    For the most part, this is a decent hotel, a little confusing, but decent overall. I booked my room ahead of time to make it easier on everyone involved for check in. When I arrived I wasn't sure where to enter to finish up my check in and drove around the building before figuring out what would be the main entrance. See when you pull into the lot many cars are parked right there and you think that is the main entrance, but it is not. The main entrance is on the narrow part of the building that faces the main throughway. You can enter the door where the cars are parked, but you have to walk half the building to get to the front desk. Once I got myself checked in I did go move my car to join the others, because you find out quickly that that door is right next to the elevators, convenience is key. The front desk area is nice, well lit, and the staff working the desk were superb. In this area you can get your breakfast on or just lounge around if you don't want to be in your room. There is a pool here, which I did not take part in. When I made it to my room I found it to be of a decent size and very bright. For the most part, it is a new hotel. Close to some attractions, Dutch Wonderland comes to mind. There are some missteps with the room that makes it not feel like a typical hotel room. There's no closet, which is all cool, but I don't want my clothes hanging up, chilling in a corner. Also, even though this hotel sits on the newer side, the bathroom already looked a bit worn and torn. You can tell that the shower area was not really sealed correctly. I noticed what was some water damage already from the water escaping the standing shower. TV selection was decent. Views, not the best. And the most disheartening thing about this location is just that, its location. Much like other businesses in this area it is a commercial plot of land that was carved out of farmland. It also abuts into a small residential area. Houses behind it and one right next to it, which just happened to be my view from my room. It wasn't the kindest of views. Then there is the smell. You go outside, and with it being so close to farmland, you get hit in the face with the smell of manure. I also feel as if this smell seeps into the building little by little each time someone comes or goes. You get used to it after a bit, but the smell can be overwhelming, especially when there is heat during the warmer months. Asides from that, it was a decent hotel.

    Was a little apprehensive when booking but this was a great choice. Avery at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful. Maintained his professionalism while dealing with a hotel full of children running everywhere that were there for a soccer tournament. He assured us that there are quiet hours and we were happy to get a good night sleep. The hotel and room were very clean and contemporary decor. Loved the large bottles of toiletries in the bathroom. We didn't take advantage of the continental breakfast since there were other options right in the immediate area. We will definitely stay here again.

    It's in a good location, you are near the parks and outlet mall is you like that sort of thing. The room and lobby weren't clean and were rather unsanitary. Debris and crumbs. Greasy /dirty fingerprints on the side tables and wall near the light switch. Gross. I am carrying wet wipes these days so I can do my part and keep me and mine healthy. It wasn't cheap staying here but no manager/management watching over means neglecting the little things ... which mean something to me. Do better next time. The best thing about this hotel was the view of the Amish farm with running horses and seeing the pretty fieles and cows. Heavenly view. My room had a tub so I loved that also.

    My wife and I decided to stay here at this new IHG owned Avid hotel on Lincoln Hwy for a weekend. Upon arrival we were greeted by Tyler he was friendly and helpful. We were given room 428 on the 4th floor. The lobby is modern looking, it has a dining area and snack/ drink dispensing machines. I noticed, as soon as we walked into our room, how small and claustrophobic it is. CONS: Tiny room for the price. LG TV doesn't have Netflix, Prime, Hulu, AppleTV, etc. TV doesn't have premium cable channels. Can't broadcast the mobile to the TV (on our 2nd day we were told that they've been having issues with the Network for a week, it would have been nice if they told us the 1st day). They're internet is painfully slow, download/upload speed is agonizingly slow. Bathroom showerhead is fixed, i.e.; non-removable. No closet, no drawers. PROS: Indoor heated pool. Very clean areas and room. New modern fixtures. Decent sized bathroom, decent water pressure. Very comfortable bed. Quiet room. Huge 55" TV. Not having a closet/drawers means you will never leave items behind. Plenty of outlets for electronics. Wide expanse window/view. Blackout curtains/shades. Friendly, professional and helpful staff. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the useless TV situation and the price. We will never stay here again, unless the TV issue is resolved and the price is lowered to around $100.00 a night. Thank You to Tyler, Aaliyah, Taron and Richard for making our stay so much better than anticipated.

    This hotel is new, only opened some 8 months ago. Then covid struck. They were closed for two months. Back in business again. We had a memorable stay at this charming, clean and well situated hotel. Stayed in a 4th floor room with a view of a bucolic local farm. Tanger Outlets nearby. Free parking and wifi, a pool and a gym, and both are now open. Good staff, fine service. I recommend the aVID.

    Hooks and hangers

    Loved our stay. You can tell it was built relatively recently. Yes, the room was on the smaller side (I would call it a charmingly efficient use of space) but it felt fresh, well lit, and streamlined. Yes, others here have complained about the absence of a closet, but there are, count 'em, nine hooks on the walls. You won't forget to pack your things a musty closet. The breakfast was lovely - I've listed the offerings in the photos - but what I really appreciated was that nearly everything was individually wrapped. No sandwiches lying in a communal tray waiting to be contaminated by sneezes and inappropriate touching. Interactions with the super nice front desk staff was an absolute pleasure. Shout out to Trei the manager, who managed to make the check in 411 sound welcoming and unscripted and obviously has the gift of hospitality. And Avery, who sympathetically took in my pleading about my teenage son - who must shower before hitting the road after the last bball tourney game - and magically made a late checkout happen despite a full house. Sending you all the love (*tear*)!

