Very nice hotel. Exactly what I expect from Holiday Inn Express. So many franchised Expresses are…read morenot run properly or are not maintained properly... I usually give perference to the Holiday Inn Express brand.... But I am losing faith because there have been so many poor examples I've stayed at... but not the Lancaster/Mount Joy location! This location reminded me why I keep choosing Holiday Inn Express. The franchisees should be proud and the employees should be proud as their hard work shows. And the next time I'm in the area, I'm 100% sure I will stay at this clean, well kept, nice Holiday Inn Express.

Stayed here because my stay last year was pleasant. I stayed in 310 this time. This room was nasty…read more Shower curtain was stained at the bottom, bathroom smelled. Fridge had a rust stain or just wasn't clean. Food or whatever that was, was caked between beds under phone stand. Sheets had tiny black dots on it, (camera wouldn't pick it up). House keeping took trash and knocked milkshake cup out of it and left milkshake stain on the floor. Best part of my stay was staff was friendly and the pancake maker. Next year I will find somewhere else to stay

I was fortunate enough to find Kendra's tour company. I cannot recommend Kendra's tours highly…read moreenough! (If I used all the superlatives in my mind, my review would sound unreal.) I have never had a better city tour experience, or a more attentive, sensitive, personable, professional guide. I felt like I was visiting a friend, and getting to share her day as she visited with her friends. If you're looking for an amazing experience with absolutely scrumptious food, history told with heart, and a chance to meet some of the most welcoming people in one city, Kendra's tours are for you.

We were here for the under Armour youth girls's basketball tournament. This place is insane and…read moreappears to be a large money pit. First, the facilities are really interesting. With so many teams here to play basketball there was definitely a variety of quality between courts. Sponsor teams had premium space like in my photos, but other teams just had modified all purpose sports space. Not a really good set up proceeding for anybody who is there with their youth. Unfortunately, everything cost something here. It starts with an exorbitant amount for parking. Since this is not an NFL stadium, it seems very ridiculous to have a parking fee that you could not avoid by parking further away. Otherwise, the amount of commercial cash grabs here from food to merch was rather blasé. If this is what funding their business model, I guess I can understand, but it does not feel right. This place does not really teach the rigor of sporting to me, and rather just shows how commercialization has made sports problems.

This hidden gem is a place that your guests will talk about for years to come. If you are looking…read morefor a unique, intimate location for your event, Twistback is the place.

First visit to try out their wines. Very pleasant surroundings and really unique tasting room…read morethat's in house that's been converted. Feels very homey. Service was friendly and I think overall the prices here are reasonable. Was not big on their whites - they were a bit to austere for our taste. The grunier vetliner holds promise but it's missing some of that wonderful pepper spicy note that you typically get. On the red side, they're entry-level wine, which is Redbone was actually our favorite kind of a pizza style light red. I also thought the title, which is there biggest red was pretty decent and they had a new release which I didn't catch the name of but tasted, and it was a Good one as well. Knocked on some cheese and bread with a music in the background and a beautiful deck. A worthwhile destination on a beautiful Saturday

We went to Laserdome for their "Deck The Holograms" augmented reality holiday experience, and…read morehonestly, it was such a delight! Picture this: you step inside a life-sized holographic North Pole, wearing lightweight AR glasses, tossing virtual snowballs, collecting ornaments, helping Santa save Christmas, and discovering festive surprises along the way. It's part game, part holiday movie, and all-around magical. From their website: "Deck the Holograms is a family-friendly augmented reality adventure that transports you inside a life-sized holographic North Pole...an unforgettable shared experience for families, friends, and believers of all ages." Yup, it's exactly that -- and it totally lives up to the hype. We did the experience as a pair, and it was so much fun together. Plus, we got 3 hours of free arcade play included with our tickets for $34.99 per person, which honestly feels like a steal. We even spent a little time in the arcade before jumping into the AR adventure, which was a nice warm-up. The story itself was surprisingly thoughtful -- it made us reflect on being present in the moment during the holidays instead of getting lost in our phones. It's playful, immersive, and yes, totally enjoyable for 40+ year olds too. Plenty of parking, plenty of space to move around, and the whole experience is cozy and warm inside -- perfect for a chilly December night. We booked our tickets from the parking lot on the last Friday before Christmas and had no trouble snagging the 8pm time slot we wanted. Overall, it's a low-impact, warm, immersive, and joyful way to celebrate the season. If you're looking for something different, memorable, and just plain fun, do yourself a favor and check out Deck The Holograms -- you won't regret it!

We could not have done this spectacular birthday party for our daughter without Rachael! We had a…read morefabulous at 14 birthday party for our daughter Emma at the Goggleworks in Reading. Our daughter wanted to have a "teen nightclub" themed dance party for her 14th birthday! At that age it's really challenging to find a venue for a great party that is safe and supervised, but also, crazy fun! Rachael helped us put together a party that was the "talk of the school" event! Everyone was buzzing about this party! Rachael, with the help of some other fantastic companies, like LEO party rentals, and BELLY caterers put together a very reasonably priced and very trendy dance party for Emma and her friends. It was so easy to plan, and even easier to sit back and enjoy the kids having a fantastic time! We couldn't have planned this terrific event without her! Rachael helped us coordinate with everyone. She sat down with me to brainstorm many times before the party, and took care of everything. The tiniest of details were covered! All of the event was kept within a very reasonable budget! We would also like to send a thank you out to the Goggleworks for their terrific, and very trendy "loft" like room, for the party location. The dj " DJ JG" John Gosselin was also a fantastic addition to the party! He knew exactly what music the kids wanted to hear. Everyone danced the entire night! Thank you Rachael for making this night so memorable for Emma, and us too! If your thinking of planning a party for your teenage daughter you should contact Rachael! She will really impress you!
