The staff were friendly but......We had pre-booked, so they knew we were coming and arriving late, yet the heat was completely shut off when we got there. ZERO degrees. Tired after 13 hours of driving, we arrived to a cold, musty smelling room. Here were the issues...something splattered up the bathroom wall and shower curtain, dead flies in the bathroom,... More

Rooms need to updated. I would pay a little extra,to be comfortable and not smell old urine. Will not being staying again.

I found this hotel online and read the reviews on it. Although they don't take reservations online, I called them and made our reservation. It is at a good location, it's very clean, and the room was spacious. The staff, which I think are family, were extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area and of directions to different places we... More

Older, small motel. A little outdated, but very clean. Staff welcoming and friendly. Would stay again. We stayed in a king room that was very spacious. Had nice sized table and 2 wing-backed chairs. Last minute choice, but well pleased. Small motel, so they were booked for the following night or we would have stayed a second night without hesitation.

The Garden spot is a small Motor Inn along bustling route 30. This location while a bit noisy, is close to all the places you want to go to in Lancaster county The people that run this place are very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and the bed I had was fine. I like being able to park... More

A great hotel all-around. The best part: they close for the night. Last week, the owners went home around 9 p.m. and turned on the no vacancy sign. Consequently, almost no one pulled into the property; nol unloading of bags, gunning of motors, slamming of trunks and doors--all of the noise in the night that disturbs your sleep. Fabulous. If...

My husband and I only stayed one night during Columbus Day Weekend. We picked this motel just by sight traveling a mile or so on Route 30. Sure glad we did. The price was excellent for a very clean room with a comfortable bed. I'm sorry I don't remember the woman's name who greeted us; but she was very friendly.... More

In vicinity of Dutch Wonderland my family found this amazing discovery. A row of rooms facing the road, well lit and safe. Very clean rooms and premises, well run by the sisters of the family that has had this inn for 60 years. They offer breakfast for an additional charge which the sisters make themselves. If you prefer a quiet,... More

Drove into Lancaster looking for a place to stay near Dutch Wonderland. This little place caught our eye and we pulled in. We were greeted immediately and checked in. This place was impressively clean!!!! You can tell that the workers take pride in what they do. It was very quiet and peaceful in spite of being on the main road... More
