What guests think

Budget Host Three Crowns Motor Lodge draws repeat budget travelers for its central, walkable Gettysburg location and low rates, while reviews repeatedly note dated rooms and uneven upkeep, with service that ranges from warm and helpful to inconsistent.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with recurring reports of dirty floors, stained or worn linens, odors, and occasional pests, alongside some mentions of clean, tidy rooms. Facilities are basic: parking at the door, a seasonal outdoor pool, pet-friendly policies with fees, and few in-room extras; Wi‑Fi reliability varies. Best for travelers prioritizing price over polish and amenities.

Very good access to town and shops,close to all battlefields and monuments,the hotel is in need of upgrades , you step back in time to the late 70’s at this place , but it accommodates pets at a cost of $30.00 per day , and is in a great location,

Good value. No frills motel. Wifi works great. Bathrooms need updating and towels are low end. That said if you frequent Gettysburg and don't want to pay $100/night, it's a good.deal.

Ideal location. Great rates. Nice staff. What I didn't like: The cable TV didn't work (No big deal) The Wi-Fi was problematic my entire 2 week stay. While not a deal breaker this caused me inconvenience and additional expense.

The air conditioning worked very well. One mattress was firm and the other was softer. Unbearable heat for bike week and the outdoor pool helped to cool off when we needed it. TV had many channels however please invest in brackets to hang on wall. Pillows were flat as pancakes. Exhaust fan did not work in bathroom very humid. Furniture needs updating. Please buy chairs or benches for outside rooms and pool area. No where to sit outside of room. Please buy cover for light above sink a safety concern. The staff were very pleasant.

The motel is well past its expiration date. Old furnishings from the 1960s, poor lightning, the bathroom was filthy (see photos) and smelled moldy. The mattress was awful, it sagged as i sat on it, and had a terrible night's sleep. I brought flat sheets from home and used one as a fitted sheet and a top sheet. The employee at the office during check in was not friendly in the least. There are long term residents that live there, and i really didn't want to go to my car for something I forgot, the place has a slum feeling to it. The motel could be a uniquely retro property, but the long term residents would need to go elsewhere, and every single room would need to be taken to the studs and be brought up to 22st century standards.

I decided to book this hotel after seeing the rating as “Good” I should have read the reviews. We booked for two nights but decided to move on after the first night. I will say it is in a great location….. that is the good. The bad… it is not clean. The bottom of the toilet was horrible and looked like it had not been cleaned in a long time (No excuse for it to look like it looked) The room needs a good deep clean for sure. We asked for extra towels and they never came. The next time we visit we will be sure to spend the extra $50-100 to ensure our room is at least clean. I took pictures of the toilet and will attach if can. If you absolutely have to stay here I would bring cleaners and throw away rags and give it a wipe down.

Our room was filthy. Our feet or socks got dirty just walking from the shower to the bed area. There was dog hair on everything. Visible dirt on the plastic covering the lamp shades. Pieces of broken glass in a couple of spots. Stains on the sheets and towels. Although the room is nonsmoking, there are ashtrays outside of every room that have not been emptied. The only good thing about this motel is the location. It was an easy walk to several restaurants, shops and tourist attractions.

The sheets were stretched out and wouldn’t remain in bed. It was gross sleeping on the mattress like that. There were stains and yuck. The floors were also dirty. My partner wore his socks around and they were brown after a few minutes. The place needs a deep clean. But love the location.

This property has a great location but the upkeep of the property is lacking over the years. We have stayed there many times before. It is an older motel, but a little maintenance could go a long way. Our room was very dirty- one bed the sheets were not changed between guests, dirty and full of hair. The floors were not cleaned and the shower drain was clogged, and the room smelled like smoke. The people were nice, but the place was very disappointing. It used to be a great place to stay, but we probable will not stay again

There are several decent small motels in Gettysburg, unfortunately this was not one of them. We stayed here a few years ago and it wasn’t too bad. This time I we got a pretty crappy room. The mattress was old 10 years ago. There was no pad on the mattress, only a thin sheet. Mattress was also stained. (See pics) Bathroom was old and nasty. Tub was slippery, dangerous and didn’t drain. Will not be back here ever. Better bets are the Colton motel, Best Western or Quality Inn all on the same road.

Check in was super easy and fast with a good price, the room was okay, mattress covered in cheap plastic and sheets slipped off easily when tossing and turn on very firm mattress. None of the outlets would charge our devices but other than that average for an older property. Had a VERY UNCOMFORTABLE interaction at the pool with what I'm guessing is a long term stay guest, lady came up to pool gate on video call and showed my teenage daughter and myself in the pool and said about the color of our swimsuits, weirdest part she wanted for my husband to go back into our room to get something, we got out and felt very unsafe at the pool area.Sadly the outstanding reviews and recommendations, we won't be staying here again on our next trip.

