I found this motel to be perfectly clean and in order. The water pressure for the shower is the best I have ever seen. The staff was very helpful and kind to give me information about the local attractions. I would stay here again! Most all attractions are within walking distance and I did not have to pay for parking!... more

My husband is temporarily working in Gettysburg in a musical. It was late and we needed a place to stay for the night. The price was reasonable. The next morning we had the complimentary danishes and juice. My husband had to prepare for rehersal. We were not ready to leave Gettysburg. They allowed me to leave my car so that... more

My husband and I found the Colten Motel inexpensive, clean, comfortable, spacious and wonderful in every way! They had free morning danish and coffee and the terrific staff treated us like family. We are now planning another trip back and the Colten is already booked for us! Jamiesons, Pennsylvania more

My husband and son and I have been staying at this motel for a long long time about 10 years and this by far was the worst year ever. And I can guarantee the last time we will stay there. First they put us in the upstairs room which would have been ok but the steps going up are narrow... more

I visited Gettysburg from Ohio on May 19th, 2009 and I chose the Colton Motel. I am a simple traveler and I only need basic lodging. After all, most of my time spent in the room will be while I am asleep. On average, the Colton was half the price of other motels in Gettysburg so that was a great... more

My family and i stayed at the Colton not so long ago and we found the condition of this motel quite repulsive. There was dirt in the corners and dust everywhere! Also, we had asked for a non- smoking room and the room still smelled like cigarettes. There were bugs that would crawl under the door and come in through... more

My husband and I stayed at this motel last year, and loved it! The manager at that time Andrew was great, and it was because of him that we decided to go back and stay there again even though he was not the manager anymore. Well let me tell you, BIG MISTAKE!!! The room was clean when we got there.... more

Fantastic location, just minutes from so many Gettysburg points of interest! We received a warm friendly welcome upon check-in. The room was spacious, comfortably furnished and pleasingly decorated. All sundries - towels, soap, cups, etc., were just as one would wish, spotless and well set out. Our room was set back far enough from the street to be private and... more

This Place was Awlful. Stayed there becuase of availability...but never again. Room was dirty. The Place looked like it hadn't be cleaned since the Civil War. Only one Light Bulb in Bathroom fixture worked. (I guess so you couldn't see the crud!) Door to the Bathroom was off its hidges. The beds, pillows, linens and towels were beat and thread... more
