“Excellent for a few specific reasons”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

We just spent two nights (Sun thru Tues) at the Wyndham in Gettysburg, a great deal from Hotwire.

In the Wyndham style, it is quite elegant from the exquisitely appointed lobby (including a black baby grand piano, wingback leather chairs, fine sofa settees and an internet alcove -- to the in-house restaurant with white cloth service -- 1863 House -- whose menu is lovely and, yes, pricey (hey, you are not going to get rack of lamb and filet mignon under $20 anywhere). We were eating cheap this weekend so did not try the fare nor at breakfast, but Yelp reviews give it high stars. The tavern is also exquisitely appointed with a grand wood-carved bar and lounge area.

The hotel has a "presidential" theme overall: there is an authentic cannon used in a Civil War battle off the lobby; and the carpets are all stars and stripes and presidential seals keeping with the Gettysburg theme. They fairly display portraits of both the Union and Confederate leaders (Lincoln and Davis) as well as other interesting artwork of other presidents. USA Today and the Wallstreet Journal are complimentary daily, and there is an ATM machine. The gift shop was closed until Thursday (winter hours).

The room was small but also well-appointed. I love the red and wheat colored theme of the rooms (strangely and am just realizing this as I write, it represents the blood in the fields of the Battle of Gettysburg -- this is not meant to sound creepy, it is classically done). I agree with previous posters that the elevator chime is obnoxious with this recorded "Yoo Hoo" sound. Thankfully we were not put near them.

We inquired about a room with a jacuzzi tub, there are none but there is a great pool and hottub. There is also no refrigerator in the room. I have to say, the bathroom shower design is nonsensical with the half-door shower. Don't they realize that the splashing water out of the open end is degrading the bathroom door? The right lower edge of the door and the hinge are swelling and chipping from the moisture and of course the floor gets soaked. The tempered glass shower wall is probably dangerous as it does wobble and could break with an unlucky person who may slip and fall into it. The King bed was luxurious, soft like a cloud. Not a single sign of bedbug activity.
We also had good Wi-Fi reception for our I-phones if needed but there is a laptop connector.

The reasons I chose to rate it Excellent, albeit we were there in the dead of winter -- a great time to explore the battlefields without crowds, but it was mighty cold the first day -- and were maybe one of perhaps 6 rooms occupied in the entire hotel (it was very quiet -- "Come play with us Danny"):
-- the rooms and bathroom are completely and utterly clean.
-- the windows open.
-- the TV had excellent reception and a full band of channels.
-- extra pillows without having to ask, and an extra blanket in the closet.
-- the guest laundry is complimentary, -- detergent ($0.75)
-- the front desk was top-notch accommodating.
-- the gym is open 24 hours (nicely equipped with treadmills, stairsteppers, free weights and a TV)
-- My big one: the POOL and hottub are OPEN UNTIL 11pm !!!

This is a big plus for me who usually looks for a pool/ hottub at a hotel but they always close too early. The only thing I loathe about pools and hot tubs at hotels are the kids -- there should be a cut off time. When we excitedly went to the pool, at around 9pm, just my luck (despite the hotel being relatively unbooked), there they were: two screaming kids jumping from the pool to the hottub, their parents aloof as usual. Sigh.
So we had to wait until they left to enjoy the hottub but it is large and relaxing. NOTE: The pool area is very slippery, the water is not heated to the point of a warm bath, but it is manageable. They also have a handicap lift for in and out of the pool -- a very nice accommodation for those who may need it.
We had extra towels deliverd promptly to the room when we called for them.
Being winter the other restaurants in the complex (Gribaldis -- which is for special events only anyway-- and the Old Eagle) were not operating, but we had no problem driving into town. (We ate in town at GarryOwens Pub, Tommies Pizza, La Bella and the old Lincoln Diner -- separate reviews)
The movie theater (multiplex with I believe 8 screens) is also just across the parking lot.

Will definitely stay at Wyndham again when going back to Gettysburg.

“Disappointing...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Disappointing...restaurants out front were closed so only in hotel restaurant nearby. Tray full of dirty dishes in front of our room when we checked in...after roll away was delivered, they didn't bother to take away the tray, requiring another call to the front desk...room smelled like cigarettes although it was a non smoking room..."Deluxe Suite" lacked a fridge or microwave, lots of wasted space in the room. Conveniently located to downtown and skiing at Liberty Mountain. Deserted this time of year...we had most of the hotel to ourselves. Nice pool and gym facilities.

“Good Hotel for Gettysburg, But Away from Town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

My son went to Gettysburg College, so I've had the opportunity to say at a number of the hotels in the area. They Wyndham is a newer hotel, and fairly large in a complex with a Marriott Courtyard and a theater of Rte 15. The rooms are nice, beds just ok (not bad but not great), smaller tv but a good number of channels. They're very nice at the front desk and check-in was not a problem. I haven't noticed any highway noise from 15.
The hotel is a short drive (2-3 miles) from downtown Gettysburg and the college, so not much is within walking distance. The trade-off is that the hotels closer to town are older and generally not as nice. (There is one historic hotel on the Circle which is suppose to be very nice and right in the center of town, but I've not stayed there.)
The Wyndham is one of the hotels that I've gotten by bidding on Priceliine, but note that during tourist season (summer) and when freshmen are moving onto campus this is a hard hotel to get.

Clean, very nice, and friendly staff. The lobby is beautiful and they are pet friendly. Overall, I would stay at the Gettysburg Wyndham anytime I'm in Gettysburg.

Staff and quick, pleasant, and eager to please. Rooms were very clean, fairly spacious, and well maintained. Very quiet. Bathroom small for a family of four, but it was manageable. We will come back and stay here again!
