most everything was good with the property and our room. we ended up in handicapped room for some reason but it was just fine. no issues unless you include the fan and light above the stove top. neither had power. we didnt check the service panel for a tripped breaker tho.

Nice suite room but the bathroom sink sewer odor is just so strong. It just need a good cleaning of the sink's overfill drainage. Overall, it is still an excellent hotel for me and my family.

Thank you for the review Alexander. We haven't heard of any other reports of that odor but we will keep an eye out for it. Thank you for staying with us.

Great room. large kitchen. large beds. sofa. great workspace. bathroom clean and mold free. Only 4 stars because the air conditioning unit was so noisy I had to turn it off to sleep. but could still hear other mechanical running I am guessing for other rooms. It was frustrating.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience while staying with us. It looks like there may have been something that happened during your stay that lead to a 1 out of 5 rating but without any additional comments or feedback, it is difficult to address the issue and make sure it doesn't happen again. We always appreciate the opportunity to be made aware of a negative experience and do our best to resolve it before it results in a low survey score. If you have time, I would really appreciate some additional details regarding your stay and what we could do better in the future. We are currently in the top 5% of the 850 Residence Inn hotels and my goal is to keep us there so your feedback is very valuable. Providing the highest level of hospitality is our number one priority and I sincerely apologize for failing to meet your expectations.

I stay in Lancaster on business about eight times a year and have tried just about every "residence suite" facility in the area. This one ranks as one of the very best. Attention to detail in the design of the rooms is evident everywhere. There are storage bins and shelves for your stuff in every room. There are outlets and USB ports everywhere. They all work. The kitchen is fully equipped with GE appliances. They all work. Basic kitchen utensils are well-stocked and clean. Detergent is provided for the dishwasher (ONLY place I've stayed that provides this common-sense necessity). The shower is enormous, and also has many shelves and ledges for your personal stuff. DItto for the bathroom vanity. The only complaint I have is that the plumbing could be more diligently maintained. The bathroom vanity sink was slow to drain and needed a cleaning. The drain trap in the kitchen beneath the disposal was not properly attached, and if I had not seen this and had it fixed, it could have caused an enormous mess for someone. The guest laundry is cashless, a great convenience. The little store by the front desk actually has stuff you'd want to eat and drink. The staff is friendly and welcoming. All kinds of shopping is within easy walking distance as long as you don't mind walking up and down a hill. Overall, about as close to perfect as I've seen in Lancaster County so far. Highly recommended.

Malfunctioning elevators
This is a five story hotel. Only one of the two elevators worked during the first day of our stay. On the second day, the second elevator stopped functioning. I overheard the counter person telling a guest that the second elevator malfunction was a surprise. Why? If one stops, shouldn't you need it fixed in case the second has a problem.
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023
Response from Jeremy on 4 Jan 2024
Thanks for the review. The two issues are completely separate requiring different remedies. The unexpected failure was just a sensor that wasn't lining up correctly which was a pretty easy fix for our on-call elevator techs. The second elevator is scheduled for repair but required parts that took three weeks to come in. Any elevator malfunction is unexpected and requires our on property team to adjust quickly to the situation. We had co-workers stationed at all of the elevator landings during the 2 hours the elevator was down to alert our guests and assist with luggage and kept breakfast open longer to make sure everyone had a chance to enjoy it. It is never ideal to operate with a reduced elevator capacity but the technicians who service the equipment are highly specialized and scheduling major repairs has proven challenging especially around the holidays. We do anticipate both elevators to be fully operational by next week.

Lovely accommodations. Staff was wonderful. Great location. Unfortunately housekeeping must have had a problem with the holiday scheduling. We were supposed to have service every other day but only had it at the beginning and end of our seven day stay. I had to empty the trash and get clean towels from the front desk. However, overall, it was a wonderful experience and we will be back.
