Nice enough hotel. Clean and nice size rooms. Nice lobby with great staff. Bar restaurant on premise and walking distance to all sorts of eateries. Can't go wrong, give it a shot if in the area looking for a place to stay. read more

My fiance surprised me with a Valentines day trip here and i was in love! The front desk ladies helped us check in quickly and answered all of our odd questions. Room was very nice and quiet. I loved the fireplace and jacuzzi bath. We were not lucky enough to have any paranormal activity in our room (sadly) but the third floor was eeiry. We got off the elevator to check out the pool even thought it was closed and when we came back to the same elevator maybe 7 minutes later the door was still open. We got in and my fiance pushed the door close button and it shut but quickly reopened as if someone pushed the button outside. The front desk lady told us most guests reported ghost activity on that floor but she's never seen anything. We will be back for sure! read more

Great hotel in a wonderful location- we were on vacation and able to walk to most attractions. Parking is not free, but the front desk staff will explain and help upon check in. The hotel has a good restaurant for breakfast. Friendly staff. The rooms are large (stayed in the rear of the hotel) and well appointed. Includes coffee, refrigerator, and microwave. The only reason they do not get 5 stars is their lack of bell hops, valets, or concierge services. AAA discount. Will return. read more

Great hotel. We had our wedding there. Our coordinator did a great job putting our event together. We got lots of extras included in our event. Cake, honeymoon suite bridal party room and cocktails in the atrium were all included in the $50 a person quote. We were able to negotiate special pricing on certain extra things. The cake person was a true artist and made a cake that was magazine worthy. Ballroom is an old bank that was annexed by the hotel. One of those big rooms with ornate ceiling and orignal chandeliers. Everything seems to have been renovated recently. Our suite was very nice. Bar/Restaurant food was ok but the food for the reception was the best hotel food I have ever had. It was even good compared to most restaurants. We were able to have a very classy wedding on a budget. read more

Hotel Gettysburg - Old bank that was converted to ballroom. The uplighting makes it spectacular. - Hotels Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

See all

Pros: There are so many! The staff is genuinely friendly and accommodating. This is so refreshing to say the least. The location is wonderful. The room was cozy. The parking garage was great with easy access to the hotel. Cons: A good room attendance by staff is lacking a little bit. I found left over items under the beds (uncleaned) and a bathroom faucet issue that needed attention in the shower/tub. read more

We visit Gettysburg every few years, and this was our first time staying at The Gettysburg Hotel. Upon arrival, we were met by a very professional and polite person who promptly checked us in. Having selected a King Junior Suite and requesting a room overlooking the town square at the time of reservation, if available, we were told at check-in that rooms of this type do not overlook the town. This was in contradiction to the statement on their site that "some rooms [of the King Junior Suite type] offer views of historic Gettysburg". Clearly, that was not the case. Our view was of nothing but air conditioning ductwork on the roof. Needless to say, the curtains remained closed for the duration of our visit. The room appeared to have been renovated in the past few years. There was a refrigerator and microwave in the room as well as a single-serve coffee machine. There were also two flat-screen TVs in the room. In terms of the bathroom facilities, if you're looking for a strong shower, forget it. The water pressure was very weak, and the drain tended to back up. It wasn't fun to get clean in a standing puddle of water. In addition, in our room, there was no exhaust fan. Having visited Gettysburg in the hottest week of 2016, it wasn't ideal to have the air conditioning fail on the last day of our stay. The front desk was quick to send someone from maintenance to investigate the issue, but after rebooting the thermostat, the temperature continued to increase to almost 80 degrees. We were told that other guests were having issues with their air conditioning as well. Without windows to open, the air was stagnant, and our last night was rather uncomfortable. Parking is very convenient relative to the hotel's location but costly. There is a public garage behind the hotel. Once you check in, you can sign up for a parking pass online. However, unlike other hotels where the parking is free, the fee to park in the garage is $10 a day plus tax. With respect to amenities, there is a bar and restaurant on the first floor, but as other reviewers have mentioned, there is no room service or vending machines. If you are up early in the morning, you might be able to get one of the ten complimentary copies of the Gettysburg Times newspaper from a machine. The biggest advantage to staying at this hotel is the location in the town square. There are many stores and restaurants within walking distance. Lincoln Diner - a fantastic place to eat 24 hours a day, especially for breakfast - is right across the street. The Pub is a restaurant and bar that is located in the square and has outdoor seating. If you enjoy walking, you can head down Baltimore Street, which is lined with historic homes, and visit Cemetery Hill or the National Cemetery. Ultimately, the high cost of the stay here was not worth it. While the location is great, the facilities are subpar and the services offered are minimal. There are many other economical options in town that couple the benefit of a great location and an amazing stay. read more

