Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

First I want to say that we have been coming here for weekend stays for years. We love this hotel!! It is close to so many things that you can walk to. We normally come in March for my husband's birthday which is 2 days from St Patricks Day. Gettysburg is a great place for St Patrick's day and there is an Irish Pub right across the street! This year my brother and his wife joined us. When they got into their room they couldn't believe how large and clean everything was. My sister-in-law came straight over to our room to tell me how happy she was because she usually isn't a fan of staying in hotel rooms. She said she had never seen a bathroom in a hotel that spotless in her life! The front desk staff was professional and friendly as always!! The breakfast was really good with lots of choices for everyone! My brother who does travel for business commented that it was one of the nicest breakfasts at a hotel that he has seen. Thank you all for making another weekend getaway there a huge success!! We always recommend the 1863 Inn to all of our friends and now so will my brother and his wife!! See you all again next year or sooner!!

Between the amazing staff, the delicious breakfast, and the best location, I can't fathom to choose another place to stay in Gettysburg. They keep remodeling their rooms and they keep becoming more and more perfect and up to date! The bathroom and shower are heavenly! New sink and soap dispenser in the showers! WHAT!? It's the best!

We visited Gettysburg twice in 2023 and stayed at the 1863 Inn both times. Check in was fast and efficient. The room we stayed in had recently been updated and we were very pleased with the changes. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The hotel is always working on making improvements and these are much appreciated. We love the breakfast choices at the hotel, as they have the best breakfast of any hotel we have stayed in. There are quick options like cereal and muffins, along with waffle makers and hot food choices like sausage, scrambled eggs and potatoes. Another great benefit of staying at the 1863 Inn is the location. The hotel is in walking distance of many shops and dining places. This is great when the parking on Steinwehr Avenue is limited, as you can walk to other businesses. Also, the hotel is right next to the Gettysburg battlefield. I love being able to walk to the East Cemetery Hill part of the battlefield and being able to leave my car just down the hill at the hotel. We enjoyed both visits this past year. The staff is always outstanding and we are already looking to planning our visits in 2024. When asked by others where they should stay when they visit Gettysburg, I never hesitate to tell them about the 1863 Inn.

Very clean Last minute booking for Christmas festival. Centrally located for the square as well as historical and shopping areas. Front desk staff is very friendly. Easy check in prior to time noted online. Breakfast is excellent with multiple choices. Seating large enough to accommodate many guests in the breakfast room. The parking gets a little tight especially if you have a larger vehicle but plenty of parking into lot next door.

My family and I spent 2 nights over Thanksgiving weekend. We stayed here several years back when it was a Holiday Inn. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The rooms are older but very clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was very good as well. Lots of options for a light or hearty breakfast! I really enjoyed the biscuits and gravy! The property is clean and well maintained and the room prices were very affordable. You are within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Great view of the town with the exterior balcony that goes around every floor. I would highly recommend a visit here!

This hotel is convenient to most everything in town. The staff was very nice and very helpful. Our room was clean and quite comfortable. Parking was okay, but the lot slants on a hill making it hard to negotiate if you are handicapped.

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and found everything to your liking. We have a great staff here and they work very hard to make sure that every guest has a pleasant visit. You mentioned the handicap parking. Our parking is indeed on a hill. However, we have designated parking spots that are handicap accessible and very convenient for those that may need them. These parking spots are on a flat surface on the south side of the building. If you come back to visit with us in the future please ask at the front desk and they will direct you to those designated parking spots. Thank you for the review. We appreciate it.

This place checked off everything for our stay in Gettysburg. Clean, comfortable beds, shower pressure was excellent, clean towels, conveniently close to attractions, staff was nice, breakfast (which was included in price) provided a good variety of hot/cold options, parking on site. My only complaint would be that on the first morning of my stay it took the shower at an extremely (at least 4-5 minutes) long time to get warm/hot. Only happened once during the stay but would recommend running the shower for a few minutes before getting in. Another issue (which it didn't bother me at all but my husband brought it to my attention) is our room was facing the front of the inn (busy traffic during the day but did not seem that bad at night). If you are sensitive to traffic noise, I would recommend requesting a room facing the back. I would stay here again and would recommend to others.

Standard hotel very close to all of the sights. Came here on a work trip and they were able to accommodate all of our needs. Reminds me of a motel, but definitely a higher end motel. Listen, you're here for the history, not for an exceptional hotel experience. This will get the job done. One point though....breakfast foods were cold....that includes the eggs and bacon. Just threw it out and didn't say anything. Muffin was good. Be weary of that breakfast. But other than that, you're good.

Responded 23 Oct 2023
We actually think our hotel is pretty awesome. Our rooms are well appointed and offer all of the amenities that the larger, more expensive hotels offer. Our rooms are clean, and we have a wonderful staff. Our FREE breakfast is one of the best around. If you found that your food was not at an acceptable temperature, you could have used one of the two microwaves that we have available. Or better yet, you could have mentioned it to one of the three breakfast attendants that we have on duty to assist our guests with whatever they need. They would have been happy to help you. It may have prevented wasted food and a less than complimentary comment regarding our extensive and very good FREE breakfast. We certainly do not intentionally serve cold food. I don't think you will find a better FREE breakfast at any hotel. If you walk away hungry that is definitely not the fault of the hotel. In the future, if you have an issue please give the hotel, wherever you may be staying, a chance to make it right. That would be the fair thing to do. Norma Herring General Manager

Good location. Clean room. Check in was slow and clerk was unprofessional to say the least. She was rude and I would go elsewhere next time because of her. She didn't tell me about breakfast until I asked. She didn't tell me about parking until I asked. She FORGOT to give me a parking pass and when I asked for it she said (in a not nice tone) that she had already given it to me. She eventually gave it to me, but with an extremely negative attitude.

Responded 9 Oct 2023
First let me apologize if you were not treated in a professional manner. That is not the way we treat our visitors. If you wouldn't mind giving me a call so I can get some details on what may have transpired, I would appreciate it. The hospitality industry has become very challenging over the last few years. Our employees are hard working, good folks. We have found that folks are short tempered and demanding since COVID. We do our best to make sure each guest is given the customer service that they have come to expect. I am not sure what happened during your check in process. Perhaps the guest before you was less than respectful? Maybe they were not in the best mood. Yes, we are supposed to ignore it, but, that gets very hard to do at times. Their mood does have an affect on our employees. Again, I apologize if your experience was less than pleasant. Any other information would be helpful. Our phone number can be found on your receipt. Thank you, Norma Herring General Manager
