Colton is good for the value

The location was great, staff was very courteous and friendly. The room was somewhat clean. The ligjt in the bathroom was filled with bugs, but the hot water was great. There is no breakfast , but for the price paid, who cares. We were only there to sleep and shower.

Don't Expect Much

I've stayed there numerous times.. while on vacation. Great location and good price is why I keep coming back. Parking is a bit cramped if the lot is full. This particular room was nice sized, comfortable bed. Television required two remotes to work. TV available programming was awful. Very little to choose from. Bathroom.. commode water tank had the wrong cover.. about a one inch gap between the tank and the cover. Shower head is mounted too low, kept hitting my head on it. No tissues/wipes in the container. Tiny trash cans filled up fast with trash, started over running. Had to buy trash bags to put excess trash in. Housekeeping never emptied the trash, but did tell me where the dumpster was. Breakfast there... forget it! A tiny single pot is used. One type of powdered creamer, only sugar and Splenda available. You have a choice between a small Danish or honey bun.. sign saying one per person! Absolutely ridiculous! If I go back to Gettysburg again, it might be worth paying a little extra for a better setup and condition.

Very basic, budget-priced accommodation, which is exactly what we were looking for on our pass-thru trip to Gettysburg. If you're looking for a reasonably priced place to hang your hat while in town, this fits the bill. The Colton's location is easily accessible to everything- town, shops, eateries, landmarks & sightseeing. It is a dated/vintage property, however it is super-convenient plus safe and kept clean. Staff very helpful. Though we hadn't originally planned to use the pool while there, we gladly ended up cooling down in it during a multi-day heat wave. extra pillows will be provided upon request (we'd brought our own), same holds true for towels. Bath toiletries were provided (shampoo, soap). Would we stay again? We find no reason not to, unless we decided to splurge & upgrade to a higher tier accommodation. Other than that, the Colton's price- in a great location during the high tourist season at that- was a very fair deal.

It was a great location, close to the Civil war areas that you’ll want to see. For the price, we were very happy!

Safe

It was safe which was my concern. It is pretty run down but beds were okay. Bathroom was just functional, towels were awful. Just be prepared

It was a good and average facility. Great value considering the area. Comfortable, quiet, convenient to downtown and other walkable areas. I booked and arrived after 10pm. I was concerned about being able to obtain my room due to the office closing at 10pm and not being able to confirm via phone. However, upon arrival, they had a note with key instructions ready for me. This was a great relief and I had no issues getting my room. I am very happy with the accommodations and would stay here again.

This place is an older motel. It could use some updating. Bring your own pillows. The door to our room stuck. You had to push very hard to get the open to get in. But for the price it is what to expect. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. I would still stay here again.
