Country Inn of Lancaster

Went there this weekend… it was very nice free coffee and orange and apple juice all day long… entire family went for 2 days… pool and hot tub was nice staff was great only downside is there was no hot breakfast… just bakery items and boiled egg… that’s it… and Monday was no breakfast at all… weird? Anyway it was nice but I think we prefer to stay somewhere that was a little cleaner and had a breakfast everyday .also there was free popcorn… nice but I’m sure there is better. Also the porch was nice with the rocking chairs. Recommend for a cheap trip but don’t expect to be blown away

This Inn goes with the charm and simplicity of the Lancaster area. It has a rustic feel and warmth like when you go to grandma’s place. The place is clean, the rooms are simple and nice, and it’s located close to many of the tourist hot spots and Amish farmlands in the Lancaster area.
Breakfast is alright, not too glamorous, but it fills you up for a good start of the day. The staff are friendly, courteous, and helpful, especially with area recommendations. Good place to stay.

We took our daughter to Lancaster for a close-​to-​home trip. Aside from the beautiful sites of Lancaster, this hotel is the best way to go. The beds were so comfortable that it felt like home; We had to set an alarm to wake up! The popcorn in the lobby was amazing, as was the continental breakfast. The variety of food, juice, and hot drinks was better than expected. The pool was an added bonus, considering most of the Amish tourism ends a little early. The staff was super friendly and gave us great tips on where to explore and eat. The room was clean and towels were replaced daily. I don’t want to be biased but I’m hesitant to give another place a try. We were more than satisfied and hope to get back ASAP!

Clean, clean! Thank you
Adorable place. All amenities.
Best part was the staff– front desk always! Friendly, busy!!! From check in to check out

Conveniently located if you want to visit the Amish country side. It’s clean and quiet. Aside from the complimentary breakfast, you get 24 hours coffee/​tea and popcorn in the afternoon. Would highly recommend.

Look. It’s no Rodeo drive Hilton but it’s nice digs with a comfy bed. Sure the place looks «rustic» ok a bit dated. But for the price and the service. Not to mention clean sheets and decently clean rooms. I’ll be happy. The whirl pool is not whirling at the moment but it is heated. The pool is not heated either so be cautious. Parking is good and you can miss the turn off if you’re not paying attention as the front signage is not lit up at night.

The lobby was great looking and has a rustic feel all around. The staff is very friendly and down to earth. Now for the reasons why I rated them a two…
The comforters felt and looked worn and tired, the brown sheet was full of holes and was not soft to the touch, the sheet was clean but again felt very worn. The bathroom was clean except for a small curly hair near the sink… Yeah not sure what happened there but the manager should inspect the rooms before releasing them. We had the displeasure of having a balcony with a terrible view (tavern, parking lot, major highway and overgrown grass across from room. Our balcony had seen better days for sure (railing is hanging on by a nail, bird poop everywhere, deck planks are uneven causing trip hazards but was has the beat, is the combination of nails and screws of different length that want to pierce your foot!)
Oh, and fix the wifi! I had to piggyback from the knight’s inn to check my e-​mail!
I would stay here only if I was in dire need, otherwise no.

Really great hotel near Dutch Wonderland. Rooms were pretty nice, staff was very accommodating, and it was a very pleasant experience.
We were thinking of staying at one of the larger chain hotels but I’m glad we decided to stay here. Would definitely recommend it to anyone passing through the area.

