Exceptionally clean and the staff were super friendly. The on site restaurant was good. They could use to hire a few more staff members for speedier service. This was a great location to lots of restaurants and shops down the street. read more

The room was great the hotel service informative and helpful . We went to the pub for a drink . The bar tender didn't know how to make an old fashion not sure what he made for my wife which was a mule but tasted like poison . He put water in the old fashion no bitters no orange peal it was horrid so if you go there order wine or beer lol read more

Federal Pointe Inn - This what it should have looked like it's as easy to make as any drink I know - Hotels Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

We wanted to stay at a hotel with some history. I didn't want the typical chain hotel where I usually stayed during my trips. I wanted something historically tied to Gettysburg. Everything was checked out online via Yelp, which was a nice confidence boost. I didn't want to make a mistake and end up with a nightmare stay. Next, the parking and the front desk entrance are at the rear of the building. It has a fascinating history. Throughout the hotel, there are historical paintings of Gettysburg. The restaurant that was part of the inn no longer serves breakfast, so we had to drive out for a bite. However, we planned to visit the battleground early in the morning, so this was no big issue. Also, please ignore folks who repeat what they've heard about ghosts at the Federal Pointe Inn. Besides, historians often write these people off as less reliable, and their accounts are open to individual interpretation. Like the game, you see on TV where folks sit in a circle, and a person would whisper something in the ear of another person, who would whisper it to the next and so forth, and it virtually had no resemblance to the original. Well, that sums up ghost stories. So, don't allow ghost stories to deter you from staying at the Federal Pointe Inn. read more

My first time staying at the Federal Pointe Inn. The Manager on duty was very nice, and knowledgeable about the history of the former school. She also took the time to show me to my room.I had a corner room with a King bed. The room was spacious, two large chairs and a small desk. The ceilings are very high, with large windows. The bathroom was nice, big shower. Everything was clean and well maintained. I walked into town several times, lounged on the from deck at sunset. I did not eat at the pub downstairs, but did take a peak. Very nicely decorated with several people dining and others at the bar I will definitely return in the future. read more

We had a great weekend getaway here - spacious and lovely 302 - the bathroom is particularly noteworthy- walk in shower and full rack of amenities. The Pub fare is so good we dined there both nights. Extensive beer and wine selection but as we are Dry Jan - Mike had no problem with our multiple mocktails. Most appetizers are boring - not here. roasted Poblano chilies, Swedish meatballs. I had a phenomenal bone in Pork chop that was seasoned and perfectly cooked. Also worth shout out is the beef rib sandwich- awesome. Highly recommend this place whenever you are in the mood for some battlefield expeditions. I know we will be back. read more

I stayed in the bridal suite (it was the only suite available) Pros: - HUGE, comfortable, clean bed. 10/10 -Nice big jacuzzi -beautiful shower -lovely private area, far away from other rooms. Private exit onto the street, private entrance into the pub -soaps, shampoos, lotions etc all very nice - towels and consumables replaced promptly daily, all very clean -charming building -friendly and helpful staff! -rooms had a checkers table (what every newly wed is doing on their wedding night, certainly) -coffee and tea served in the afternoon with scones -pub in the basement -the price is very fair for the accommodations Cons: -no breakfast (just coffee and tea) -bridal suite is in a half-basement. The windows are ground level, no view. -bikers were in town, the road noise was a lot a ground level -the carpet is vintage - charming but a bit dated. -the granite tile in the bathroom is SLICK. Be careful! -jacuzzi next to the bed.. in a carpeted area? read more

Destination Gettysburg says the place is haunted. Well, I only knew that after staying there. Did I notice anything strange during my stay? No. What I did notice was a nice private lot for the car. A very comfortable room. I think given the history of it being the Meade School and it being a hotel for I believe only the past 12 years makes it somewhat "new" for an old place. Checking in and checking out were easy. I did make use of the pub on the first floor, which is more or less the basement. Service was very good there. I would say the food, however, was about average. Never having been to Gettysburg before I was not sure where this place would be in reference to some points of interest. If you have anything on Baltimore St it could be quite a walk from here, so you might want to drive or Uber but ride-share availability depending on the time, and time of year, can be really thin. read more

