) which just wasn't worth it for a rundown hotel. I tried the Super 8 for one week, never again and then stumbled upon the Country View Inn (Scottish Inns) in Ronks. My wife and I stayed there on Sunday night (July 3rd) and it was the nicest place I have stayed in, in Lancaster, by far. The rooms are not large but are perfectly adequate. Our's had two queen beds, a fridge (which they don't mention on their website), a 27 inch TV with around 80 channels and a table and chairs. The bathroom was immaculate with an excellent shower. All rooms are non-smoking but they have benches outside on the porch where you can smoke if you wish - the rooms are drive-up style. There is no breakfast offered but you can get coffee. The hotel's location is on Route 30 but further East of the outlets section. It is surrounded by countryside - Amish farms and there is an excellent diner just a half-mile West of the hotel if you want to eat cheap but good. About a half mile East is Miller's Smorgesboard if you really want to fill your boots.

Oh, room cost was $64.99 a night. Not the cheapest but for what you get it is excellent value for money. I have cancelled my hotel bookings for this week and booked the Country View Inn instead. Thoroughly recommended.
