Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square
"Everything was great from check in to check out! Very friendly and helpful staff! Beautiful property - would definitely stay here again!!!"

Holiday Inn Lancaster by IHG
"No amenities, drab front desk, no breakfast included, drab hallways and rooms floors look dirty, city parking next to the hotel but dark, dirty and smelly… twice the expense on Expedia than a Hampton Inn (which I’m now at). That last one is on me…but I now became a Hilton rewards member…what a difference ..."

Eden Resort and Suites, BW Premier Collection
"Very clean facility. Staff very nice and helpful. Only 2 things were that breakfast is not included and that some rooms are not easily connected to the lobby via elevators. But it wasn’t a deal breaker. Would stay there again."
