Stayed there again this past weekend with my son and had a wonderful time. The room was immaculate, the coffee shop makes a great breakfast, and the atmosphere reminds me of traveling around the country 40 years ago and staying at nice little motels in the Thousand Islands or Adirondacks. The owner makes a point of personally greeting guests and... More

I just got back from a trip to the Lancaster area and have only good things to say about this family run motel. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable and in spite of the fact that it's situated right on a fairly busy highway (Rte 30), it's very quiet. Also, I had no trouble at all with a... More

Pleasantly surprised on how clean the room was and how friendly the staff was. Rates were very competitive and the cafe was a huge added bonus. I had breakfast there every morning and it was delicious. (and cheap too I might add) I would stay there again if and when I return to Lancaster. Motel sits on highway 30 so... More

The beds and bathrooms are very clean. There was a drink bottle and a few cheerios under 1 bed. I suspect the vacuum was one that requires moving the bed. Good basic place to stay, no amenities except wi-fi, iron, hairdryer. They have a small cafe and a room with a microwave. Price for a senior, adult and 2 children... More

Small operations and very simple, but very well run. It was conveniently located for the Lancaster Covered Bridge Metric bike ride, which is why I was there. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and gracious. I would definitely stay there on my next trip to Lancaster.

The Garden Spot is a nice clean little family run motel. The rates are reasonable and the rooms very clean. The staff is very helpful. We have stayed here over 6 times during the last few years when in Lancaster. I always regret when it is closed during the winter months but know I'll have a place in the spring... More

This is a nice little motel for a night's stay. It's clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, but they're only there certain hours of the day. It has TV and WiFi, and not much else. No fridge or microwave. The bathroom is situated right next to the outside door and the window of the bathroom faces the parking lot,... More

Nice, clean room. Good price. Really enjoyed having windows that actually opened and looked out onto a nice lawn and flowering bushes. However, getting out onto 30 during a busy weekend was difficult. Might stay again during the week or off season. On season, we'll stay somewhere where there's a light to get out onto 30 or off 30. It... More

The Garden Spot is a family-owned establishment. We stayed there in 2009 (our first year traveling to Lancaster). Its a nice, basic room, very clean. The A/C had some climate control issues, but we were able to deal with it. The staff were friendly and accomodating. We'd arrived early and they hurried to clean and prepare our room for us.... More