Beautiful room, accommodating staff and a prime location. My only wish would be that there was a breakfast included.

I travel for a living. I stay at hotels all the time. I also conduct property condition assessments on hotels. So when I'm not staying in one, I'm inspecting them. Not that I'm trying to give more weight to my review. But i know hotels as a customer, inspector, and dealing with staff on a professional level. That being said... We travel up to Gettysburg at least twice a year, including every Thanksgiving. This used to be our hotel of choice. That was before all the renovations. I even don't want to get into all the racket they made while were trying to rest during those renovations. But they changed the whole atmosphere of the hotel. It used to have that cozy 19th century period feel to it. (Isn't that what we come to Gettysburg for?) It had a wonderful breakfast in the front room that overlooked the square. Now they modernized it. Converted the nice cozy breakfast area to a cold modern business area. (Do most of us go to Gettysburg for the modern feel?) Now your most convenient option for breakfast is at the overpriced below average food at the adjoining restaurant next door. To put the icing on the cake, you now had to pay daily parking at the parking garage. Something that used to and still should be included with your stay. Now on to the staff. With the new renovations came a new attitude and/or new staff. The housekeeping and maintenance staff were their usual friendly and helpful selves. But the new management, i can't say the same thing. We are leisurely packing up for our trip home. Knowing that the house keepers are on a schedule. I asked if she needed to clean our room immediately. She told us to take our time it would be awhile till she made it down there. 10mins later there is a bang on the door and the manager asked if were leaving or staying another day. And we need to check out immediately. I've had polite calls from the front desk before when i've ran over some, but never treated like I was being thrown out. That was our last stay. We now stay at the Platinum Awarded Quality Inn at General Lee's Headquarters. (Before it was forced to close.) Here we are welcomed warmly like family when we arrive and leave each time. read more

The only good thing about this place is its location. Otherwise, it's a DUMP. Booked a "junior suite" for a boys getaway with my 8 year-old. The first words out of his mouth when we walked into the room were "wow, it's really small"!!! The pool is tiny, no valet parking, no in room safes, not even a bag to put dirty laundry in!!! No redeeming qualities whatsoever. If you're considering staying here, keep looking... read more

I was expecting an older more antiquated atmosphere but its actually pretty modern inside. There's a nice bar downstairs that makes great drinks although the friendliness is a little lacking occasionally. The rooms are large and clean with some of the best hotel beds I've slept on. It's also a great location but you definitely pay for it. read more

Disgusted with check-in process. I'm only going to lay out the FACTS!! I walk in with my white male co-worker at 11:45am. I approach the desk FIRST and ask to check-in. The clerk says "check in is not until 3pm". She asks for my cell phone number and says she'll call me when a room is ready. My co-worker walks up to the same lady when I'm done, she took his ID, checked him in, and gave him room keys. Of course I'm a bit upset, so I asked her why. She said it's because of the "type" of room. I said, "and what type of room is that"? She said, "he had 2 queen beds and you have 2 double beds". Are you freakin kiddin me!!!?? I never had a room preference in the first place!! All I needed was a room with at least 1 bed!! And to make matter worse, she did NOT call me when a room was ready. Unfortunately I was there with my department on business and couldn't leave. Fortunately, several of my co-worker witnessed this mess and we'll never stay there again...professionally OR personally. read more

