Weekend Getaway
My wife and I spent the weekend here to visit lancaster. The room was nice and it was nice to be in our own small room with private access.

It started with not receiving instructions to enter our room. So we sat in the car waiting for a return call. When that didn’t happen we eventually were able to get in contact with someone through the large group who had the main house rented for the weekend. The carpeting was so filthy my socks are dirty on the bottoms. In the bathroom there was 1 small half used piece of soap in the dish. Either that’s all they provide or the last guest left it. So I’m really not sure what I paid a cleaning charge for? The only curtains in the room are white shears. So the only place you can feel comfortable changing or being in your night clothes is the bathroom. Those curtains may I add are only on the bottom half of the window. There is nothing on the tops of the windows. There are lights all through the parking lot and porch lights on the carriage house and also on the porch directly outside the Contessa room. The occupants of the main house came in and out getting drinks off of the porch banging the door and turning on the light that would then shine directly through the window with no curtains on it and onto our bed. Needless to say there was little to no sleep going on in our all weekend. When renting the whole house out to a single party of 12, maybe they should not rent the Contessa room to anyone. The walls are thin and we could hear dishes banging and them talking about the turkey burgers they were grilling just outside our window with shear curtains at 10 pm.

Room was very small and difficult to get around in the room. Bed was right next to radiator and made
Nice from the outside. Maybe the rest of the inn was different. Would not go back again even for free.

Great place for short stay.
Good accommodation for a short stay in historic Lancaster PA. Close to Sight and Sound theater. Private, great parking, smaller but tastefully decorated with a good coffee bar. Would suggest paper towels for coffee bar and larger TV screen. Otherwise, good.