For the price I paid, I would not stay here again. The room was in need of a major upgrade. Upon arrival, I left the door open for about 15 minutes to air out the smell of cleaner. It still smelled for about 24 hours after. Furniture was sticky, stains all over walls and dust everywhere. Remote did not work the flat screen tv and it took about an hour to figure out how to turn the tv off. The mattresses were covered in plastic, which could be seen as a blessing and a curse at the same time. We were in room 130, which is near the street so we heard traffic all night long, in addition to our noisy neighbor who passed out over the steering wheel of his running car the first night we were there. We were told by the front desk staff that this is normal. He stays there all the time. I expected a lot more for what I paid for the room. I would not pay more that $100 a night for a room like this, even on a busy weekend.

Basic 1950's room. Not handicapped accessible, but a single wooden ramp got me in the room with my scooter. Plus side, the place was built before they put heavy restrictions on lodgings, so it's right in the middle of the old part of town. Walkable to many of the museums, and right across from the Cemetary.

Have stayed there several times in the past and where very satisfied. Always clean and comfortable. This time checked in and left for an off-site event. One thirty AM, exhausted came back to get some rest. Nice comfy King size bed. My wife and I immediately fell into a hole in the middle of the bed. Fitted sheet kept flying off the mattress. No matter which edge you tried to hang on yo ended up in the hole in the middle of the bed after two nights of rolling into the void our stay was over. On checkout the desk person's response was, the owner is aware, he's getting a new frame, that one is broken. Said it promoted snuggling. There were plenty of vacant rooms. If they knew that the bed was broken they shouldn't have booked it. Very disappointed probably our last stay there

First time at this property was in 1976. Still has that feeling, the deck around the pool is still the same, though no one uses it, it's there. We had enough soaps, towels, and tp for our 6 night stay using 2 adjoining rooms. The mattresses were fairly new but were wrapped in plastic. This made the bed very hot and the bedding constantly was coming off besides hearing every turn one made during the night. Though the floors look newer, my husbands socks were very black. Even a swiffer might do wonders. The parking lot has been recently paved, the grounds were clean, but no frills. It's a bit run down over all but the location is super convenient. I think there are folks living in the rooms, though we never felt unsafe there was a lingering odor of stale smoke and even of weed, the smell permeating the air. I really wouldn't say there's a continental breakfast either.We stayed here more out of nostalgia, but might move elsewhere the next trip.

Customer service was poor- the attendant at the front desk took a personal call AND took a call from their boss while checking us in and was yelling at both people because they “didn’t feel good”. Cleanliness was okay- clean towels and blankets, but the shower walls had dirt grime on them and there was small black facial or pubic hair in the tub. There were facial hair trimmings around the sink. Thankfully we didn’t need to use the air conditioner, but it appeared to have visible black mildew in it. Beds were comfortable, room only had about 3 available outlets, water pressure was poor, and the door locks were very hard to unlock with the key (not card… good ol’ key). Good location though, in the heart of Gettysburg. Will likely not be staying here again.

Terrible experience. I reserved a room with two beds. Was given a room with one bed by person at desk. When I told clerk I reserved room with two beds, was told that's what the manager gave me and he can do whatever he wants. They said no other rooms were available. Luckily, a girl waiting in the slow moving line agreed to swap rooms with me. Will never, ever go back and will tell all members of the organization to which I belong to avoid at all costs.

Its always a pleasure to see Harlin too!

I arrived after the office had closed to find a note on the door telling me which was my room & where I'd find the key, simply asking that I dealt with the checking-in formalities in the morning, before I left. I was very grateful - & quite impressed. The Manager told me that's how they do things there. Only criticism was, as is so often the case in America, "breakfast" meant coffee. Still hope to return some time.

I stayed at this property when I was 10. It was cute then, but now as I am older this property has lost its cuteness! No in room amenities except for a fridge, coffee only available in the office area during breakfast, large empty Folgers coffee cans outside each room for cigarette butts! Office manager called me en route to inquire what time I would be arriving! I guessed at 5pm and asked if there was an issue. He said no, that he wanted to make sure someone was in the office when we arrived! Really? Check in after 2pm so I’d expect someone there. Never had that in all my years of booking a hotel! He also made no mention of breakfast, which was coffee and Hostess danishes! No mention of driving off the property which is tricky, no mention of anything! As much as we love Gettysburg, we will not stay there again! My kudos to Chuck the housekeeper, who was not only friendly and caring about our stay, but because of a hot water issue, came to work on his day off! Thanks Chuck, you were the bright spot in our stay!
