“Just OK - but close to Ski Liberty!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

This place is not bad, just not great. It was not far from town and Ski Liberty so that made it a good buy at the low rate.

First problem:
We booked our room well in advance (September) for a February stay in a King/Poolside room but were bumped by a large group. The manager offered to call other hotels to get us a King (only doubles available in the other section with no pool) in a hotel with an indoor pool. They were able to get us a room for the same rate at Comfort Suites, which turned out very nice, but I was still a little upset at not getting the poolside room I’d booked early. We decided to stay at the resort anyway but appreciated that they went through the trouble to get us a partial suite at the other place for the same rate.

But after that:
We enjoyed our stay. It is not really a resort in the traditional sense (more like an old hotel with two sections). All the previous reviews about the rooms looking outdated are correct. Nothing to write home about but ours was clean and the microwave/refrigerator seemed new.

The Pool:
The pool is interesting! I’ve never seen one like it. It goes from 2 feet to a quick drop to 5 feet 8! There is a steep slope in the middle – no in between. But it was nice and warm. The Jacuzzi is closed, however, which was a huge disappointment. And the bar by the pool was never open. There was a deli-type shop next to the pool area, however, so it was OK. I wish they had lounge chairs by the pool so I could have lain out there and read my book. There are tables nearby, however. The other thing is - since we were in section 2 (Eisenhower II), we had to walk a long, cold way to get to the pool. There were very drafty areas at different points throughout the hotel so make sure you put on your dry clothes to go back to your room.

All and all it wasn’t a bad trip. I might opt to stay at a nicer hotel next time, though. Or if I do stay there again, it has to be poolside.

Room Tip: If you can get poolside, might be nicer!

“Do not stay during the off season”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

people found this review helpful

Stayed here here 21 - 22 Dec 2011, All amenities were NOT available. Pool and Sauna were being re-tiled, restaurant was not open, Wi-Fi for rooms was not available, and there was not hot water for the building we stayed in.

Perhaps this establishment is fine kept up during the spring and summer months, but expect no service during winter. I would not waste the money on a stay here again even during the summer.

“Beautiful scenery, clean room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

person found this review helpful

The Eisenhower is located on a peaceful, serene area of land. Just a few minute drive to battlefields and the quaint downtown Gettysburg. The hotel itself is older and outdated. Our room was clean and fine for just our overnight stay. The staff was friendly and helpful.

“Not Bad - And Almost Always Available”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

Gettysburg is a big tourist attraction and, as such, it can sometimes be difficult to find a hotel that is not overpriced and decent. The Eisenhower is a huge conference center/hotel on Steinwehr Avenue and it almost always has vacancies. And it's close to the National Park. Its upkeep at times leaves something to be desired, but we've stayed there often and have normally been very happy with it.

“Nice rooms, but where's the bartender?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel for our anniversary. The rooms were nice, nothing spectacular, but very clean and fairly comfortable. But I was all excited to go down to the pool and have a drink. There was a really cool pool area with pool, hot tub & a tiki bar. But the tiki bar was never open the 2 days that we were there--no bartender in sight. Also, the cafe/restaurant never had anything that you wanted to order. I would stay there again, but definately wouldn't go to the cafe unless you just want a drink or snack!

Room Tip: There are some rooms that have a balcony that overlook the pool area and are pretty neat, the other...

Thank you for staying with us and congratulations on your anniversary. Our main hotel bar is in the hallway that leads from our lobby to our restaurant. The Tiki bar you saw in the pool area is only used for private events. We're sorry that you didn't have a chance to enjoy our regular bar.