My parents and I were in the general Lancaster area and wanted to stay for one night at a hotel. We decided to stay here due to the location and the fact that it’s close-​by to numerous restaurants and two outlet complexes (via US-​30). We were checked-​in by a cheerful employee at the front desk in the lobby area. After a few moments, we proceeded to our room.
Our room had a rustic appearance, as indicated by the wooden walls, moldings, and bed frames. That, along with the cleanliness of the room was really nice! It contained two comfortable beds, a TV, an alarm clock radio, some drawers, a table with two chairs, and a storage area for the hanging of clothes. Of course, we can’t forget about the complimentary mini-​fridge! The fridge worked well and we were able to store bottles of water and leftovers from a restaurant.
We then left for the outlets and dinner through the lobby area. The lobby area contained two table sets with comfy chairs scattered about and a fireplace (non-​lit). It also contained a complimentary popcorn stand (didn’t consume, but that idea was cool). The lobby area was also where complimentary self-​serve coffee, orange juice, and water were available for ²⁴⁄₇. This was awesome, and the area overall looked like a relaxing place to hang out.
After our outing, we came back and spent the remainder of the night in the indoor pool area. The pool area itself contained one big swimming pool and one small hot tub. The temperatures for both the pool and hot tub were reasonably comfortable. The pool area closed at 10:30pm. This was where things started turning into a «mixed bag»…
«Hot Tub Haven With Rowdy Moments» — It felt really good sitting in the hot tub with the bubble jets massaging myself. Ahh, yeah. But there were times when kids from the tournament group BELOW the age of 15 were in here being loud, splashing, and even JUMPING in. Really? They weren’t suppose to be here, as indicated by the sign. Other times, they decided to jump in the regular pool and engage in horseplay (jumping on each other). Their parents (or custodians) were there, but did nothing. Then three old ladies came into the hot tub, and one of them took matters into her own hands by blocking the kids from coming in and reinforcing the sign. While this resulted in more relaxation, her action turned my comfortable hot tub spot into a front row seat for live drama.
«Total Drama Poolside» — Apparently, the immature kids that were part of the tournament group told their parents and/​or custodians outside about the old lady blocking the whirlpool due to the posted rule and hatred of bad behavior. As a result, two female custodians and a male confronted the old lady, which resulted in a heated argument about kids in the hot tub and rowdy behavior (that the custodians thought that there was nothing wrong with). An employee came, broke up the argument, and told the underage kids that they could enter the hot tub (by JUMPING) while talking to both sides. Then the annoyed old lady told me that the employee said that the sign is wrong and there was nothing uncivil with the kids’ bad behavior. This was total BS. If the sign was wrong, then why is it still there? Other people and kids could have got hurt from their violent behavior. The fact that the custodians and the hotel thought that the malicious behavior was okay (despite posted sign), and the immature kids below the age on the sign being in the hot tub is permissible was APPALLING (if they were well-​behaved — I wouldn’t care). Shame on the hotel and tournament custodians for allowing this behavior! (–1.5 stars)
«Faulty WIFI» — The free WIFI only worked when I entered the hotel. After that, for the remainder of my stay, it just wouldn’t load up any web page or any part of the Unilocal or FB apps. I had to switch to my mobile data to check both of the apps. Disappointing. (–0.5 stars)
«Good Night» — We slept really well that night. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We heard no noise from the outside of our rooms at all. Nothing to complain, here. :)
«Om Nom Nom» — The next morning, we went to the complimentary continental breakfast. The room itself was small with a limited amount of tables and chairs, a TV that showed the news and an area for food. The food consisted of packaged cereal, bagels & toast with a toaster & condiments, donuts, muffins, Pop Tarts, Nutra Grain bars, 2% milk, berries, and Danon yogurt. Nothing tasted stale here, and the berries were FRESH. The orange juice tasted fine and the coffee was tasty with the hot cocoa mix mixed in. We walked out of there feeling happy.
Overall this was an okay experience. The water temperatures were comfortable, we slept really well, and the complimentary breakfast was excellent. However, they need to fix their free WIFI signals since a lot of people couldn’t load up the web pages. They also need to monitor the behavior of violent kids in the pool and address the parents or custodians about this issue.

Been back at least once a year — every year. The place does not disapoint. Its not the Ritz but its a good, clean family place. Centrally located and reasonably priced. Rocking chairs on the balconies and a half way decent free continental breakfast. We will be back!!!

Stayed here for our daughter’s basketball tournament. Clean room, helpful, friendly staff, nice breakfast selection. Easy, less than 15 minute drive to Spookynook Sports Complex. Definitely coming back.