A well appointed former schoolhouse. Conveniently located in Gettysburg, away from the noise and tourist traffic. Very pleasant service staff, ample parking, with an onsite pub. read more

Located just a tad on the outskirts of Gettysburg is this gem of a hotel. We had the King room and they assigned us inside the hotel in room 206. The room was very spacious, plenty of storage space, and even had a keurig maker in the room with a large mini fridge. The bathroom was large, and the tub was also a spa. The water was nice and hot, but the pressure could use some work. I did like that there was a night light in the bathroom, so you wouldn't have to use the lights if you needed to use it at night. Mid day they offered hot scones, and all day was a keurig machine with plenty of coffee and tea choices. Ample parking and literally across the parking lot was Dunlap's restaurant which was a good breakfast place. The hotel had a pub, but we never got to try it. Also a Dollar General across the street if you forgot some essentials. Aside from the poor water pressure, nothing really bad to say. read more

The Federal Point Inn is a fantastic choice. The staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. The rooms are very spacious and exceptionally well kept. The location is convenient to dining within walking distance, not to mention a great breakfast spot just across the parking lot. I should also mention that it's only a 7 to 8 minute drive to the museum in Battlefield, during the fall when we visited. We also took advantage of the pub located in the lowest floor of the building, which is just full of character. I would recommend this hotel without reservation. read more

Federal Pointe Inn - Hotels Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Some friends told me about Federal Point Inn this summer. We have a group of 4 couples that try to get together once a month to go out to a "nice" dinner. This month we decided on the Pub at Federal Point Inn. The pub is in the basement but they also have tables and umbrellas on the patio. We made reservations and since we had 8 people they gave us their private dining room. The drinks and wine choices were great and the food was amazing. We were well pleased with our night out! read more

This Inn is excellent, pristine clean rooms bed super comfortable so convenient to the sites of Gettysburg. Wonderful staff, so helpful and great recommendations on site seeing tours. A quaint.pub in the basement really enjoyed our stay high recommends for this beautiful elegant inn. Great parking and stores you can walk to easily. Would visit again, this inn gets 5 stars from this traveler. read more

The outside of the inn is beautiful. The grounds are well maintained. There is excellent parking and it felt safe. The location is perfect to walk around the shops and restaurants in the downtown area. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are huge. The inn used to be a school. They are converted classrooms. The ceilings are very high. There is a sofa and coffee table. A desk. A huge antique dresser. 2 night stands. The king size bed is very comfortable. It had 5 smaller pillows, and they were very comfortable. The bathroom is beautiful. It is very large. It has a large tiled walk in shower and a whirlpool tub. The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. There is a single vanity with plenty of counter space. The only cons would be the carpet is slightly dated, but very clean and the noise from the street was loud, but if you shut the storm windows it reduces the noise. I would definitely stay here again !! read more

We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, having heard good things about it from friends. Our arrival was at 5pm, so was not at all crowded, however a small gathering began to assemble in the private room adjacent to where we were sitting. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated by our server Michael who was attentive, efficient, and gracious. I had a cup of lobster bisque as well as nachos with dip as an appetizer, cand garlic shrimp pasta for my entree. The servings were not massive, however were quite tasty and I was satiated such that there was no room for dessert. The prices were surprisingly reasonable for such a nice venue. Our bill for the 2 of us was less than $50 which I think is great. Coffee is fresh as each cup is made in a Keurig. There is ample parking and the area is safe. If we didn't reside less than a mile away, I'd consider checking into the hotel! I recommend with enthusiasm! read more

