Econo Lodge Gettysburg Pennsylvania PA. Best Hotel Deals & Reviews

Date of Stay: July, 2008

On July 8th my 17 year old daughter and my mother checked in to the Econolodge Motel in Gettysburg (717-334-4208). The next morning they checked out and continued their travel. Shortly after leaving my daughter realized she left her digital camera on the bed. She immediately called the motel and told them she had left the camera on the bed. They told her it was not found. She called back several times Tuesday and Wednesday and each time was told by both the manager and other employees that the camera was not found. On Thursday, July 10th they checked back into the same hotel on the return trip home. My daughter asked about the camera again. She saw it in a draw at the front desk. The manager said she did not know anything about the camera. My daughter insisted that this was her camera and insisted they return it to her. When she got it back it was missing the memory card. The manager said she had no knowledge of the missing card. Friday morning July 11th I called the hotel and spoke with the manager. She said that they gave her the camera last night. When I questioned her about not notifying my daughter that it had been found she said they had to move the bed and found it behind the headboard. As it was left on the foot of the bed I doubted the truth of her explanation. She had no explanation of why they did not phone my daughter when they found it. When I questioned whether it would have been returned if they had not come back to this hotel and seen it first hand. She had no explanation of how the memory card was missing other than it must have fallen out. When I explained that to remove it, one would need to press a button and then press another button inside the opened door to release the card. That it would have to be done deliberately she had no explanation. I notified her that if this was not resolved I would post a review with this story on hotel website. She told me she did not care. I told her that since her employees were the only one with access to this camera that it was clearly taken by an employee and she and the other people my daughter had spoken with by phone had lied to her. She had no explanation. After hanging up with me she called my elderly mother in her room and asked her to come to the office. The manager was unhappy that someone had called and complained that the caller was angry. Although I can agree I was unhappy with the situation, the conversation had been respectful. The manager offered no resolution to my mother. She insisted that the camera was found only when they pulled the bed from the wall. She could not explain why they did not call the cell phone or my mother’s home number, which was left with the front desk. My mother stated that she was concerned with who would have possession of a 17-year-old girls photos and what they would do with them. The manager was clear that she did not want negative postings but offered no resolution. At check out my mother paid the full bill. The manager was present with a young man. He questioned why anyone would take the memory card. My mother also had this same concern. She also reiterated that she believed this camera would not have been returned if they had not stopped back and seen it in the office. They did not offer any accommodations to resolve this situation.

The location of restaurants, and retail stores. Close to restaurants, retail and gas stations. Needs better sound proofing you could hear the other guests.

Very nice hotel for the price. Excellent value. The upper parking lot had litter lying around¿ I would definitely stay here again. For the price, it was an excellent value. And the staff was very friendly.

I have stayed in many hotels and this one was one of the best. The room was comfortable, very clean, had a frig in the room and the pillows were good. While not right in town, it was close to all the happenings in Gettysburg. I highly recommend this one. It's a jewel.

Convenient and easy to find.

Close to attractions. Bathrooms were not nice. Hotel will be torn down in 2 weeks to rebuild better one. This was a gift to my parents and she asked if they wanted to pay cash or use credit card and this upset my parents because they were unsure what to do. They had the confirmation page and then the hotel was ok with it. But it added stress and old people don't need anymore stress.

Service was friendly, provided me with directions more than once. I was surprised to learn it wasn't a brand new building as clean as the room was.

Close to attractions, met our need for an inexpensive place to sleep. Overall condition of hotel was dated and in need of some updating. The Econo-Lodge was in a very convenient location and easy to find. The buildings were showing some age and needed to be refurbished. But all we wanted was a place to sleep at night and it served our purpose very well and the price fit our budget very well. I would stay here again under the same circumstances.

We were only there from 10 pm to 6 am, so this room met our needs. It was clean and quiet, and that's all we were looking for. certainly nothing fancy.

Excellent proximity to Gettysburg battlefield, cemetery and shopping. Tiny bathroom and towels. With a picturesque location, the Econo Lodge will provide the Gettysburg visitor an economical stay, and nearness to the solemn battlefield and National Cemetery.

I was very impressed with this stay. From the outside it looked like a small local motel, but the rooms were very well appointed. The refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker much appreciated, it was a clean and spacious room. A really good value, and the front desk directed me to a great local restaurant, just what I was looking for!

The hotel is not within walking distance of Gettysburg attractions; you will need to drive to those attractions. Our room request via Orbitz was not what was provided they could not provide a non-smoking roon. We called in advance to arrange for one bag to be held before 11am checkin and they agreed, but upon arrival they refused. The front desk argued with us -- the older man quite adamantly, but the younger (son we presume) was trying. The room was WAY over priced with Orbitz getting a HUGE cut (more than 35%). Call the hotels in the area directly as there are bunches of locally owned and operated hotels that can't get listed on websites. The area is great for tourists -- tons to do especially the battlefields, monuments, food and ghost tours. Not really an enjoyable one night stay at the hotel.

Close to battlefields and Gettysburg downtown. Breakfast included. Air leak around outdoor - hard to control temperature.

The hotel was clean, the people pleasant, and the room rate inexpensive. Only a ten minute drive from the battlefield, this hotel was perfect for our budget and provided a very nice, roomy place to sleep.

I never got to stay because room not handicapped and unacceptable to me. Room was unacceptable. I had asked for handicapped. I was given a room unable to drive car too. Hotel only cared about the money I never got a return offer and they said I had not dealt with you people therefore I had no recourse I had better get my 157.00 dollars back since I know they have the room to someone else since I was unable to stay wife is severely handicapped and I also walk with a cane.
