This is value for the money. Older? Yes. A bit rough around the edges? Yes. But location here is great, within walking distance along the main drag. Fancy? Certainly not but the rooms were clean, the water hot when needed, the AC was perfect, the pool was clean as well. The staff, top marks for working with what they have. And that by no means is meant as an insult. Book a room at this old school motel, save some dollars, enjoy your stay.

Vintage Motel Next to National Cemetery where Abe

This Vintage property is constantly upgrading. I choose it because of location and because it is a 1950's vintage motel. They have recently painted and upgraded inside and out. There are a few cosmetic upgrades needed: needs indoor lock, weather stripping on the threshold.

My kiddo enjoyed the pool a ton. I think my only two complaints were the bed being uncomfortable to my liking, and ants. All the recent rain had driven ants into the room. We had a good stay otherwise and would stay again.

Colton is good for the value

The location was great, staff was very courteous and friendly. The room was somewhat clean. The ligjt in the bathroom was filled with bugs, but the hot water was great. There is no breakfast , but for the price paid, who cares. We were only there to sleep and shower.

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.