We stayed here for one night. The hotel was very nice. It is in an historic building. Our room was on the first floor. It was spacious with very high ceilings. We appreciated the larger mini fridge. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed hearing about the building's history. There is plenty of parking. We walked around town and had a very nice breakfast at the Federal Pointe Grill. We look forward to our next stay here. read more

We really enjoyed our two night stay at Federal Pointe. The rooms are so cozy and love the school house touches. The fresh coffee in the morning and tea with scones in the afternoon are a nice touch. The pub downstairs was adorable and food was excellent. Also, very reasonable prices, which we appreciated. The staff are super friendly and you really can't beat the location, near the center of shopping and restaurants. read more

Federal Pointe Inn - Our room - 204. - Hotels Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Definitely have to try this place. Good beer selection and the food is very good. An upscale pub.

Superb! Fabulous! Amazing stay. This is the right way to lodge. I can't wait to come back. The spacious suite. The spa bathtub. The complimentary tea, coffee, and scones. The in-house pub/restaurant. It's walking distance from town close to eateries, wineries and other shops. This hotel is award winning and from what I could see the accolades are well deserved. I was completely comforted by the cleanliness. And the wonderfully hospitable Maggie at the front desk. It's a lovely quaint getaway with just enough of a modern touch. read more

This was overall a great stay in the off season of Gettysburg. We stayed here Presidents Day Weekend so rates were very affordable. The location is pretty great, walking distance to most anything you need but not directly in the town center. The front desk couldn't have been friendlier showing us our room, which was 306 on the second floor. No elevators so be warned if you require that. As a history buff I love the pictures of past classes of the Meade school everywhere. It's neat. They also have coffee, tea and water in the hallway and delicious scones at time too. We had a king bed, it was very comfy, the pillows, while comfy were the size of throw pillows, I have never seen that, it was a bit odd and I wish they had full sized pillows, especially with a king size bed. The bathroom was small but perfect for us. The ceilings are massive and you can see old school house features like where the blackboard likely was. It has a lot of character but is also modern. I do wish there were more outlets, but not a big deal. I love the mini fridge and keurig in the room. The biggest con here was the wi-fi was pretty terrible, it essentially didn't work and kept disconnecting or going out all together. Not a deal breaker just a minor annoyance. The real star here is the little pub downstairs, shout out to Angie, she was awesome she allowed us to take over on a Saturday night and she talked to us had fun with us and was just a great person to be around, not to mention her beer recommendations were all on point! The beer prices can't be beat ($4 craft/import, $3 domestics) all bottles no draft. The only food we ate was the pretzel, it was a bit meh, I wouldn't get it again, but it was ok. If you are in town this is a nice hotel that strays from smaller B&Bs or typical chain place. I will definitely be back. read more

Federal Pointe Inn - Boy Scouts from the school there are a ton of these great photos here - Hotels Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

The place is beautiful and the staff are very nice and welcoming. Would definitely go again

This historic hotel is fabulous! Once upon a time it was The Meade School, and there is amazing vintage artifacts around every corner. Our room was incredibly beautiful, clean and comfortable, with a little bit of modernity. We had drinks and appetizers downstairs in the pub. The entire staff was fun to be around. We even left our luggage there, and they were more than happy to send it back to us. We were incredibly grateful. The only drawback is, there are no elevators because of the age of the hotel. We were so in awe of the place, that we got over that quickly. read more

