I had a fantastic experience at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and very well-kept, offering twice the space, a balcony, and even robes for the pool. The 3rd floor was a serene oasis without kids around. Checking their online calendar for room rates is a must for the best deals. Don't bother calling; there are no discounts, not even for returning guests on meals. The lobby walk was great, and everything appeared pretty clean.

They were always friendly and ready to make my stay the best possible. Special thanks to Meredith and her team for their exceptional service. Laundry service and a welcome drink added an extra touch of hospitality.

The location was simply delightful. Nestled in the heart of Ronks/Lancaster amidst Rte 30 & Rte 696 and Strasburg, PA, it was a quick drive to Blue Bell and only 15-20 minutes away from Intercourse. The scenic beauty and the 'duck pond' added charm, and there were fine dining options aplenty in the area. A tranquil spot reminiscent of a bygone era by the river.

The restaurant ambiance was lovely, complementing the tasty offerings. The bread was perfectly toasted to add to the great dining atmosphere.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, although some could use a bit of furniture upgrade. The staff, led by Meredith, was always welcoming and attentive. The location in the heart of Amish Country was convenient for exploring the area. On the downside, the outdated carpet and uncomfortable bedding took away from the room experience. However, the hotel offered a pleasant dining experience and had some intriguing facilities to enjoy during the stay.

The rooms, while spacious and comfortable, showed signs of aging in the furniture. Some rooms even had fun bunk beds that my daughter loved. However, the old carpet and subpar bed and pillows were disappointing.
