“Wonderful boutique hotel”

Wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of it all. We stayed in the John Burnes suite. Room was huge, which made for a relaxing evening when out all day. Coffee and complimentary breakfast snacks in the morning was a nice added touch. We did not hear street noise, as this suite is in the back of the building. Elevator straight to the fourth floor was good. We wanted to eat at the restaurant/bar downstairs, but decided on Italian for dinner, and had stumbled upon Mama Venturas right down the block, and it was amazing! Free parking was a bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

“Amazing place to stay”

This hotel was the perfect place for a couples weekend away! The staff was friendly and helpful! The suites were huge and very clean. The view from our room was of the college and Seminary ridge. Because the hotel is smaller it was super quiet. It was also in a great location, which was walking distance from the traffic circle. I would highly recommend this place!

“Great location and beautiful rooms. The bar next door is a bonus.”

My husband, 12 yo son and I stayed at this hotel during a weekend stay to visit the battlefields. I would definitely recommend it. We loved the history of the building and the rooms are spacious and nice appointed. We also got a chance to peek into the Lincoln room and it made me wish that it had been available when I made the reservation as it was beautiful. The bar and restaurant next door were also very convenient, as was the location right in the middle of town. Our only complaint would be the noise - which the hotel clearly knows about as the room comes with ear plugs. Given the lack of insulation in the early 1800s and that the hotel is 8 feet from a busy ‘highway’ that goes through town (the highway goes right through downtown Gettysburg), the road noise is very loud. If you are a light sleeper, be warned.

“Lincoln Suite”

The hotel is a bit different in that it seems to operate like a B&B - no desk staff after 8pm, and in the am at check-out. The included parking is off of the alley behind the hotel, fairly common for Gettysburg. The location of the hotel is good, however a room at the front may have a bit of stre… more

The hotel is a bit different in that it seems to operate like a B&B - no desk staff after 8pm, and in the am at check-out. The included parking is off of the alley behind the hotel, fairly common for Gettysburg. The location of the hotel is good, however a room at the front may have a bit of street noise as it is on a very busy street. We stayed in the Lincoln Suite, which is roomy and attractive. Decorated in a eclectic style, it leans a bit towards minimalistic, but is quite comfortable. The room could benefit from a pouf ottoman to rest your feet on after a long day exploring. I did not find any drinks coasters. The area rug in the bedroom was a problem for us - it is easy to trip on as it does slip around and wrinkle up. If you have mobility issues, do be cautious. Was our room noisy? It is towards the rear, so street noise was not much of an issue. Interior noise from guests was a bit. While common in hotels of all types, it is more so in older buildings. I believe the person above us got in their 10k steps while we watched an episode of Moonshiners. Hallway doors slammed LOUDLY often. Day 2 there was a bit of construction outside of our window ? at 6:58AM. Power saw, hammering, drilling - stopped after about 2 hours. We loved the train though! For the (even off-season) room rate I was surprised that they do not provide robes, and that the provided guest toiletries (Beekman) are not a bit more upscale, nor are they replenished. The shampoo & conditioner are in super hard, small plastic bottles, so it’s difficult work to get the product out. There was not a shower cap or vanity kit, and I don't know if they could be requested. The tub and shower were both very nice, and we enjoyed them. Please consider providing more than 2 towels. Sadly, we did not enjoy the food items or canned juice left for breakfast! :( I will not say more than that. There are some good restaurants in easy walking distance. It is a nice hotel, and comfortable. Good parking, and in a convenient location.