    It Takes a Village…read more Forty acre village comprised of a farm, historic buildings, artifacts and some amazing craftspeople. We didn't really know what to expect coming here but were completely blown away by what we found. The Good: *Firstly, the craftspeople that were here during our visit were all simply amazing but special big ups to the Tinsmith and Blacksmith as they were both a pure joy to talk to. They both possess so much great knowledge and skill in their crafts. It was truly amazing to talk to people like this. *One of the better gift shops we've encountered, as it has wares produced by the craftspeople, as well as locally-made Amish wares and even packets of heritage seeds. *Great historic antique-filled buildings to wander around at your leisure. *Be sure to watch the short film about the history of this place at the Visitor Center. *We were here for almost four hours and still didn't see everything! The Meh: *Some of the trails are a bit suspect, so keep an eye on any old folks you bring along. The Ugly: *The farm part of this place could use a little love, but I'm just being nitpicky. TLDR: Great place for lovers of history, but definitely make sure you take full advantage of the craftspeople that are there that day. They're def the heart and soul of this museum. Without them, this would be a 3.5* experience.

    Why is the Hans Herr House significant and who the hell was Hans Herr?…read more The house itself is significant as it is the last remaining structure that is still standing from the original group of Mennonites who came to the Lancaster County area to escape religious persecution from their native Switzerland. The house is also significant in that it is the oldest structure in Lancaster County and likely the oldest remaining Mennonite meetinghouse in the Western Hemisphere. The original group traveled from Switzerland to Germany to escape religious persecution then after a governmental regime change they were forced from Germany to England where they met with William Penn who allowed them to colonize a portion of what is current day Lancaster County or when they arrived in 1711, the extreme most western frontier of Pennsylvania. One interesting piece of information is that the house did not belong to Hans Herr as it was built by his son Christian which is why his initials are over the doorway along with the inscribing mark of 1719. On the tour you are told why the name remained(s) Hans Herr House versus Christian Herr House but honestly I forget why. Maybe something just deferential from Christian towards his father or because of his father's status with the original group that came to the area or maybe everyone just liked the flow of the name more so it's based on tradition? The tour itself is around 40-45 minutes and it starts in the building which houses the gift shop and you are given a brief overview of the Anabaptist faith, the Mennonites who are direct descendants of the faith and a map which shows the route the initial settlers took from Switzerland to Pennsylvania. After that you are taken over to the house where you see the three rooms which make up the first floor (kitchen, bedroom and all purpose dining room-meeting room-family room) and the second floor which is where the eight children slept and finally the basement which is accessed from a side entrance outside of the house. You learn that the key to the home's design is that they didn't believe in wasting any space so every inch served a purpose such as not having hallways so as soon as you walk in the front door you're right in the kitchen. One thing worth noting, if you are someone who is hardcore hung up on only visiting historical places if they have lots of original items then this place might not be for you. There is not a whole lot original to the house that you can see with the exception of a piece of the ceiling insulation on the first floor (rye straw + manure + ??), the wooden crossbeam over the kitchen fireplace and the steps which go from the second floor to the third floor attic (obviously you can't use them). Past that I think most everything else was changed out in the 19th century when the house was still used as a residence or in the early 70's when the initial renovation occurred to make things into a tourist destination. If you want more original take a look at the bibles on display in the gift shop which are original to Hans and Christian. I wouldn't call the Hans Herr House a must see, but it's interesting enough and the tour is the right length to keep everyone interested along with being located close enough to most of Lancaster County's tourist elements. If you go: The 1719 Hans Herr House is open April 1 through November 30, Monday-Saturday, 9:00 AM-4:00 PM. Forty-five minute Herr House tours are offered at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. This is not the tour information for their reproduction Native American Longhouse. That tour is offered at 10 a.m., 12 noon and 2 p.m and has an entirely different focus. Prices are currently Adults: $8, Children 7-12: $4 and Children 6 and under: free with a slight discount if you choose to tour both structures. There are also several special events that happen throughout the year and that information is available on their website.

Owners Evita and Solise have created a space that shows appreciation to the culture, while celebrating the stories of people of African diaspora through literature and art. For those who are reading this and are from the DMV area think of Busboy & Poets but with a little twist. So what's the twist you ask? They offer beer and wine through a self-serve tap system. Meaning you receive a wristband that allows you to help yourself to a variety of local beers and wine. Each is charged by the ounce and is charged to your tab at the end of your visit. An added bonus is two of the wines that were available were made in-house; the Concord Jungle and Mizz Education. We enjoyed the Mizz Education which is a sweet and refreshing Moscato so much we ended up taking two bottles home with us. Let me just say this, I've been to my fair share of restaurants for brunch and the food at Concrete Rose hands down is the top 5 best food I've ever had. We tried a variety of options which include the Salmon Avocado Toast, Soul of the Sea and Chicken wings with concord bbq sauce. All were seasoned, cooked and plated to perfection. Whew Lord just thinking about those crab cakes with herbed garlic butter and remoulade sauce has me thinking about taking a road trip to get some more. Ambiance, food and service are all top tier at A Concrete Rose. Do yourself a favor and check them out. There's so much there for you to see and try! I can promise you one thing, you won't be disappointed. Evita and Solise you've outdone yourselves on this one! So proud of what you both have accomplished.

Deck the Halls is a fantastic way to celebrate Christmas with nostalgic songs and remember Jesus' birth.

This was after we were told to make our way through a very crowded gift shop to the other side of the venue, even though our seats were in the middle. This is one of the least accommodating venues I have been to for people with mobility issues. From the parking spots to removing a medical device, it is wholly unacceptable. The theatre itself is a very nice, modern establishment and the performances I have attended are wonderful productions. The ticket prices are a bit high but better seats always are. If you have no mobility issues you will likely be thrilled with this venue.
