Ephrata Cloister Tours and Activities

Clean room staff was nice, the pool wasn’t as clean

The design of the suite was excellent especially the design of the second bathroom to accommodate the people using the fold out couch. The furnishings and the supplies in the kitchen were excellent. And I was glad that they made an allowance for recycling. We were disappointed that the indoor pool was closed for renovations. I understand that need to do the renovations in the summer season because there is still an outdoor pool to use. I was disappointed that they did not relay this information at the time we booked. We definitely would have looked at another hotel. We arrived at 4:00 p.m. hoping to get into our room, but had to wait over an hour before the room was available. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. If we came back to this area, we would consider staying here again, but will definitely check about the indoor pool.

We booked to get together with family who live in Gettysburg. We all went to the Chocolate Factory and stayed there for two nights. The hotel on first glance seems a bit dated, but they are in the middle of renovations and I have to say both of the two rooms we stayed in were clean with fresh paint and new carpet. We were traveling with children and the pool area was large, heated with a hot tub, which we enjoyed and the kids had a blast. Another plus was the restaurant onsite (The Whiskey Barrell, I think) There were eight of us and what a convenience to stay put and enjoy great food and a comfortable place to relax and eat for both kids and adults. The breakfast (kids ate free) was excellent with a wonderful selection of hot food, fruits, cereals, breads, coffee and juices. We had a few really minor issues, which were addressed as soon as we asked. So no complaints and we'd definitely recommend and go again.
