I know that I've only rated this motel as "average', but where it is situated, the friendliness of the staff and the general "feel" to the place, were all excellent. This is a tired motel; it has seen better days. However, it ticked all our boxes. It was at the top end of the main street through the town of Gettysburg, which allowed us a rare event in America: walking from the hotel into town. It was also right on two of the main parts of the famous battle: the town itself and Cemetery Hill, as well as being a short drive away from the Battlefield Visitors Centre.

As our three week holiday was visiting Civil War battlefields, Gettysburg is a must. When we first came here 16 years ago, you simply drove onto the battlefield and muddled your way round; now you travel around the whole battlefield site with an audio tour guide CD. These are expensive, but our host at the motel gave us his for free. We bought him a 6 pack of beer as a thank you and he was genuinely surprised and thanked us greatly. I find such acts of generosity really touching and uplifting.

The room was fine, replete with bath, shower, fridge, comfortable bed and plenty of room. It was also great to be able to park right outside of the room, as they are all on the ground floor. Admittedly, the breakfast was orange juice, coffee and a pastry, but we didn't mind, because we didn't expect any more. The price, given the location was very reasonable at $75 for the Saturday night and $55 for the Sunday.

So, if you're visiting Gettysburg, don't be put off by this quaint motel. We loved it.

The rooms were clean, the pool was great. The hotel couldn't have been in a better location. It is within walking distance of restaurants, historic sites (directly across the street from where Lincoln gave the Gettysburg address!). We only drove twice in the 5 days we were there. And the owners were so good to us, they know where everything is. Great vacation!

While the staff was very pleasant and the location good the room was the worst I have ever stayed in. It was dirty, the towels actually had holes in them. The sink and shower wouldn't drain. The refrigerator did not work and the a/c was very loud. The inside front door was filthy.

If you are looking for basic accomodations, that are clean....This is the place, While the rooms are outdated, the staff with their very friendly & pleasant attitudes AND the location, make up for any shortcomings. From the owner, front desk staff to the housekeeping staff, everyone is very polite and helpful. The rooms are standard basic motel rooms, circa 1974, but they are kept clean and in good repair. Very, Very fair prices for Gettysburg. The location is Phenomenal - that combined with the helpful staff and reasonable prices make this a true GEM of a motel. Overall Rating ~ Very Good !