This is a lovely property, with some very odd (to me) elements. They wouldn't have been especially odd to me if the hotel had been more of a period destination, and where the lack of amenities could have been more in keeping with the "old fashioned" feel,, but the hotel is very modern. Sleek, lovely, and modern. And so some of what we experienced seemed odd to me. 1. We didn't get a microwave or fridge, although they were supposed to be in our room. We didn't much care--it was just a noticing 2. The parking isn't included, and the garage is not attached to the hotel. In the rain, this is a problem. As an aside, the max fee per day in the garage is $10, but if you lose your ticket, you have to pay $15. Made my head tilt a bit, thinking about that. 3. It was unseasonably warm, and stuffy in the room one morning. Turning on the AC, the smell coming out of the vent was that of a skunk. The front desk clerk was dismayed by this. 4. The timer for the fireplace ticks. That's annoying 5. There's a restaurant in the hotel, but no room service 6. Only basic cable--no on-demand movies. And no hotel info channel or a way to check out via TV. 7. The plumbing isn't especially robust; our toilet had to be serviced three times over two days. 8. The rooms are noisy (street noise is LOUD). We were there on a fairly dead weekend. I have no idea how crazy loud it would have been when warm outside and when the town is more full. The best things? The people were very nice, the WiFi was free and zippy, and the bed was super comfy. read more

We were lucky to arrive and get a suite room for our short stay in Gettysburg. Our room overlooked Lincoln Square - perfect! The room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The staff was more than accommodating and made our stay very enjoyable. You can walk to a number of places and also enjoy the bar and restaurant right in the hotel. You have to pay to park ($10-12) but the ramp is right behind the Inn. read more

PROs: It is conveniently located in the center of town with a full service restaurant and bar. You can stay here and walk to many attractions in town. The rooms are nicely furnished and appeared clean. CONs: Drastically overpriced especially considering there is NO free parking. There are few amenities in the room (who doesn't provide a microwave anymore?!). We parked in the township lot around back and our car was broken into, GPS and iPhone stollen. When I told the front desk the woman working there was unimpressed and barely said sorry, didn't offer us a free drink, nothing. The elevators are TINY and we had an infant with us and the ramps within the hotel would barely accomodate a stroller, can't image how people in wheelchars can move about in there! I was very disappointed overall and likely won't be staying here again. read more

Hotel needs some updating. Carpets were dirty in the room and very dirty in the hallways. Wallpaper was falling off the walls in the bathroom. read more

I booked due to many positive reviews. I usually stay at a chain in the area. The location is great, right off circle in town. The rooms are spacious, but the bathroom area has 1 small sink and akward lighting in bathroom. The parking was non-existent, you have to pay to park in the town garage. The staff was friendly at check-in. The WiFi did not work for us either . read more

We stayed at this hotel this past weekend while visiting the civil war sites. We were hoping that the fact that it was on the downtown square, it would take us back in time in a good way (think Old Town Alexandria). Unfortunately, we should have researched a little better. As the town was depressing and most of the stores were closed down. I don't think there were any shops open except for a tattoo place and the Bar/Restaurant across the hotel. Anyway, we arrived Friday afternoon. The ladies at the front desk quickly checked us in, however they were not welcoming or friendly at all. No small talk, no talk at all. We were sent to the third floor. The last rooms in a long walkway right next to the exit door facing the back of the hotel in the third floor. We walked in the room and although it was not bad in size (King Jr Suite) our views were of the roof and the train tracks next to an old empty lot and we sure felt and heard the train passing by. We walked in the room and the first thing I notice was that he floors were not vacuumed; the hand towels in the bathroom you could tell had been used and not changed and, as my one year old open drawers and doors he found a bag full of trash that was left behind. I tried not to make it a big deal; as I wanted to make the best out of it. I guess it could have been worse. We unpacked an open the sofa bed for our kids. To my surprise, I had to make the bed as the bed was not made. Fine, not a problem I make my bed every day. I immediately called the front desk as I had forgotten to ask for a crib in the room. The lady told me it would be $10 extra a night. Really, for a crib? I have to make my own bed, throw the trash out and you want to charge me for a crib? I've never been charge extra for a crib!! So I said forget it. It doesn't end there, the toilet was dirty (I should've taken pictures) I kept saying to myself "it's just rust". There were hairs and mold on the bathtub/wall. I think they just wipe the bathroom down and don't scrub it AT ALL. I closed the bathroom door and I found red plastic beads hanging in the back of the door. Maybe the person who stayed before us had been to mardi grass or something... Other than that, the beds were comfy and the room was cozy. There was plenty of space for four. Maybe it was just our luck, that we got the room the cleaning lady decided to slack on. Little did she know, that the next person staying in the room would yelp about it. The Lincoln diner nearby is a great place for food. The Civil War site was the best part of our weekend. T read more

