Thank you Travelers Rest Motel for your hospitality. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and well-kept, and the mini fridge was ice cold! I also loved the heat lamp in the bathroom. In addition, we got to enjoy the nice weather out back at the fire pit prior to our departure. Such a beautiful view!! We look forward to staying with you again.

Unique!

Reviewed By Karol B

Quite an unusual 'motel room'; fun experience. They are working hard to restore old, old cabooses, so keep that in mind but so worth it! Incredible LOCATION; 'everything' was within 10minutes! We went to see the production of 'David' at the Sight and Sound Theater and never expected to take a ride on the Penn Railroad or to have a Amish man plowing his fields with horses right off the restaurant deck. Beautiful farms and so cool to see and hear the buggies 'drive' by so often. Casey Jones has great food and cool gift shop. We also went to the Magic & Wonder Theater in Paradise; what a quite show too! And the Kitchen Kettle Village is great!

NCAA Lacrosse Tournament Lancaster

Reviewed By davidmK9

We stayed at the Carriage House, as an alternatate to the high price of staying in Lancaster. We were attending our doughter's college lacrosse team's bid in the NCAA DIII tournament in May 2022 at Franklin Marshall in Lancaster. It was only a 20 minute drive. Anyway the stay was great, accomodations really nice, staff courteous, and we used the breakfast voucher for a great breakfast at the Speckled Hen across the street. And to top it off, we left two articles of clothing in the room and the hotel manager went out of his way to mail us the clothing. Thanks, Debbie and David

What a great place to stay for the weekend. It was close to everything and the rooms were great. Nick and his staff do a great job. Treated our crew like we were his only guest. If you are taking a trip out that way the Weathervane is a great place to stop and rest.

Excellent Motel in the heart of Amish Country

Room was comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Staff was very cordial, helpful and pleasant. The view of the countryside from the motels location is beautiful. For the last 7+ years my wife and I have made an annual trip to see attractions at the Sight & Sound theater and this motel is our place to stay when visiting. Very pleased with this place and we will continue staying here during future visits.

Inexpensive night near major events

Reviewed By Chris W

You might miss this little place along route 30 among all the major attractions, like American Music Theater. Nice, clean room. WiFi worked well. Only complaint was that the people next door had checked out earlier in the day and left their TV on. Could hear their TV all night, Keep us from having a good night's sleep. Better insulation between rooms needed. This was likely a rare occurence, so I won't make a big deal of it. A nice place for a night or two.

Overpriced for Condition of Hotel

Reviewed By Karen S

We stayed at this property a few years ago. It was clean and a fair price. We returned this weekend, and the property needs a major overhaul. The only good thing I can say is the carpet in the rooms have been replaced with vinyl wood planks. The toilet wouldn't flush, and the sink was cracked. The towels felt like sandpaper. The doors into the building are supposed to be locked after hours and only opened with a room key but both evenings we came back that wasn't the case. There are lots of other hotels in Lancaster to choose from. We spent some time scouting out other hotels so we know what we are getting for our money next time we visit.

Clean and basic

Reviewed By travellevret

We just stayed one night. The room was very clean and in good condition and well lit. The room and bathroom are small. Room included a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The beds were reasonably comfortable with a choice of pillows. Nice towels for a budget place. Bedding was average. It was very quiet. The motel had no vacancy, but I never heard neighbors or cars coming and going. Late night check-in was not great. Reservation indicated arrival by 11 PM. At 10 PM the office was locked and we had to call for assistance. Then the transaction was through a little slot in the window. We also forgot to ask for the wifi password. I felt a little bad about not arriving earlier. There are certainly more upscale options in the area, but this is a good place for people who mostly need a clean bed and shower. Will stay again.

Our room was clean, we experienced no problems, and enjoyed the Coffee Co. with our free breakfast next door. I forgot how convenient it was to park outside the door to your room at a motel. Our stay was an exceptional value.
