Carlisle Hotels | Places to Stay in Carlisle

July 24, 2022 Jana Sager

With a long history dating back to before the American Revolution, it's not a surprise that Carlisle is full of historic treasures, including a church once attended by George Washington and a courthouse damaged by artillery during the Civil War. Despite this impressive heritage, the city is most famous for being Pennsylvania's "automotive capital," hosting ten annual car, truck, and motorcycle shows that are attended by a half a million people each year.

Pheasant Field Bed & Breakfast

Very comfortable B&B with excellent breakfast

Reviewed By S7441UDjanw

We enjoyed our time at the Pheasant Field B&B. It is a small farm not far from the historic part of Carlisle. Breakfasts were awesome (and huge!). We were delighted with having a choice each day of a savory or a sweet dish. Our room was very comfortable. We especially liked that there was good lighting and two high-back chairs for reading. The owners, Robin & Kit were very attentive.

Hershey Park mini vacation

Reviewed By jessicapasswaters

We booked this hotel for our mini getaway to Hershey Park and couldn’t of been more pleased! The staff was so friendly, breakfast was great and room was super clean! We arrived on Saturday and left on Monday Memorial Day weekend it was packed but the breakfast ladies kept up! Bonita was super friendly to my children my 6 year old son spilled his oj while carrying it and she helped him work through being upset! She continued to chat with us during the morning about our trip to Hershey that day! 10 out of 10 recommend this hotel! We also had pizza ordered in one night and sat at the cute little patio/gazebo while the kids played on the hill! It made our mini trip one to remember! We will be back

Great location

Reviewed By mdr91

We chose this hotel due to its great location in the center of Carlisle. Unfortunately we stayed there on Easter Sunday so most of the restaurants in walking distance were closed -- including the one in the hotel (apparently they are currently closed on Sundays, so my oversight in not realizing that). Parking during check in was a bit tight. We arrived in the early evening, at the exact same time as 2 other parties. The Comfort Suites has a driveway that runs between two buildings and leads to a city parking garage (it's a one way, narrow driveway). While you are allowed to "park" in the driveway for a few minutes while checking in, but the car ahead of us chose to park in the middle of the driveway, rather than pulling to the side. Not a big deal, but a note to future guests -- try not to completely block the driveway! Check in was quick and we were placed in a room on the 4th floor overlooking the driveway. The room was quite large with 2 beds as well as a sitting area with sleeper sofa. The room was clean, but the bathroom is in need of a refresh. There is some mold and discoloration around the soap dish, grab bar, etc. A continental breakfast is served in a section of the restaurant and featured the typical foods: eggs, toast/bagels, muffins, cereal, make your own waffles, etc. Nothing special, but totally adequate. Parking is in a city lot and there is a charge added to your bill (fully disclosed ahead of time). You can go in and out as often as you'd like. We had no problem finding a space -- though it was Easter so likely only hotel guests using the garage. There is a back door into the hotel near the parking garage that is controlled by room key. Despite the bathroom needing some work, we would stay here again given the location and room size.

The hotel was a perfect stop. The staff was delightful, the room very clean and comfortable and the breakfast delicious. We were extremely pleased by the entire experience. We had not previously booked the the motel and were very graciously welcomed. It was a perfect stop. Plus the dinner recommendation was delicious. Would definitely return…if in the area.

Stayed for a weekend getaway with family. Hotel was very clean. Room was clean and spacious. Beds were also clean no stains on the sheets. Bed was very comfortable. They had a nice selection of breakfast items. Staff was all very friendly. Almost everything we wanted to do was within 5 miles of the hotel and was pretty much a straight ride. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here again.

Best lodging in Carlisle

Reviewed By Patricia K

We have stayed here for the last ten years for the all Ford show in June. The location is ideal since it is within walking distance of all downtown restaurants and the Saturday night parade. Tim and Caroline are excellent hosts. The breakfasts are fantastic and usually include a quiche, fruit, pastry, juice and coffee or tea. This year they surprised us with a burrito, fruit with sauce, potatoes and cinnamon pastry sticks. The rooms are very clean and include a coffee pot and refrigerator with some drinks.

PLEASANT & FRIENDLY

Reviewed By SaraBD1967

I'm so glad I found this hotel. Pleasant and friendly staff. They went above and beyond to make sure the guests are happy, comfortable and relaxed after a day's work or drive. They cater to big trucks and have large truck parking. The hotel was designed for truck drivers. That's very nice to know for truck drivers. The rooms were neat and very clean. I'd like to give a shout out to employee Holli Miller, who I met during my short stay. Thank you for everything and making my stay pleasant and relaxing. This is a place I will return to when in the area or just passing through.
