Did cancel this, some time ago. Curious that Expedia 'system' doesn't recognize this fact and automatically sends a "rate your stay" message ?!!!

The bed was clean and comfy but there was a used cup left in the bathroom and the water pressure in the shower was awful. The back deck was really nice and private but there was no light so i couldn't get any use of it.

Sad little motel.
Small motel. Not updated at all. Bed was hard mattress flat pillows. Curtains very see threw no shampoo in shower tiny bathroom. No coffee in room. The room that had coffee was just that coffee. Nothing else. Needs a lot of TLC and updating. Okay for a night and a bed to sleep in. That’s it.

Stinky, moldy, run-down room. Even though we had a reservation, we left for another hotel in Gettysburg. Until Blue Sky dramatically renovates its rooms, i recommend no one to stay in this motel. Run away!

The room we had was cozy and very clean. Yes, it's an older motel but that's part of the ambience for me and my guy. We will definitely stay again if our travels call for it.

This was a very unexpected and comfortable overnight for me. The place is older but is clean, well run, and a great value and location just north of Gettysburg.

It did it's job — a comfy place to stay the night while traveling. If you're not looking for a lavish stay and just need a place to lay your head without spending a ton of money, this place will serve that need. Some of the molding and fixtures could be updated, but I wasn't really there for that. The staff were very friendly and allowed us to check in really late since we were coming from a family reunion. Plus it's super close to downtown Gettysburg which is great. Overall I was content with our stay. Thanks!

Don't Stop Here Motel
We tried to stay in a quaint old fashioned less expensive place, for once. What a mistake! The "desk clerk" knew nothing. Couldn't find our reservation, didn't know how to pull it up. Had to yell for help to the office/house attached. The room was small, dark, dirty and poorly furnished. The carpet was dampish, or so filthy it felt that way. The curtains were mismatched and insufficient. The air conditioner worked, but made strange wheezing sounds during its on off cycle. And the bathroom, I choose to believe the strange streaks on the walls and baseboards and floor were....paint? Tiny, scratchy, thin towels, 2 of them, and 2 wash cloths, and a bath mat. Paint scratched and missing and filthy doorknobs. My list of complaints goes on and on. This place should be bulldozed. Ours was room 11. The motel rates as 3 stars, so we gave it a try. Afterwards we read the reviews and we should have known. All either 1 star, or 5 stars. You can guess who has been writing 5 star reviews. Anyplace would have been better. Next time I'll sleep in my truck.

Close to Gettysburg
Comfortable room with fridge & microwave. Quiet. Only stayed one night, but would return here again. Even had deck area that looked out into the surrounding fields. Bring your own toiletries & blow dryer if you need them.

Nice cozy motel
This is what we expected and wanted. A nice cozy pet friendly hotel in a nice quiet country setting. A lot of "green" behind the building for our dogs to enjoy, the room was comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly. The pool looked nice, although we didn't use it. Being close to Gettysburg and the battlefields was a plus. We would recommend this place, and will probably stay there again. Oh yeah, got a kick out of the chickens roaming free on the property.

Nice motel close to everything
My boyfriend and I stayed there for a weekend get away. The motel was close to everything. I mean we are seconds away from bigglerville and you are seconds away from Gettysburg. It's nice it's out of the way. You aren't in town or nothing. We always try to get this motel.

Nice place
Room reminded me of my apartment in college! I thought the room was just fine. The price was right and the service was great. I really like the back porch. The place was clean, although could use an update. The price was right for me! I will probably be back!
thank you for your review. Hope to see you soon again!

Nice motel close to the heart of Gettysburg
Found the motel to be very nice. It is just outside town giving it a country feel with peace and quiet. Motel is small with vintage decor. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful.
