Disliked: Amenities
Everything was clean and tidy. However, the motel was worn out. The furniture was a mess; the "leather" chair was worn and the 'leather' finish worn off, so the chair itself was scratchy and uncomfortable. The bed was horrible; the springs could be felt and they made a horrible noise every time we shifted. This place is fine for a very limited stay.

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 price was great! Loved the free parking and closeness to everything. Our tv did not work and the internet is slow. Not deal breakers though because I’m not a big tv person.

I got a room directly next to the office. In the morning right after 8:00 am, I could hear a man and a woman arguing very loudly in the office. This went on for about 20 minutes and woke me up. Other than that the rooms could be cleaner.

Carla

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Very overpriced for what it is. The location is convenient, but the condition of the room is bare minimum comfort. Being your own pillow, comforter, and flip flops for the bathroom. Bring melatonin or other sleeping pills to drown out the stupid people with no mufflers on their cars, blasting music in the parking lot until 11 pm - 12 am. If you just need a place to sleep and don’t care that much, yes, come to the Colton. The tv was nice!

We would stay there again. The location was superb walking distance to many shops and the historical party of Gettysburg. It wasn't a for star hotel, but it was decent and as stated previously, we would stay there again.

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.

The people were super nice and helpful but the property itself is run down and really needs a makeover. The tv, mini fridge, internet, lights, and microwave all work fine. But there are holes in the walls, the front door didn't close right, and the toilet didn't work well. The bathroom wasn't swept up either. The "breakfast" was ONE only, your choice of a prepackaged muffin or honey bun.

It’s affordable, clean and convenient and within walking distance of things it’s not the top of the line place but why pay a lot of money for a room your barley going to be in as long as it’s clean and no bed bed bugs im good everything was nice and I will definitely be staying here again as I have every year I come to Gettysburg