Beautifully renovated first high school in Gettysburg (Meade School 1896) with nicely appointed rooms including some wonderful Civil War art. A very finely appointed Gettysburg Hotel style Inn unfortunately complimented by a Howard Johnson's style hospitality. (Everything at their fingertips and yet you must pry it from their hands) 1st day (check in): First of all, staffing of Gettysburg hotels and restaurants has taken a HUGE hit. Replacements are inexperienced, uncaring, disinterested and distracted Liberal Arts Freshmen at their very first job. Secondly, Gettysburg restaurants have some kind of collective agreement on which ones are open on which weekdays while ALL are open on weekends- this includes Federal Point Inn whose Pub is closed Sun thru Tue- forcing all visitors into the same few open ones making weekday dining a VERY CROWDED delay (Advice for Federal Point Inn Front Desk Staff who I will not embarass by naming): 1. Remind guests making Res for Sun-Tue that the Inn's Pub is CLOSED those days. 2.When elderly guests check in, don't ask "Oh, this room is up those steps- you alright with that? Try "We do not have elevator service would you prefer a room on the ground floor?" 3.When elderly guests get halfway up those steps with several heavy items, don't look over your shoulder and ask "Ya need help with that?" Try grabbing a bag before getting to the steps and KINDLY say "Here, let me help you with that." 4.When asked about a restaurant, don't make a face of disgust and shake your head but simply hand over the recommended list. 5.When asked where the GO PUB is, don't vaguely point over your left shoulder saying "that way a few blocks"- try "about a five minute walk east on Chambersburg St (Rte 30)". 2nd day- took empty guest services folder to front desk to advise it is empty. Response "what do you mean empty?" After confirming folder was empty and given xerox copies of downtown map and recommended dining list, asked clerk how to get heat in room. She responded with" Oh, the hotel is in Summer mode so the air conditioning is on. If you want heat, turn off the box on the wall and turn on the radiator." I wondered but did not ask why the air conditioner was left on full blast when it was 47F at the time of our check in. I'm not going to bother with reviewing the rest of day 2 or 3 because I don't expect it to get any better. One note: traffic noise at this Inn is the loudest of any hotel I've stayed in during my 35 years visiting- including Howard Johnson's! read more

Amazing renovation of an old school house. We had the best room (#101). Comfortable bed with great linens and pillows. Mini fridge was a big one with a separate freezer door. Nice sitting area in the room. TV was small for the size of the room but we didn't really stay in the room much so that was ok. The pub is cute - small but great staff. Mike served us and stayed late to serve us. Maggie at the front desk was amazing. So excited to have us and you could tell she loved her job. Gave us some good recommendations on dinner places and sat with us at the pub after her shift and gave us a lot of Gettysburg info! So nice. Nice place and nice people read more

Beware they may overbook! We booked a king whirlpool suite a month prior to our stay directly through the choice hotel website. After driving for 2 hours, we arrived at the hotel at 4:30. Upon arrival we were told that "due to a glitch in the system" they overbooked and the only room they had was a queen room in an off site building. We decided that was not what we wanted and left. Thirty minutes later, after we booked at another hotel they called and said actually we do have the room for you it was just a problem with the computer. By that point we had booked elsewhere. The whole thing was weird. I'm not sure what the actual issue was, we stayed there in the past and it was wonderful. But after this I doubt I will stay again or even stay at choice hotels again. read more

So when my wife and I came here I wanted to leave immediately when I entered the room. I wanted a more modern room, my wife said stay one night and we'll see how it is. Glad I did, the room grew on me. Now if you like vintage this place is definitely for you! It ties in with the history of Gettysburg. From what I was told it was a school and turned into a hotel in the 1900's. When you walk into the room you have that homey feeling, nice furniture, great paint color, It ties the room together. The bathroom is more modern. So the floors are wooden with carpet on top, they creek when you walk on them. I can hear the neighbors next to me walk because of the floor noise and I can't imagine how the people below us felt. In the middle of the night we woken up because of it. Now to the pillows.... they're horrible I mean HORRIBLE, we had to go to Walmart and buy pillows to sleep. The bed wasn't that bad to sleep on, I didn't wake up in the morning not able to move unlike some other hotels I was in! STAFF IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! they're such nice people willing to help at any moment. Always with a smile and making you feel at home. The pub is open Wednesday- Sunday and it's in the basement of the hotel. Again the guy ( bartender) was extremely nice and helpful. The food is really good too and had a lot of beers to choose from. So overall I'm glad I stayed and would definitely stay again when I'm in town! Ohhhh and I'm not saying I believe in ghost BUT... PROS: Great staff Comfy home feeling Food Free coffee CONS: Pillows Small TV Noisy wooden floors Needs new comforters read more

