The hotel is pet friendly, at a good location and has an excellent restaurant. It is undergoing renovation so the check in coubter is currently in a converted hotel room on the other side of hotel which is less convenient.

Hotel is dated, but it is charming. Could use some general upkeep. My GPS took me to the back parking lot, and the lobby is on the 2nd floor so check-in was a bit of a maze. Front desk staff was super friendly and helpful! He even gave me a map that showed parking, the floors, and the restaurant lay out. Bed was comfortable. AC was cold but was loud and rattled throughout the night. Overall the hotel was very quiet even with a restaurant and theatre next to it. Convenient location for everything in the area. Hotel gym was lacking. One weight machine was broke. No free weights and the cardio equipment looked at least a decade or two old.

I thought the property was looking tired and dated. The rooms were decently clean but I found the rest of the hotel to be dirty and unkempt. It was very full and perhaps the staff was overwhelmed, but do they not notice the caked dust on all of the of the guest room doors? I would not stay here again.

Rooms are old and though clean just in need of updating. My kids and I both woke up in the morning with sore throats. My.son who has dust allergies coughed all night from the dusty old carpet. The bathroom drop ceilings you could see dust and dirt in the seams of the pannels. And when booking the site said nothing about the $16.00 a head breakfast charge for what looked no different than your average hotel free continental breakfast. The rooms are small, bathroom is very small. You'll have your shoulder in the shower curtain sitting on the toilet. I've stayed in much nicer for less money.

Overall the place had a lot of potential and the breakfast was great. The main issue was the strong smell of pet urine in our room. We requested a room that did not have a pet recently but were told all rooms were the same. We noticed the urine when we first entered but had to leave quickly for a dinner reservation. My wife did not sleep all night. The next morning we spoke with the housekeeping manager and she said she did not notice the smell and said there was nothing she could do and made no effort to try to assist us. We spoke to another manager and were told only the owner could provide any assistance. We tried contacting the owner a couple of times with no response back. Maybe the cleaning staff is immune to urine smell but it was very intense. Cleanliness is most important but so is customer service. On both these I must give the lowest scores. If they did not fail on both I would not be writing this. I knew it was an older hotel but it scored well on cleanliness. It was our anniversary so that really did not help the situation. Most pet friendly hotels have several rooms that do not allow pets unless in an emergency. I hoped that would be the case. Had it not been so late and if decent customer service was provided it may have been better.

It needs to be updated. The room we had was small. The bathroom was really small. The internet service needs to be replaced or updated. The bed and pillows weren't comfortable. The women who ran breakfast were very nice. The food I had was good. We only stayed one night to see the show at Dutch Apple theater. That is the only thing that we liked was tthat it was convenient to the theater and parking was free.

This is a great place to stay when visiting Lancaster County. My stay was 3 nights (Fri/Sat/Sun) and it was very quiet each night, I didn't hear any noise at all except about 9 AM each morning. The beds was confortable and the room was very clean. Loxley’s Restaurant is excellent- I ate there each day, delicious food ! Our reunion was accomodated in a private room, which was perfect size and much appreciated! The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful and Housekeeping staff was also very pleasant. This is a great location to see Lancaster. We saw 5 covered bridges, several Amish horse and buggies on the rural roads and much more. Most of our reunion attendees are from Lancaster County and it was a wonderful trip, great to see Lancaster again !

This hotel has a small town run by family feel to it. It's not the most up to date. Our hotel room had that old hotel musty smell to it when we first checked in, but that quickly went away. Our tv was small, but had chromecast. So that was nice. The best part of the hotel is the friendly staff. The front desk staff was friendly and personable. Every time I spoke with the front desk with a question or a request I was met with a friendly smile and helpful staff. I'd definitely stay here again. The attached restaurant has delicious food.

Stay here if you want to be treated poorly by the staff if you have an issue. Ours was that our Wi-Fi didn’t work for our entire stay and the staff did nothing to address it expect tell us to call THEIR maintenance man. And then when we checked out we asked for a partial refund and they refused even though they acknowledged we that we didn’t receive access to all our promised amenities. Horrible people, horrible hotel.

I stayed here for just one night, during a VB tournament. It is only 12 mins away from Spooky Nook Sports Complex, it has a restaurant with buffet-style breakfast (not included, but discounted for the hotel guests), walking distance to Giant supermarket, Dunkin and a pizza place (or a 3-min drive), which was perfect. The staff was friendly, the room was clean, and the bed comfy. We’ve had a very nice stay and fitted our needs.
