It was a beautiful rest and I awoke hungry. The Coffee was hot, strong and unbelievably mild. My first thought was to set it down, but energy only changes form, so drank deeply and shook off the paralyzer of a substantially good night's sleep. Oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast at a bar serving instant hotcakes. I was humbled. The interior of the house is striking and eclectic. There are exposed bricks in nearly all corners screaming to be explored. Lighting in my room was unique and awkward to some extent. I would have gone with less minimalist fixtures(track lighting etc.) though the diversity lent itself to differing light preferences. The location is niche on an abundance of scales and a local guide is highly recommended to decide if he/she/they could even consider staying at a chain hotel charging more per night for what passes as posh. John J Jeffries Restaurant, The Fridge, The YMCA and Lombardos are the most accessible utilitarian neighbors. Perfect for the local community to vette a traveller on the road for beauty and adventure without so much pomp, yet boasting all the bells and whistles 😜 . All in all, a hotel in name but frankly, this destination is a standing reservation for a romantic staycassion and no vacancy is my heartbreak. Likely, the next stay here will kick off an amazing hiatus from the search. Don't take my word, Discovery awaits!!! read less

The suite was generously sized, large garden tub and brick decor, warm lighting no harsh LEDs.
Kitchen staff of ONE for our breakfast (due to a call out like most places short staffed the last two years) did a superb job. She was so conscientious but everything was out and ready for guests as planned. I hope they appreciate this woman as she was preparing then washing dishes, doing it all, to keep the guests happy and will no meal time sacrifice. The auto waffle maker prepared fluffy waffles, the best comp breakfast I've seen in awhile.
Beautifully decorated for the holidays inside and out. read less

The hotel has interesting art and architecture which you don’t see in many hotel. That being said when er checked in we were not told about that our room would not be cleaned and the room not refreshed. Secondly there was a heating and cooling issue with the room. All that being said the night manager - Amanda - went above and beyond to accommodate us. I appreciate the boutique hotel attention that she provided us. read less

I could even see the pitching mound! Plus they put a Rose and some nonpareils on your door every night, and if you don't mind spending a little more to have the best farm to table food in Lancaster John J Jeffries is right downstairs and also easily allows you to take meals up to your room... Great location Great amenities best hotel I've stayed at read less

There was a wine cooler, wine glasses and bathrobes that added a nice touch. I would have given a 5, but we felt the beds/pillows we're not comfortable. The mattress was very hard and the pillows small/flat. The room we were in was definitely not soundproof in any way. Other than those things the hotel was very nice and the check in was smooth and friendly. read less

We loved the art, architecture, free continental breakfast and parking. The bathroom is nice. We travel for my husband's strength competitions and I was happy that we found a place that didn't look like a murder took place in the room. The one bad thing is that there is only one elevator but other than that I would recommend and stay here again. read less

My husband and I came back to our room with a rose on the bed and chocolates! Super sweet.
Very clean room and not “cookie cutter” feel. Free parking lot attached, always a plus. Would definitely recommend! read less
