Best Western Gettysburg

We got there after 4 and the staff was cheerful and helpful. The breakfast was great. I have paid for food that was not near as good. The eggs were great with cheese and ham. Tyson and Brenda were awesome at keeping everything full and keeping it clean. All in all awesome job from the staff. less

This was my second stay at the Best Western Gettysburg. My first stay was 2 years earlier when it first opened after full construction from scratch. My only complaint then was that the staff was rather aloof but that has changed magnificently. Some of the staff are the same people but they are now very friendly, interact with guests, learn about any special needs, and accommodate them. This improvement was very good to see. The mattress was a bit tired out and worn. Can't imagine after only 2 years so I hope they replace them soon. I woke with a backache the first night and then switched to the other side of the bed for the rest of my stay which was less lumpy. Amenities were fine. Free coffee and tea were available in the lobby all day. Breakfast was plentiful and there was a sign indicating that they offer gluten free and dairy free items upon request. I didn't ask so I don't know what these items are. I do wish that they offered herbal tea though, both at breakfast and in the lobby. Parking is convenient with a large lot. It's within walking distance of a number of attractions, shops, and restaurants so there's less frustration looking for a space to park and then pay and watch the meter. Great hotel, will stay here again next time... just hope there's not a hole in the mattress by then. Also wish the TV sets were bigger. The room is very big and the TV is small. less

This is an extremely beautiful and nice hotel. The staff was extremely accommodating, especially Kerry K. at the front desk. Her attention to detail and efficiency was refreshing. The hotel is only 2 years old and is withing walking proximity (5 minutes) or driving proximity (2 minutes) to the Visitors Museum. The hotel is exceptionally clean, comfortable and new, even the indoor pool area. The only negative was that the indoor pool, not the hotel or pool room itself, is in desperate need of a good scrubbing and cleaning. But, then again, I'm not an indoor pool enthusiast. The hotel overall is great and really close to the battlefield. Breakfast was way above average and it never seemed to be very crowded. I would recommend the Gettysburg Visitors Center to schedule the museum, films, and battlefield tour (use the air conditioned bus in the summer). Monetary prices through the Visitor's Center are very fair I would stay away from a lot of the tourist traps on Steinwehr Ave. and Baltimore St. If you decide to go on a ghost tour go through Mark Nesbitt, very educational and interesting and affordable. I think my son even got a pic of a ghost in the old school building, expect to tip the tour guide though. The air conditioned bus battlefield tour was money well spent, our tour guide (a former Marine) was EXCELLENT!!! Again, money well spent, Don't expect to get into a restaurant between 4-8, we went to Gettysburg Eddies after 9 PM after the ghost tour and had no problem. less

Great hotel, , friendly, nice parking lot for bikes. Within walking distance to many restaurants and tourist attractions. The rooms are spacious and clean. Lobby is nice and well stocked with information about the area. Breakfast is always a bonus. less

We were impressed with this hotel. It was clean, staff was friendly and rooms were well laid out and equipped with everything you'd expect—microwave, fridge, ironing board, blow dryer, single cup coffee maker and plenty of electrical outlets. The bed was amazingly comfortable—I typically don’t sleep well in hotels but slept like a baby right from the start. I appreciated having coffee available in the lobby at all times. The breakfast was decent and in a beautiful room with many windows. The only slight disappointment was not realizing it was biker week so various bikes (many not guests of the hotel) took up many of the parking spots at times, so we had to park in the neighborhood surrounding the building. Other than that, my stay was great and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. TIP: if looking for a quiet family trip to Gettysburg— avoid the 2nd weekend in July. It’s very loud and congested. If you are into motorcycles though—you’ll LOVE it! less