~The location, very central, can't be beat. ~From the outside, the inn looks historic; the interior, while perfectly comfortable, is fairly generic. I wouldn't expect daguerrotypes in the rooms, but for such an old & interesting building, decorating-wise it could be an upscale Ramada on the outskirts of a big city (that said, this comment is subjective and entirely a matter of taste). ~I was placed in a second-floor room, and I noticed that while there was a set of two stairs leading to my corridor, there wasn't an accompanying ramp for guests who would have problems navigating stairs, such as those on crutches or in wheelchairs. ~I prefer a cooler room, but was not able to bring my thermostat below 67 degrees. ~Parking is in a structure to the rear of the building and costs ten dollars per day. ~My room was clean. ~The walls are thin, and the sounds of conversation and television bleed through. ~The one real complaint I have is that I was awakened at about 11:30 p.m. by someone trying to get into my room. When I opened the door to tell him the room was occupied, the other fellow showed me his keycard sleeve, which had my room number written on it. I used to work in an historic, high-end B&B, and I understand mistakes happen, but this was a BIG one, not just for me but for the late-arriving guest as well, and it's the main reason I don't give the place a higher rating. read more

I'm strictly referring to the hotel restaurant here and not the hotel itself which is very nice. They have a breakfast buffet here for around ten bucks a head. We were checking out that morning and didn't want to drive out and come back to the hotel so we decided to go with the buffet. We walked into the dining area and there were no staff around. Didn't know if we should just sit down, wait, or what!! One of the other guest told us that we can just take a table. Soon a waitress came out and brought us some coffee and told us to help ourselves. Powdered eggs!! Semi-cold sausage and bacon. A waffle maker. Cement block danishes( i mean the quality, not the size)! If this were a $5 buffet at sizzler, maybe this would be acceptable, but not here. Skip it and make the trip someplace else! read more

You are 100% paying for the location, that's it. Nickel and dime on everything- parking $10 a day, $12 if you want to be able take your car in and out- oh and if someone takes your parking spot while you're out- you have to pay for another spot. $10 a night for a roll away bee - I paid extra for a very nice sweet- we needed the sofa bed- it was awful. The mattress had a huge lump in it- it was very extremely uncomfortable, very hard, first 2 adults stay free per room, after that it is $10 per an adult. No free breakfast. Also with the parking , there are only a couple spots up front to check in , if those are filled up, which they were for us, you have to park around the back parking garage and bring the luggage cart out there. Employees not the most friendly , hotels are known for courteous staff- not here. Positives- the location is wonderful, when you step out the front doors you can visualize how it was 200 years ago. You can get a hotel room down the road much much less expensive with more perks but you won't have the location . Over all I wish I would have chose a different hotel, I won't stay here again when I return to Gettysburg. I rarely leave negative reviews too. read more

Excellent choice, best value in town, right next to the memorial cemetary. Very clean and accommodating, I asked for a quiet room, I got it, I asked for extra pillows, no problem, I asked for special breakfast meal, they took care of me. I even screwed up my reservation and they waived the extra charge. This place redefines the term 'customer service'. Would recommend to retired couple (like me and wife), or for family with kids (pool is nice). read more

Nice hotel - pleasant staff. Get new bedding - the sheets were very scratchy and the pillows were like a bag of old cotton balls.

wedding, father of the bride, spent two nights, reserved a year in advance, was given the room directly across from the elevators and a noisy ice maker, room was dirty, glassware and trays were sticky, the room itself was very average in style, no fridge, no microwave, no breakfast, $12 parking per day, the entire Hotel was rather dated and worn, the hotel is not what you would expect when paying their rates - would not recommend however, the wedding side of the business was excellent, the in-house wedding planner did a great job in the entire process, - would recommend read more

