Nice, well cared for hotel Separate pool building so the whole hotel doesn’t smell like a pool Only took a peek into the attached restaurant and it looked nice and comfortable

Included breakfast fits the bill I had a very spacious room that had two queen beds and a separate room with a sleeper sofa and additional TV Staff fulfilled my request to stay on the first floor Beds were comfortable Location to Lancaster and surrounding attractions is convenient

I am from the Philly area and always enjoy spending time in Lancaster I enjoy the calm pace so different from the city also I have good friends there who I love to visit I have stayed at this Best Western 3 times in the last 2 years and am planning a stay for next week when I’ll be in the area for my son’s graduation I truly enjoy this place from the friendly hospitality staff, thorough housekeeping team, on location restaurant option and coupons, full daily hot breakfast and indoor pool and hot tub it is a one stop stay for me

We are always very comfortable and love the convenience of it all Outside of Bed and Breakfast spots this is one of my area favorites I especially enjoy when traveling with an older parent and my large family of kids

No complaints- the room was clean and comfortable Free breakfast was nice- a good selection Seating was limited, but still worked out for us

Ashley is the best! As soon as I heard her on the phone saying my rooms were ready I knew was going to be a good stay I couldn’t get my balcony rooms only negative We went to breakfast in the old mill restaurant at the hotel every day

Small menu but everything on it is good Rooms were clean and cleaned every day the pool was relaxing very crowded with kids later in night Definitely be back soon

Bruce Gilbert

An outstanding, immaculately maintained property near Bird-In-Hand and close to Lancaster Everything about our stay was exceptional The seniors only wing with spacious rooms made for a very pleasant get away

The “view” out of our window (see picture below) of the surrounding pastoral farms did not disappoint The buffet breakfasts with made-to-order omelets expertly prepared by Rosa were simply great We did not need lunch 😊!!

Christine Milchak

My husband and I have stayed here over several times and absolutely love it!! The staff are always friendly and welcoming Krystal at the front is the absolute best! Always friendly smiling Krystal is always helpful and we feel goes above and beyond

It’s because of her up beat attitude and willingness to help is one of the reasons we come back Thank you Amishview inn for helping our family make great memorable memories

My wife and I just stayed at the Artist’s Inn for the second time This visit was very different because last time we stayed in one of the separate houses and this time we stayed in the main house Our first stay was really nice, but this visit was amazing

Jan could not be a better host Not only does she prepare truly amazing breakfasts, but her attention to detail makes every facet of the stay wonderful Jan’s touch was reflected in everything from homemade cookies to extra wonderful linens and toiletries The house itself is wonderfully appointed Our room had a very comfortable king sized bed, a jacuzzi tub and a nice sitting room Jan is very knowledgeable about the town and surrounding areas and even though we’ve been to Lancaster a zillion times, this really helped us plan our days while there If you’re looking to be pampered at a real B&B, this is the real deal The only downside was we didn’t get to meet Bruce, but I’m sure we’ll meet him next time

Jen and Jason Smith

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at the Artist’s Inn in February 2022! It was our first B & B experience and I don’t know that we could ever stay anywhere else Jan and Bruce are amazing hosts: friendly, accommodating, helpful, you name it Just good people

There was a snowstorm the weekend we were booked to arrive and Jan called personally to see if we would need to reschedule Jan’s breakfasts are amazing — they kept me full all day We so enjoyed chatting with them over breakfast The historic house is charming Our suite was adorable and I enjoyed the whirlpool bath Can’t say enough good things! We live six hours away but definitely plan to go back

Denise Robinson

For my family and I, this was our first trip to Pennsylvania Wasn’t sure where to stay I came upon the Sisters house, and keep going back to it, luckily our dates were perfect for three nights in Sophie side! When we arrived , we knew right away we made right choice to stay here! Clean, decorated nicely, funny books to read, food for snacking, they thought of everything to make our stay so comfortable! Even supplied laundry soap to wash clothes, it’s the little things they thought of that made us appreciate this lovely place! We would gladly stay here again! Thank you so much for your fine hospitality! The Robinson & Pastore family

