Lots of things to do nearby. I would say the only con was the pillows. They were very small and flat for a king sized bed. Upgrade those, and it would be great. Loved the breakfast!

Our family of four only needed a one night stay while visiting Lancaster for NIT’s. The price was reasonable, room was clean, beds were comfy & the staff was super friendly. We would definitely stay again!