I found this hotel through hotels.com and so glad we stayed here! From the outside, the hotel is BEAUTIFUL! The inside is a mix of class and history. The hotel is a bit more modern then the rest that we were researching which is my preference. The rooms are very spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. The room overall was perfect. The location is also perfect because you are right in Lincoln Square and are within a quick walk to multiple restaurants and in the center of the "downtown" area. The hotel customer service was great (we didn't really need much) but they were friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again! read more

I have stayed here several times in the past few years and it has usually been acceptable. Today there is clearly no manager involvement. Rooms are not clean and not ready. Their excuse was "we just had a large group check out all at once" but I'm sorry that is the nature of the business. I'm sure they knew this group would be checking out today and that they did not adequately plan staffing. Let's face it, managers are supposed to anticipate staffing needs. I am very disappointed in the front desk personnel as well. They acted as if they could care less. This hotel is a great location but I will have to think long and hard before I stay here again. read more

Fantastic location! Price was decent; expected to pay a little more for the central location and historical status. The Man and I were able to walk just about everywhere. Parking was not free but is located near the hotel. Front desk staff not always friendly. Lady who checked us in definitely had a bite to her. She acted like she was doing us a favor by checking us in. Rooms spacious and modern. Bed very comfortable. Room surprisingly not noisy given all the traffic outside. Housekeeping seemed to do only a half-hearted job. There was a pair of socks left from a previous occupant. Bed was made after our night's stay and towels replenished. However, the garbage cans weren't emptied. Makes me wonder how clean things really are. We didn't try the restaurant or bar. Prices were too high and there were better options in the area. Would stay here again; definitely due to the location. read more

My wife, daughter and I really liked this place. It was very nice and the staff was very helpful. They have a small hotel bar which I thought was the perfect place to finish our day. Terri was our bar tender. She was friendly and entertaining. I give the bar an easy 5 stars. I don't like the parking circumstances nor do I like them limiting my use of the air conditioner. I like it cold but the limits only allowed me to set the system to 68°. The air conditioning is the reason I will look for a different place to stay in March, when we return. For most people, I'm sure it will be fine but I like, what I like. read more

I can't speak for the hotel since I just ate here, but the food is great! The rancher steak is grade A++! The waitress was very attentive and friendly. We showed up 15 minutes before close and yet she rolled out the red carpet. I will come back here! read more

The hotel was absolutely spotless. The bed was clean, room, bathroom, etc. the staff is very friendly and willin to help and inform you of anything. Parking is close and there are spots right in front of the hotel to check in or out, although they are usually full. Parking is validyed for you and you pay the hotel a daily fee, convenience. You're close to everything and within a 0.5 mile walk anything, making it easy to visit the town from your hotel. read more

If you plan on staying here, do it for the location - not the customer service. We got there after a long day of touring and walking around ready to check in at 3:30pm (check in is at 4pm, later than most other hotels) and they told us our room was not ready. Understandable as we were a little early so we walked around some more and returned shortly after 4:00pm to learn our room was still not ready by the specified time. Finally around 4:30pm we were let into our room. This was the bumpy start to a "meh" experience. Room service was accommodating but monotone and the staff was borderline rude at times. However, the room/hotel is very clean, something I did not expect due to how old the building is. Again, I would only stay here to because of the convenience of the location. read more

Overall not a bad stay. Centrally located, they seem to go out of there way for you. Hotel is clean, quiet. Microwave didn't work in room, refridge never got cold. Bartender had personality of lurch from Adams Family. Didn't like had to pay $10 a day for parking. Would stay again. read more

In the heart of downtown Gettysburg. Our room was clean and had plenty of room. Great views to the north. In the middle of good restaurants.

