BASICALLY OK, but...

All was basically good, except the toilet was non-functional. I request the same room each visit, but this was the first time I encountered a problem. Staff was very quick to come and plunge, but the problem is much more significant. I will request the same room next time but only if they assure me the toilet has been fixed. WIFI/Internet on my first night was unstable but improved later. Some of this was probably not their problem. Overall I'll go back and hopefully the toilet will have been replaced or fixed.

I was visiting for a work function about 20 minutes away and ended up getting in like midnight instead of 8 pm due to delays and traffic. The Coltob staff made sure I could get in the room and that was such a relief after a long day of headaches...the room is basic, but functional. The breakfast pastry and coffee were a nice perk. This is just minutes from Gettysburg and in the downtown area with shops and restaurants.

Okay for a motel 🏨

Front desk person wasn’t at desk, we had to call to let her know there were 3 people waiting to check in. So called breakfast wasn’t ready. AC was loud, Beds were okay but there was plastic under the sheets so made us sweat 😓 Bathroom clean, shower 🚿 worked. I guess it wasn’t terrible for the great price of $109 tax included.

Last place I would stay in the area for sure.

It’s a last place stay at best, and the ratings must be fake. Only stayed because it was 1 night, but actually thought about sleeping in my van…would have been better on my back. Other rooms look to be long time stayers and that was not expected.

We always stay at the Colton when we go to Gettysburg. The place is always clean, service is great, and the staff is so nice. The location is also great- just far enough removed from the nightlife part of town, but still a quick walk away from it and the battlefield! We cant wait to see y'all again next year!

The smell of skunk weed was overwhelming but after turning the air on and opening the door, the smell was less terrible. The door had clearly been kicked in at some point. The furniture, microwave, and fridge all has a ton of wear but for what it was, it was fine. We brought our own coffee pot, blow dryer, blankets, and towels. I suggest you do the same.

Upon arrival there was a police raid happening in the room right next to us. The police officer said they frequent this motel. There are some that actually live at the motel. My child was terrified and we tried to get a refund since we literally checked in 5 min prior. The owner gave us a terrible time about it, then after the police officer walked into the office while I was on the phone with him he reluctantly agreed. He wanted to charge me a $25 fee. I fought that and got my money back and left immediately! Also, the room was dingy and smelled. There was a dirty ac unit in the window. The woman at the front desk was nice though.