Pros:Beautiful hotel, definitely geared towards business Next time will explore the area around it Nice room, spacious, nice bathroom

Cons: staff at the Starbucks was not friendly They seemed bothered to serve guests (Not a reflection of actual hotel so will not lose a start for this, but training is needed for staff who works at a landmark downtown hotel)

David Bishop

We had a great time at this hotel After we parked o/s the hotel, we were met by Don Brown the bellman Don was very friendly, welcoming and told us about places to see and places to eat

He took our bags on a cart and showed us to our room after we checked in Don is a great first impression for the hotel We were checked in by a very friendly person at the desk She upgraded us to a better view from our room And the view was spectacular We enjoyed our stay up until Sunday morning breakfast at the Two Kings restaurant We arrived there Sunday am and found it to be a buffet breakfast Which was ok but all the food was cold and the attendants weren’t very welcoming

Jeremy Clarke

The hotel was nice Clean rooms, poor water pressure It is perfectly located to enjoy downtown Lancaster

However, I found that my tips for food service were altered + 300%!When I called the hotel to discuss with a manager several times I got voice mail and never received a call back after 3 monthsI will not stay here again as a result If anyone does, keep your receipts and make sure tips match what’s charged yo your account!Very disappointed that management would not return a platinum lifetime membership calls to share this concern I didn’t even want reimbursement, just wanted to share the concern so others didn’t experience the same theft

I would definitely recommend this facility The grounds and rooms were clean and inviting The staff were very helpful and really welcoming

Convenient and close to food and stores for our travel needs We travel quite a bit and this is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in this price range Well worth the money if you’re in the area Many thanks to Kim and the rest of the staff

Robert Bos

Hilton posts stickers on the bathroom mirrors that they are happy to provide housekeeping services upon request Not this hotel! Initially we were told they do not clean during your stay( we were here 5 nights) Then we were informed they require one day advance notice to exchange used towels, empty trash, and vacuum the entryway

We were offered a vacuum to clean our own room:( The front desk also told us the recycling gets dumped into the trash:(

Our first time at a B&B, my fiance and I went to get some rest and relaxation for the weekend and that’s just what we got Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious and woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking Everything was clean and love the fresh cookies and coffee stations

Located close to all the shopping and sights Wish we were able to have gotten apt with spa, but will next time Also love how staff is always available if needed, but also leave you alone otherwise Will definitely make it an annual outing

Robert Davis II

This Inn was spectacular!! We have frequented a number of Inn’s throughout the country, and were extremely pleased The rooms were comfortable, inviting, clean and warm! The amenities were lovely, and the breakfast delicious Tucked in a quaint corner in a prime location, the extremely quaint Inn and Spa at Intercourse Village was a perfect place for us to spend the night

Our hostess was terrific, engaging, conversant and made us feel like family! I would highly recommend this establishment It is reasonable and welcoming!

Jenn P

I just got home from a 4 night stay and everything was fantastic! Carl and Jennifer were so kind and accommodating and it was a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing time I enjoyed the daily breakfasts and cookies and coffee!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway We stayed in the Jade room It had a nice jacuzzi tub/shower

The bed sits low to the floor, but the room is nice The hosts were very nice with cheesecake and tea/coffee available 24/7 My husband enjoyed the breakfast each morning I am a pickier eater, but they were great trying to accommodate me and make sure I had enough to eat Overall a great experience!