Nice clean quaint hotel in the heart of amish country yoy can get to all the local attractions very easily I would recommend this hotel no problem

Just spent two nights in this charming inn and the only thing I could find that could be better is that if they are going to have blinds on their windows, they should dust them. I would say that is a pretty minor flaw. Everything else was wonderful, from the friendly /​caring staff, to the room, to the plentiful breakfast; nice queen beds with substantial pillows. Yeah! Easy highway access and very central to many local activities. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Great place, right in the center of alot of tourist type of things. Close to outlets for shopping, near the Amish, with numerous places to eat. Good breakfast daily, great staff and lots of parking.

We’ve been staying here everytime we come to Dutch Wonderland. Friendly staff, clean rooms, great pool = Happy customer always.

This is our 3^rd time staying here.(There are 5 of us) They are some of the most accommodating people we have had the pleasure to be served by. We have never had a problem that couldn’t be solved immediately. The room we stay in have always been clean and well kept. We only stay in no smoking rooms and our rooms have never had an odor. I have traveled through most of the US and when in Lancaster this is the only place we stay.

Run. Don’t walk. This hotel is dirty, stinky, dank and dark. There is much better value for your money elsewhere. The room was dank, the beds Very Old; there was a silverfish on my pillow when I pulled off the dank bed covers. The wallpaper wept and bubbled, the art work was warped (assuming from the dank humidity). The mini fridge didn’t work but did kick out quite a stench. The bathroom had chipped toilet and floor and odd faucets that were difficult to work. The room seemed tired, ridden hard and put away wet. The halls are dark and creepy. The most direct route to the pool was closed «due to renovations» (we were in a renovated room). The breakfast was poor, the coffee absolutely undrinkable (and I’m not that picky), the juice watery and sharp tasting. Don’t stay here — lots of other options nearby.

Run around at front desk reservation. Room was filthy with cigarettes and half earn apricot pit. Awful!

DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL! PERIOD.
First of all, we know that there are always both sides to online reviews. Either people love it or hate it. Unfortunately, this is a true-​to-​life HORROR story.
If you value your checkbook and safeguarding you money, do NOT sleep here!
We are an honest family of three, (Husband, wife and 3 ½ year old daughter). We came for our daughter’s first time to Dutch Wonderland, (which by the way, was absolutely fantastic, wonderful and a complete blast! =)
But for this NIGHTMARE, Country Inn of Lancaster hotel secretly charged $ 100.02 right after we left (according to our bank PNC) and falsely accused us of STEALING PILLOW SHAMS! Four pillow shams! Can you believe this? LIke we would take a flipping pillow cover???
An absolute flipping nightmare. Our bank was overdrawn and charges applied all because they charged us (on Saturday).
It boils down to the INCREDIBLY IMMATURE and bad-​attitude manager named Kevin (what a joke that this person is even a manager!) We had an issue even when we first got to the place give over some MIS-​information that was given to us WEEKS before we came. They do NOT have their act together.
Of course, this is an unlawful and wrong thing they are doing by charging our card for something we did not do. Either the head Housekeeper who is covering her/​his own behind by lying or due to incredible carelessness or the overweight, non-​conscienced Kevin the manager was behind all this. Personally, we are confident that Kevin, the manager at Country Inn of Lancaster is responsible for this hurtful fiasco and we are in process of seeking legal options. (wasting our time to do this of course)
From the get-​go, it was RUDE RUDE RUDE. These folks obviously don’t care about any form of customer service. They watch each other’s backs, but they literally STABBED our finances in the back.
Yes, the hotel was cute, but we would NEVER in our lifetime recommend this hotel to even our enemies. If we could afford a lawyer, we would sue this place for such a wrongdoing as they did to us as a family. These people should not be allowed to operate a business.

We stayed here when visiting Amish country. I thought it was reasonably priced ($ 69 for a Sunday) for a room with two queen beds. They also serve a free unhealthy (donuts, bagels, etc.) continental breakfast in the morning. Close to everything in Lancaster and Amish country. I liked that they have a pool and a nearby restaurant, too. Good for people with children. I’d stay here again.
