Nice Hotel

Just needed a place to stay to split up a long trip with the kids. Nice sized and clean rooms. Very nice, but small, outdoor pool. Will stay again.

The ugly

Passing thru...1-night stay but wouldn't stay here again. Pay more and stay somewhere else! Room was not exactly dirty but wasn't clean either. Dated and no frig, no microwave, and WIFI didn't work...no signal. They advertise WIFI. I had work to do on computer and couldn't get staff to deal with "no signal" message...kept telling me it was my computer...it wasn't. I finally gave up.......never again.

Good deal

The hotel was average. We had difficulty opening the bathroom door because it would get stuck every time, and there was an issue with the water pressure. Other then that the room was nice. The hotel lobby had an air of high class, and the breakfast food in the restaurant attached to the hotel was excellent. What we loved the most was the price. We definitely got more then we paid for. We only were there to sleep, so I can't comment on any special services they had.

Howard Johnson, Carlisle PA

Stayed with my son for 5 nights to attend an archery tournament. Room was quiet and adequate. Location was pretty convenient to several good restaurants. Room was adequate but nothing special. Hotel staff was friendly but their English was hard to understand. Room was adequate but nothing special. Everything in the room worked. A microwave would have been nice.
