This was our 8th stay at the James Gettys. We first stayed here on a family trip in 2009. Now that our daughter goes to Gettysburg College we try to stay whenever we're in town. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. And the breakfast has always been delicious. The best thing however is the location.... More

We had a great stay in the John Troxell Suite. The suite was neat and clean and decorated in a great style. The included breakfast was lovely, the service excellent. I can recommend this to anyone.

This hotel that served guests during the Civil War has been nicely reodeled for guest comfort. My suite was very nice, but this does not seem to be a historic restoration. The lobby entry door looked to be taken from a modern tract home, for example. Because it's an adaptation of an old hotel, the dimensions are odd. My rear-end... More

I wanted to take a few minutes to respond to your review as I did not hear about your comments until you wrote them here. Thank you for the nice review and it was very nice talking with you at check in. Having a fellow hotelier stay with us is always nice. Our property is very historic dating back to... More

A wonderful place in downtown. Clean, cozy, great rooms with seperate sitting areas from bedrooms. Nice touch with breakfast foods in the room with OJ in the refrigerator. Would definitely recommend and already have.

The James Gettys Hotel is a delightful, homey, friendly, immpecable and incredibly convenient. When we park our car there we rarely move it for the whole weekend, whether it is to walk around the quaint town or visit the beautfuful college campus. This is a very special little hotel.

Room was great, very clean and offered everything we needed for a quick weekend getaway! Breakfast was great.... Grapes, cantaloupe, homemade blueberry muffins and lemon bread, it was great! Very accommodating for late night arrival. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the hotel walls are pretty thin....you can hear everyone talking through surrounding walls. Other...

At first I was worried about going to a smaller hotel/inn/bed and breakfast after I gotta livingsocial deal for $101 a night at this hotel because I was expecting a small cramped dark room with no Tv but my worries were completely unnecessary. Our suite (all the rooms in the hotel are suites that are uniquely furnished...) was bright and... More

Good day and thank you for your nice review. I am sorry about the muffin. I wish you had said something about it and we could have brought up something else for you. We bake everything in house and our baked goods are totally home made. We are human and it looks as though there was a moment of stirring... More

My Husband and I will definitely return to the James Gettys Hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by the fresh & tasty home baked goods, chocolates, fruit, orange juice and cheese platter. The rooms were spotless and comfy. And, the staff went above and beyond making us feel like family. Love this place! We highly recommend it.

My husband and I stayed at the James Gettys Inn for an overnight recently, and we loved the location. The room was big and the decor was updated. In fact, they had said they recently renovated the room. The treats were a nice touch. The only negative was a little bit of road noise, which you would probably get anywhere... More
