I recently stayed at ABVI in Gettysburg, PA. The staff was nice and I kind of like the set-up of the suite however, I had much difficulty falling asleep. The visit was during the Thanksgiving weekend and guests were few however, the few that were there were coming and going late at night and for some strange reason everyone thought that the only way to close their door was to slam it shut. The walls are paper thin and every time someone slammed the door it sounded as though it was my door! Additionally, we could hear every word of the people in the rooms on either side of us, even though they were not speaking loudly. There was one guy who was on his cell phone until shortly after 1:00 on top of his voice one night. Every morning there was a dog barking in the early A.M. On top of that, a woman in one of the adjoining room came out shortly after 7:00 every morning at the back door to talk on her cell phone – in what seemed to be her loudest voice every time. Again, every word was heard through the paper thin walls. While this is not 5-star accommodation, it would be good to be able to rest without being rudely woken up by slamming doors or people speaking loudly – that is the main reason for people seeking accommodation – rest/recharge and take a shower for the next adventure. While the employees were sweet and the rooms O.K. for the price, I would not stay at this location again. I can just imagine that it must be hell during the spring/summer months when more guests are present.

I am sorry to hear you had a lot of noisy neighbors. Our interior walls are made of concrete block and not 2x4’s and drywall like a lot of newer - cheaper construction. I wish you would have said something while you were here so we could have known what room to do some investigating.
Thank you,