Jennifer Vazquez

This place is ideal if you just want a very romantic time away with your partner The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated and the bed was comfy We stayed in the Amber room and between the full body massage jetted shower, the 2 person jacuzzi tub and the fireplace that shared a wall with the bathroom and the bedroom, it was perfect for our anniversary getaway

The owners are super friendly and pay attention to details There was a bouquet of flowers waiting for us and a beautiful handwritten card Oh, did I mention the breakfast part of this B&B? Delicious and filling We’ll be back

Laurie Shirey

This was our first time at the Amethyst Inn and it was wonderful! The Amber room was spectacular although I agree with a previous reviewer who mentioned that it was a little awkward how close it was to the dining room We really enjoyed it though! The fireplace in the bathroom and the bedroom was very romantic as well as the hot tub for two The innkeepers were wonderful and the food was delicious

Andrew told us that the peaches were from an Amish farm down the road and they were so good, made even better by being served with homemade whipped cream! What a relaxing time together for us!

We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful This will be our hotel of choice for future visits to Lancaster The location is near most everything and easy access Highly recommended!

M Preciado

We stayed at this hotel for two nights The service at the front desk was hit or miss The hotel is comfortable and in an excellent location

Very close to everything The hotel is 100% solar powered, as per the sign at the entrance Nice bonus There is an excellent outdoor space with a fireplace The gentlemen bartender was excellent Very helpfulTips:1) Luggage carts There are too few luggage carts If you get there at peak hours you may have to do without At one point, I asked the front desk clerk if she could have someone try to locate one, and she said there where none available2) This is a pet friendly hotel We took our dog with us and there is a $7500 fee per stay The odd thing was that there are no doggy bags When I asked the front desk, she assured me that there were doggy bags at both side entrances There were none I went back to the desk and told her that one doggy bag holder was empty, and the other one was missing, there were two holes in the wall where it should have been She found3) The doggy bag holders look like mailboxes and are attached to the post outside the door See the picture4) EV Charger- There is only one

Tracy Needham

Had a really great stay here We wanted to be near Dutch Wonderland and Hershey Park The hotels in Hershey were pricey, so we stayed here and drove to Hershey Park – about 40 minutes

It’s either new or newly renovated Very nice room – well appointed, clean There was a microwave and fridge No safe which I like to have Plenty of parking A fire pit outside I highly recommend it if you’re in the area Very nice, helpful staff Due to COVID, they only service the room every few days, which was fine with us

Everything was absolutely phenomenal! I would recommend Lititz Springs Inn to anyone looking for a reception venue, or for any other large gathering They are incredibly affordable and the level of service and attention to detail is top notch Jeff made the entire process fun and enjoyable – we always looked forward to our meetings

He answered any questions we had and handled any changes so well The staff here is fantastic and will truly make your wedding the best day ever For weeks afterwards, people told us how fun it was, how delicious the food was, and how helpful the entire staff was Being able to stay upstairs after the wedding was also wonderful There isn’t anything I’d change about it!My husband and I also often eat here and at Bulls Head – it’s one of the reasons we chose to have our reception here The food is always delicious and the staff in both restaurants are fantastic We love going here!

Mary Ann Brown

I stayed 1 night at the Litiz Springs Inn and Spa The lobby was very quaint with a sitting area I loved the room set up with the sleeping area then a sitting area with a desk then the bathroom area

The room was very clean and smelled freshThe staff is outstanding I forgot something, in the room, that was very valuable to me They found it and mailed it to me They took the time to package it in many layers of wrappings to make sure it arrived unbrokenI’m filled with so much gratitude 🙏Thank youI would definitely stay at the Inn againThey also had dining areas inside which was more formal, a bar earache and an outdoor sitting areaJust an amazing place!!

sheldon klinger

The building is absolutely beautiful The food quality and service is much lower than averageThey had two tomatoe based soups, one being Minestrone and the other tomatoes bisque

Both were not good, even for those who like tomatoes I was told that the crab cakes are great, but they were mostly filler The lamb was tough and the sides were mediocre, to be positive No one at our table thought that the food was even average The dessert was below average, at bestThere are so many better choices in the area I have no problem paying a premium for great food This place is high in price and extremely low in food qualityThe service was ok She gave one of our party an attitude The service was good at times, and very slow at othersIt is my opinion that they need to hire a good chef and improve the food quality drastically Also, they need better management, in my opinion The place has definitely declined recently
