There are a LOT of hotels, inns, motels and B&B's in PA Dutch country. This one in Lancaster was terrific. Let me start first by saying that those making reservations should ask for a room on the Sun Deck (third floor). Rooms are twice the size as on floors 1 and 2. We had a king bed and there was...

My mother, sister and I stayed at the Fulton Steamboat Inn for a quick weekend getaway. We should have stayed longer. It was my fourth time at the Inn but my mother and sister's first time. My mom loved the decor and character of the entire inn. We also loved our comfortable and clean room and took advantage of the... More

We were surprised to find that the hotel we booked actually looks like an old steamboat from the outside. The lighting and all the extras to create the steamboat look on the outside are fantastic. Matched very nicely with the decor inside the hotel. The choice of wallpaper and fixtures throughout have an authentic steamboat feel. Very cool hotel. Spent... More

This is my first time staying in a hotel that was not a chain (for example: Best Western, Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites) and when my wife and I stayed last week, we could not have been happier. The Fulton Steamboat Inn was spotless and beautifully decorated. They have an exceptional staff, that makes you feel at home. Some of the... More

This place is the best of the best! The Hotel: You pull up to this great looking hotel on the outside. You can tell from the inside that the place has a long history - but it has been well taken care of. The place is super clean. It is the type of place you can walk barefoot and not... More

The location of the Steamboat Inn is scary being situated on the corner of Rt. 30 and 896 and across the street from the Rockvale Outlet Mall. Surprisingly it is quiet and the view from the room was of Amish farms. What a delightful surprise! The interior was so recently renovate that the carpeting in the hallway still had the... More

The Fulton Steamboat is probably the most obvious of the Lancaster area theme hotels, and it's not surprising that my kids wanted to stay there as soon as they saw it. The hotel sits in a great location for many area attractions, and we found it to be a fairly good value by comparison to other area hotels. The hotel... More
