Amedia Hotel Hamburg, Gettysburg

EXCELLENT location--within walking distance of all the major museums, downtown, the National Cemetery, and the ghost tours, if that's your thing. You can get to the new vistors center on foot, but it's a bit of a hike. Shares a parking lot with the tour bus company, which is a good option if you are not familiar with the battlefield. The facilities themselves were fine, no complaints with interior. I do second one suggestion given about getting a room on the backside of the hotel--the streetside can be quite noisy. There is no functioning restaurant in the building anymore--they do serve a complimentary continental breakfast. The pet-friendly policy is a definite plus for those that need it (and Gettysburg is a great destination for a pet-friendly vacation!) Cons: --Little flexibility with room issues. I accidentally booked a smoking room and they were unable to change it due to being fully booked. (The staff was very considerate and had a clean air machine running, and it worked out just fine for me) --I paid over $100 for a last-minute booking through Priceline, and I see here others got rooms for as cheap as $70. Their own website books the rooms at $232, which I would say is excessive for what you get. I definitely recommend going through priceline or hotwire to comparison shop first. Overall I would recommend it, especially for first-time visitors. The amenities and furnishings of the place are nothing special, but any vacation in Gettysburg where you aren't out in the town 90% of the time is a waste anyway!

I stayed here two years ago and the rate matched what I saw online. Just called today after seeing a rate of $70.00 and was told $149.00 when I called. For that price, I'll stay in a actual "hotel"

For years we have stayed at this hotel on our long journey from Florida to Lake Ariel in PA. We arrive with grandchildren, a dog and hungry bellies. The pet friendly policy of this hotel has long been appreciated. Rooms are always clean and neat, the staff has always been gracious and welcoming. We order "delivery" from a local Italian restaurant, and although definitely not gourmet, it is OK and always comes as we ordered. If time allows ( we arrive late and leave early) we take advantage of the great location and play tourist. It amazes me that after all this time staying in this one hotel I have only positives to report. Great place, Great people! MEF

I reserved a room at Travelodge. When I arrived, Travelodge said they had arranged for me to stay at the 1863 Inn of Gettysburg because Travelodge had overbooked. When I checked in at the 1863 Inn, the person at the desk said that Travelodge would be paying for my room because that was the policy when they overbooked. She took it off of my credit card. Ten days later, the 1863 Inn charged my credit card for the stay. When I contacted them, they were unwilling to stand behind their employee and insisted I must pay for the room. I will not stay there again!

made our reservations 2/09 requesting 2 rooms side by side as we had a special needs person with us. Also one room close to our companions. Upon arrival we were told that the only available rooms were two, not side by side, but across the hall somewhere. In addition, our room was not near our companions but IN ANOTHER BUILDING! Our pleas went unanswered arguing that we had made reservations almost 6 mths in advance and expected what we were told when making reservations. To no avail, Mgr. became belligerent to add to our nightmare. We decided to cancel due to the importance of our special needs person being next to parents. No other vacancies in entire area. Was forced to drive the l45 mi. back home!

Now the 1863 Inn of Gettysburg; franchise owner left the Holiday Inn group

The location is on the edge Cemetary Ridge. You can literally walk to the Gettysburg Visitors Center and there are also very nice shops in very easy walking distance ( as in you won't finish your morning coffee to walk to ) The rooms are clean and well kept. Just a hint , insist a room on the BACKSIDE of the hotel. This Holiday Inn is right on the road and I DO mean right on the road...I was traveling with some folks who on the first night had a room on the front side and they thought 18 wheelers were going to come in at any second. They were very happy once on the backside of the property .. If you are serious student of the battlefield this is the best location to stay.

Our room was in the annex building, just to the rear of the main hotel building (alongside the pool). Although the king room was large and the bathroom was nice - the walls were paper thin. The couple in the next room was having a conversation in normal tones and we could hear it plainly. Fortunately we had these quiet neighbors for the two nights of our stay. With a noisy crew next door it would have been a nightmare. Also, it was impossible to close doors quietly and the banging would have been annoying had there been more rooms in the building. Otherwise, good location.

it's located near all the sites. you can park your car in the lot and walk into town and not miss a thing to see.i like it that you don't have to go out for anything it's all there in the hotel.i have recommended this place to many others who have stayed there and wil return again.

Reserved room for $69 a night over the phone 2 weeks in advance. Upon arrival I checked in with my Visa debit card. Wasn't til lunch when i realized they charged me an extra $50 a night for incidentals. This was not told to me over the phone or at the time of check-in. So off the back my vacation started $150 in the hole. No microwave or mini refrigerator in room as mentioned on website.
