You made a great choice in picking this hotel. I'll be there myself next month. The double queen rooms in the main building are very roomy. They are nicely decorated, and they are very, very clean. The breakfast is great for a freebie. They have hard boiled eggs, croissant egg and ham sandwiches, breakfast burritos, make your own waffles, cold and hot cereals. Bagels, bread, english muffins, fruit, and doughnuts, muffins. Juice , milk , coffee, and tea. Also yogurt.It's a very family orientated place, with an indoor and outdoor pool. It's probably the nicest place in the area, without going for a resort type of place. Willow Valley gets great reviews, but it's more of a resort, with resort prices. The best western eden inn, is also very nice, pretty rooms, with very modern touches, but not the warmth and the homey feeling as in the revere inn. You must have noticed there is never a bad review of this place, vs. the others, where there are always mixed reviews. There is nothing to find fault with in the revere inn. Enjoy your stay, and if you see a large group of women in the breakfast room, or wheeling up the luggage carts filled with the days shopping, you'll know it's my group there. We go on twice a year shopping trips, and always stay here.

Thanks so much, you're right, I did notice that there are no bad reveiws of this place. I have stayed at the Eden resort and it was nice, but pricey. I usually like to get a suite with the kids, since I get up early and they don't, but we're not looking to spend so much on this trip. BTW, have to you ever been on the ghost trip walking tour ? If so, how is it ?

Actually, I was on the ghost tour that leaves from Mrs. Penn's shop in Strasburg. It was alright. It's been many years, so I can't really comment on it now. By the way, the revere has 2 bedroom suites, but they are hard to get, usually sold out, months in advance, but they also have family suites. Not really 2 separate rooms, it's a very long room with 2 queens, dresser, tv, and a half wall with a pull out sofa bed, chair, desk, etc, and another tv. Does give you more room, and they are not usually very expensive. Enjoy.

Please don't go to Lancaster! This is the Puppy Mill Capital of the U.S.

I stayed at the Revere last summer in a family suite and will be there again the week of 8/18/08. We loved it last year and are looking forward to our stay again. I didn't see the standard rooms, but the family suite was very spacious. 2 queen beds separated by a 1/2 wall from a living room with recliner, chair and sleeper sofa. There was a refrigerator. There were 2 televisions in the room. One on each side of the 1/2 wall. I was also told that either the microwave or toaster in the breakfast area was accessible 24 hours a day if you need it for your kids to eat something.

My kids (3 1/2 year old twins) are also very picky eaters and both found things to eat at their breakfast.

The indoor pool was very nice and there are laundry facilities which are always good when traveling with kids.

I definitely recommend this hotel.

Hi Brooklyn mom of twins... If you see 6 crazy ladies piling out of the hotel with van and suv packed to the roofs, you'll know it's me, with shopping group. We'll be there from the 15, leaving the 18th... (lol).

I'll be on the lookout MittMott. We are checking in on the 18th. I have to thank you because your rave reviews for the hotel as well as your pointing out that the hotel didn't have negative reviews was what prompted me to stay there last year instead of country inn and suites.

Thanks.

You're welcome. Enjoy your trip. I have to say about the Revere Inn, it's true, I do rave about it over all other places. I have found that after about 25 years of visiting the area, and staying in many of the places there, including many of the mentioned places, that the only place that consistently performs is this place. You aren't getting the upscale granite there, (and I'm a hotel snob, and only usually like these type of places), but they are always spotless, tastefully decorated, not old, just plain pretty country, a good value money wise, with a nice breakfast and location, and the truth is, there isn't a place in the area that can boast of that. I've stayed in the eden inn, and it's nice, very modern, etc, but it doesn't have the same feel as staying in the revere inn. We stay at least twice a year, and sometimes more. Again, enjoy your trip.
