Top Historic Downtown Lancaster Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lancaster

8/10 Good

"The hotel is nice and clean; staff are all very helpful, kind, and friendly. Rooms are clean; bathroom is good (flush power is adequate). Hotel soap is very soapy! It takes time for it to come off your hands. TV has a lot of HD channels (but I brought my Roku and plugged it in to watch my shows). Wifi is free; Bed is good; mattress is good for bad backs and pillows and blankets are adequate and clean. AC is strong too. It's quiet at night; no one is screaming or thumping on the walls. It's also pet friendly! (woof!) I really liked that the hotel was located just minutes from stores/shopping centers/restaurants/Dutch Wonderland etc. You can literally just walk to the Waffle House, Olive Garden, or Lost Treasure Golf and Maze. In terms of amenities, there is free breakfast from 6-9am. It includes all sorts of bread options, oatmeal (with fixings), scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, sausage gravy, pancakes, yogurt, coffee, juice. Free coffee is available 24 hours a day. They have an indoor heated pool that starts from 3.5 ft and goes all the way to 5.5 ft. It is small so it can get crowded especially in the evenings. I was a bit disappointed with the fitness center (4 cardio machines and 1 functional trainer...but it was out of order for the entire time I was there). Overall, it's really meant as a place to rest/sleep/have free breakfast and then you spend the day outside. I'll definitely come back to this hotel."
