The Colton is a low end, low cost motel in Gettysburg, but it is quiet and comfortable. I stay here primarily because of the location.

Quick overnight stay

Very old motel, but clean. Bed was good, bathroom was well maintained. Could use some updates, but otherwise decent for resting after walking all day. Close to most things in town. Friendly staff.

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!

Cynthia

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
