“So charming and lively”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

We (2 parents, 2 kids under 7) really enjoyed this hotel. I was leery at first b,/c it looks a bit like a tourist trap on the outside.. But inside its a lovely hotel with great rooms, and terrific bar / restaurant. My kids loved the gift shop, feeding the ducks, and playground. The fire pit / pond area was nice as well, though the playground, pond, and fire pit are a bit close to the highway so expect to hear traffic. The pool was small but nice. Stop by the bar early since I think it closes by 9 or so, but be sure to get a tomato bisque while there. Delish!!!

Room Tip: For anyone with kids the bunk beds are a great choice!

“Beautiful hotel at a great price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013 via mobile

This by far the best value hotel we state at during our trip. Essentially it's a 5 star hotel at a very very reasonable price. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean, the beds super comfy, and the service very friendly. The included buffet breakfast was also very good. I'd definitely recommend stayin at this hotel. You would never be able to find this sort of hotel at this price elsewhere.

“Excellent Place to Stay!!!!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

We have stayed at the Fulton Steamboat Inn 4 times so far and plan to go back as often as we can. You can't ask for a better place to stay in Lancaster, PA. The staff is extremely friendly. The entire Inn, including the rooms, are clean and beautifully decorated, and my 4 year old absolutely loves the duck pond, fish pond, play area, and pool.

“Excellent place to have fun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

To start out, I am a Embassy Suite person, I love to stay at Hilton's as the service is always wonderful.
This time I decided to break the trend as a friend had suggested this place and stayed at steamboat for 3 nights.
We loved every moment of it. The place is beautifully decorated. It is extremely clean and very kids friendly. I loved the nautical theme.
I had 2 girls with me and the little one loved to go for a stroll and the staff was so wonderful, that they made a point to say hello to them.
We ate at the huckleberry restaurant and the food was really really good. The cheese omelette tasted extremely good. Service was very very good.
Dutch winter land is stone throw away and is really very good place for kids.

All of us loved this place and we plan on visiting them again in Sept.

Thanks for the wonderful memories Captain :)

Room Tip: Choose 1st floor as you can see fishes swimming by.