Great place! Many thanks to the new owner for making the investment to save this property and share it with others. Clean rooms. Even though the original classrooms were cut in half to make 2 hotel rooms each, each individual hotel room is still plenty ample. And, includes fridges/micros and sitting chairs. A bit cramped if you were 2 in a room, perhaps. (I was just 1 on this trip.) I agree with another poster that the bed was THE most comfortable thing I have slept on lately. I even ripped my sheets off in the morning looking for a label on the mattress, but, I couldn't find one (I'm guessing mine was sadly on the underside). Good location - away from the cluster of downtown, but, close enough to easily walk to anything downtown. And, comes with its own parking lot, which is great. Down side - I tend to get cold very easily. And, I was there in early May, when the nights still dipped down into the upper 40s / low 50s. The rooms are heated only by electric baseboard heaters. And, when they first walk you to the room, the AC has been on high for quite some time before you get there. So you just spend more electricity over-riding all that AC to get the room to a normal temperature. I get it - all hotels do this because somehow the room FEELS more clean if it's cold and dry, versus warm and moist. I get it. But with the electric baseboards, it just takes a long time to counter-act, and then, at 3:00 am, you are too warm and have to stumble over to the floor to shut the thing off. A bit inconvenient, but, I'm sure there were insane limitations in their remodel. Look at this review! The only bad thinig I could say about staying in this historic property was that "wah, they had to use electric baseboard heaters." Just stay here. It's awesome. And not a dime more expensive than a chain property. Complimentary tea/coffee. Really great accent books and pictures throughout the property. Lovely soaps and bathroom amenities. read more

I usually am always picky and find something that I don't like with a hotel. However, this establishment is rated top on my list. First time staying here and will stay again. Rooms are wonderful and beds are comfortable. The staff here is top notch and very helpful/welcoming. Robin and Nick at the hotel pub know exactly what customer service is all about. They welcomed us in and offered superior service. Overall great place to stay! read more

We just spent 2 nights there over the Easter weekend. It was a school that opened in 1896 and has been beautifully and respectfully converted into a hotel. High ceilings, large windows and reproduction furniture that suits the architecture make it a great place to stay if you're in Gettysburg for the history. There is always available coffee and tea in the lobby and a cosy pub in the basement. read more

Federal Pointe Inn - The builder's name was carved into a stone in the wall in our room. - Hotels Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Gorgeous old school converted into a hotel. Very modernized and spacious. Safe and well lit parking. Restaurant looked appealing (wasn't open though). However, customer service was extremely poor. Rooms over scented with smelly deodorizers made it incredibly uncomfortable and difficult to sleep for this asthmatic. Management was alerted 2x ahead of stay to prepare the room fragrance free and did not. Did nothing to rectify the situation when I alerted them. Provided no alternative room, no fans, no discount. Basically 'sorry about your luck'. Glad there are numerous other options in this lovely town should my family choose to return. Summary: 1) Those with allergies - stay elsewhere 2) Those with customer service expectations - stay elsewhere 3) Those with no allergies and lower customer service expectations for $200/night: you will love this place as it is lovely and quiet ... but VERY smelly read more

This hotel is a restored 1890s schoolhouse. Nice sized rooms at a reasonable price. A few minutes walk from the center of town. The staff is both friendly and helpful. Two drawbacks: there is no elevator so you have to haul your stuff up some steep stairs. Of course the friendly staff offers to help but that's the second drawback. There is only one of them. They are too occupied with other tasks to actually help. This place is seriously understaffed. read more

Handsome building and pleasant receptionists but everything else wrong: Had to get help to get heat on, just one small towel per adult, bedding and stored blanket not clean, no bathrobe or needed supplies.
