We stayed three nights here just prior to Thanksgiving 2012.

The hotel appears to serve primarily business travelers as there are mostly businesses and offices nearby.

Being a holiday week there were few people there beside us and the hotel was very quiet.

While it is located in the Lancaster area and is very nice it is probably not the best choice for people who wish to be near the tourist areas just east of the city.

The hotel was very clean, in a [n otherwise] good location and what little interaction I had with the staff was very positive.

We discovered after checking in we were supplied with only one bath towel and the young man at the front desk was more than happy to track down a few more for us.

Speaking of towels, I guess my only [slight] negative is that while new the towels were amazingly thin and cheap looking.

The front desk also had a nice policy where they would give guests a printed card with directions and contact information to area restaurants, attractions, stores etc. This was very handy and they seemed to be able to pull out a card for just about everything.

There were several computers in the lobby area with free internet. There was also a printer for airline boarding passes and that service appeared free also. Compare that to huge add-on charges for these things in places like Vegas and LA.

The hotel has a pool but being November we weren't exactly interested and I think it was closed for the season anyway.

There was plenty of free parking and the room and bathroom were reasonably spacious and there was a sofa bed in addition to a king.

For a great dinner I recommend the nearby Greenfield Inn.

I don't pay full rate for anything so I doubt I'd come here again unless I got another good hit on Priceline.

I definitely recommend the hotel and while it is acceptable for tourist travelers it seems more appropriate for business travelers.

I'll preface this by saying that I am a frequent business traveler and an infrequent reviewer. My fiance and I had the opportunity to visit the Courtyard by Marriott in Lancaster, PA for a wedding a few weeks ago and our experience was completely average despite for the excellent service provided by the hotel's security staff.

My fiance happened to leave a brand new jacket at the wedding by accident, which we noticed by the time we were on our way to the airport the next day and she had already chalked up as a lost cause. I immediately contacted the security team (lost and found) and left a voice mail describing the item as best I could. The very next day, I received a call from a member of the security team who said they had the item and would be happy to ship it back to us overnight. I had the jacket in hand the next day.

It's that kind of service -- above and beyond -- that truly sets an average hotel apart from a great hotel. Kudos to your staff and security team for taking the time to help us out and demonstrating a high level of commitment to customer service.

We stayed at the Courtyard for one night during a trip to Lancaster. The hotel is recently updated and the room was very spacious. That said ... traveling with my mother and son, we had 2 queen beds but the hotel would not allow a fold up bed to be used in the room (so we could each have our own). The room was HUGE and had plenty of room, so I have no idea why, but it was a disappointment. The hotel is very convenient to the highway and local attractions and the free wireless internet was a great benefit!

I am a marriot gold member and I was underwhelmed by the courtyard in Lancaster. The hotel advertises that it has been upgraded, but I was not in an upgraded room. The curtain was torn, the bed lumpy. Being a gold member has no benefits in this hotel other than a free drink at the bar (only 1, no matter how long you stay). I also found this hotel priced more that other similar hotels in the area.