We stumbled on to this place as our first 6 selections were packed, we were glad we did. The food was very good, the service prompt and courteous. We just had apps and lite fare, and all were very tasty. The entrees were a bit pricey, but if the quality and portions were as good as what we ate, well worth it! Will return for a full meal. read more

Perfectly situated in the middle of town. Two blocks from Gettysburg college. Hotel is neat and clean. The lobby is decorated with beautiful chairs which overlook the town. Perfect for grabbing a glass of wine (at their bar)and people watching. The rooftop pool although small is perfect for children. When asked for a cot or extra towels the response time was immediate. Our room was large and for 5 people fit us comfortably. read more

Hotel Gettysburg - Hotels Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

On August 19th, 2017, when I called the Gettysburg Hotel for parking instructions, the receptionist did not answer my question but asked me "weren't the parking instructions ALREADY explained to you?" and told me her name was SALLY. Unbelievably rude! Such a simple question met with hostility. When I said I was not familiar with the parking she insisted on ending the conversation by saying "Do you HAVE ANY MORE questions" in a hurried manner. Why would I ever expect decent service in this hotel, I have never spent the night in Gettysburg and now my child is going to college there and this was the first hotel I called. read more

Overpriced. I was very disappointed with this place. I wish I would of done my research before we stayed here. The website makes it look a lot fancier than it really is. BEWARE read more

We stayed at this hotel based on advise from AAA.. We were shocked that during the busy summer season they had rates for around $150 a night with all fees and taxes included. The hotel is literally in the center of the town so you are close to most attractions. They have a great restaurant downstairs that we loved. The staff was very helpful and the room was very clean. The only issue was the traffic in front of the hotel made it a little difficult to navigate, as it is on a rotary, and the battlefield is too far away to walk to unless you have very comfortable shoes. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel based on the service, price, and historic charm. read more

My husband and I chose the historic Gettysburg Hotel as our wedding venue earlier this month. If you are looking to host an event here or maybe even your wedding, YOU SHOULD DO IT!!!! In addition to being updated, clean, beautiful and featuring all of the typical amenities of a nice hotel, there are three specific features that brought our event from "pretty good" to the (and I quote) "most fun wedding ever." 1. LOCATION. The hotel is situated smack dab in the middle of downtown Gettysburg. Most of our guests were from out of town and had never been to Gettysburg, and many of them took the opportunity to make an extended trip out of it. The days leading up to the event were spent frolicking from eatery to eatery (read: bar), running into family and friends, and hearing tales of easily accessible battlefield tours and sightseeing. People LOVED the central location of the hotel as it meant maximum convenience and maximum fun. 2. INDIVIDUALITY OF VENUE. Some weddings you attend are nicer than others - I think we can all agree on that. But how many weddings have you attended from which you remember specific details? We were married on the train station platform where Abe Lincoln arrived before delivering his iconic address, and our cocktail hour was held within the historic train station. Our reception was held in the hotel's grand ballroom, an elegant room which used to be the Gettysburg National Bank and still features original light fixtures and vault (how cool!). Our guests loved the uniqueness, and so did we (and so did our photographers for that matter). 3. EVENT COORDINATOR FROM THE HEAVENS. If it were not for the hotel's event coordinator, Megan, I would have lost my marbles many times throughout the planning process. Professional, prompt, organized, and understanding, Megan took us through the planning process step by step, checking in with us about our venders, our desires, countless timelines and lists, and all with a clam and caring attitude (she is an EXTREMELY patient person). You know how everyone warns the bride about how a problem or issue (however small) will arise with any wedding? Well, my wedding went off without a hitch, kids! It was amazing, the best day of my life, and my husband and I (and all of our guests) had an AMAZING time. read more

My mom and I have been staying here since I was a kid and we love it. The new renovations are amazing. I think they did a really great job at keeping the Gettysburg historic feel while modernizing the decor. The staff is friendly and the overall atmosphere is very pleasant! The only thing I would say is the windows really, really need to be cleaned from the inside and especially the outside. Each year it becomes harder and harder to see out of them! That is my only complaint and I'm hoping management does something about it soon :) Other than that, we will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I decided on a quick get away this past weekend, August 28-30, 2015. The hotel location is perfect! The staff was friendly. The bar is well appointed. It is walking distance to many eateries and bars. We had a fantastic time! The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is because the windows were completely filthy. We had the Governor Casey Suite in the front of the hotel and wanted to enjoy the view of the center of town, unfortunately our view was nothing but very dirty windows on the outside. We couldn't take pictures and couldn't enjoy the hustle and bustle of the town square. Hire window cleaners!!!!! read more
