Literally the scariest room I have ever encountered in my life. Burn holes in sheets, no bed protectors on mattress or pillows. It smelled awful. No remote. The smoke detector was hanging off the wall.  It was dirty, smelly, sketchy and waited forever for check in. The shower curtain was dirty, the only redeeming quality was the water was scalding hot. Carpet filthy, smelly, they had air freshener trees hung up in room.

Stuff nightmares are made of

We always stay at this hotel when visiting Lancaster.  We like the friendly staff and the clean room.  This time we were greeted by a friendly young man named Steven.  He was very kind.  He did let us use the front door due to my husband having to use the cane.  The 2nd day we met the housekeeper Peggy, she gave us plenty of supplies so that we had enough towels and soap for our stay.  We enjoyed the after the holiday sales at the Tanger Outlet stores.  They now had a new Jersey Mike and Chipotle restaurant in front of the stores.  This trip we had time so we went to the Amish stores in Intercourse town to pick up some great decoration stuff.  Gald we drove than to fly anywhere far right now with all the flights being cancelled.

Clean Motel and Great Staff

We had stayed at this hotel in the past when we visited Lancaster Amish area.  This time due to covid the lobby was closed off, I guess to protect everyone.  The staff was very nice, especially Joe the front desk guy.  He explained what was open and what was closed. Our room smelled clean and the beds very nice.  We had to wear our masks everywhere in town. We shopped and relaxed since the lock down was over but heard it maybe enforced again. What a crazy year!  We definatley can not wait till its over !  We wanted to go to Florida but decided to drive so we did not get stuck anywhere.

Excellent Hotel/ Friendly Staff

So I'll start with the good things; 1) It's cheap. We spent a week for 350. 2) Location. It is adjacent to several roads, and has a 24hr store across the street. It's kind of at the edge of the Rte. 30E "strip."

The rooms are in serious need of touch up repairs. I fixed the TP holder myself! The 1st room we were sent to hadn't had the refrigerator cleaned up inside-there was a quart of hardened milk! Small freezer frozen solid with old food stuck inside. We were kindly relocated to another room, but this filthy 'frig wasn't cleaned up, because I heard the complaining 2 days later with someone else.

But the atmosphere is terrible. There is only one way to enter the building, Smokers are supposed to stay 15' from door, but we often had to work our way through the crowd, which was pressed right up to the door. People live there! Small school buses drive through the lot. 

Late nights are awful-loud cavorting in the hallway after midnight, maybe because a bar is across the street. One family with a small toddler, maybe 4 years, regularly ran down the hall yelling around 11:30 p.m.

The overall nature of the crowd there made us very uncomfortable. Maybe a lot has changed since Covid, but things could be much better.

Oh, yes! And I can't forget one of the housekeepers which I dubbed, "The Mask Nazi." You'd better wear a mask around her, or she will flip. No matter what one's opinion is of the mask requirement, you'd think that someone in customer service should know how to use tact. We avoided her greatly, and she was the cause of several loud disturbances for us.

My advice? Don't go there if you value your rest! There are other inexpensive motels around.

So happy to leave!

We keep going back to this small hotel because the staff are friendly and the place clean.  We were treated by an older gentleman named Jim.  He was the most polite person I have ever met in my life.  After check in we were directed to the back entrance to our room.  The room was on the first floor, which we had requested.  The housekeeping staff informed us that due to the pandemic they would give us any items we needed but would not enter the room during our stay.  My husband and I definately understood their situation.  Some of the attraction like the Strasburg Railroad was still running , but with limited capacity.  Our favorite place the Sight and Sound theater was not open.  We hope to go back next year to see the new show.  Over all a good trip during a crazy time.

Great Friendly Staff

I stayed one night with my girlfriend and another friend while attending an event in nearby Manheim.  The room was clean and well made-up (with adequate towels, pillows, soap, etc.), and it smelled good.  I interacted with 3 different front desk people (had to stop back because I had left something in the room) all were as friendly and helpful as you could want.  The room had a nice extra rolling table that I was able to roll between the two beds to play games on.

There was still room for improvement.  The refrigerator was pretty loud (sounded like a dishwasher); the smoke detector appeared to be a museum piece (they need to be replaced every 10 years); and the walls within the room were very thin (you could hear all bathroom sounds).  This review is within the context of a budget hotel, and within that context the room was excellent.  I'd happily stay there again.

Better Than You'd Expect for the Money

Arrived 8-28-19 really late, It's an older hotel, clean and quiet. Received a very pleasant greeting and conversation by Joe at the front desk, who made us feel warm and welcomed. He answered all our questions, and concerns, even though it was late. Entire staff was friendly which made for a pleasant stay. Right on Lincoln Hwy allowing easy access to restaurants, outlets, stores and other attractions.Wawa's is right next door, ( a gas station and like a 7-eleven, with great prices). I will stay here again.

Friendly staff

We  stayed at this hotel one night for a baseball tournament and it was fine.  The room could have benefited from a little cosmetic updates, but since we were only there to sleep (literally for about 8 hours) I was not that concerned because it seemed clean.  Very limited cable TV options.  Breakfast is basically coffee and wrapped (store bought) pastries and maybe some fruit.  There is a WaWa next door that is handy.

Adequate Lodging

Though dated, the room was SPOTLESS! Bed was comfortable, 4 pillows on each bed.. TV had a decent selection of cable channels. Room had microwave and fridge, iron and board, and haridryer. I was concerned about noise being placed just off the lobby next to soda and ice machines, but there were no issues. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had selection of bagels, individual pastries and muffins, fruit, coffee, tea, hot cocoa. No juices. Located on Rt 30 between a Friendly's and a Wawa - so you can get food any time of day! Outlet mall minutes away. I stayed for an event in Lancaster, it was a very easy drive into the city center. Would definitely recommend. Place is basic, but well cared for.

Would stay again. Convenient to Lancaster center

We stayed at this motel last year and decided to stay again for my son's basketball tournament. The place was only a few miles away from the courts and like last year clean. However we did have a problem with our toilet, but the staff took care of it pretty quick.
