Don't Expect Much

I've stayed there numerous times.. while on vacation. Great location and good price is why I keep coming back. Parking is a bit cramped if the lot is full. This particular room was nice sized, comfortable bed. Television required two remotes to work. TV available programming was awful. Very little to choose from. Bathroom.. commode water tank had the wrong cover.. about a one inch gap between the tank and the cover. Shower head is mounted too low, kept hitting my head on it. No tissues/wipes in the container. Tiny trash cans filled up fast with trash, started over running. Had to buy trash bags to put excess trash in. Housekeeping never emptied the trash, but did tell me where the dumpster was. Breakfast there... forget it! A tiny single pot is used. One type of powdered creamer, only sugar and Splenda available. You have a choice between a small Danish or honey bun.. sign saying one per person! Absolutely ridiculous! If I go back to Gettysburg again, it might be worth paying a little extra for a better setup and condition.

Very basic, budget-priced accommodation, which is exactly what we were looking for on our pass-thru trip to Gettysburg. If you're looking for a reasonably priced place to hang your hat while in town, this fits the bill. The Colton's location is easily accessible to everything- town, shops, eateries, landmarks & sightseeing. It is a dated/vintage property, however it is super-convenient plus safe and kept clean. Staff very helpful. Though we hadn't originally planned to use the pool while there, we gladly ended up cooling down in it during a multi-day heat wave. extra pillows will be provided upon request (we'd brought our own), same holds true for towels. Bath toiletries were provided (shampoo, soap). Would we stay again? We find no reason not to, unless we decided to splurge & upgrade to a higher tier accommodation. Other than that, the Colton's price- in a great location during the high tourist season at that- was a very fair deal.

This place is an older motel. It could use some updating. Bring your own pillows. The door to our room stuck. You had to push very hard to get the open to get in. But for the price it is what to expect. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. I would still stay here again.

This vintage motel has been doing extensive renovation. The outside is refreshed as are many rooms. The room I had was nicely decorated, mattress was outstanding, fridge, new carpet and room-darkening curtains; TV and a/c worked perfectly..overall a perfect room for my needs.

Ok here we go. Arrived Friday afternoon. Within 2 hours some dude came riding a bike across the parking lot with his entire ass hanging out and the worker yelled at him to pull his pants up to which he replied F YOU. the other workers now yelled at him to leave then properly which he also replied with F YOU. There was a screaming match for about 20 minutes while the one female worker was telling the guy to hit her. Very unprofessional and I pondered calling the cops. The next day a worker came to our room and apologized for what happened. Apparently the guy is the town drunk. The location of this property is amazing but now i understand why it was vacant. The place is absolutely disgusting and dirty. Dirty sheets dirty pillows just disgusting. The WiFi doesn’t work at all. Couldn’t stay connected for more than 5 mins. Was told at check in that “we offer complimentary pastries and coffee from 7-11” we went over at 715 and the place was locked and nobody around. The workers all live there so that was weird as well, guess they were still sleeping. Most rooms are “live in” rooms for some shady people. It’s more of a halfway house then a motel. People were hanging out outside all hours of the night talking. I seen one couple check in and go to their room only to check out and leave 25 mins later. This place is absolutely disgusting. Go somewhere else.
