“Terrific Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

We recently traveled to Lancaster on a very snowy night for a surprise party. After travel for almost 3 hours, we arrived at the hotel. We had a easy check-in and absolutely had the most wonderful room. After such a long drive in, it was nice to have a nice room to relax in. Also, it was great knowing we could go right to the lobby for a drink. It is a very spacious hotel with many things to do and a great location for all the Lancaster County Attractions. My husband and I had a wonderful visit and are already planning our next stay at the Host.

“Outdated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

We got a Groupon for this place for $53 and that's the max I think I would be willing to pay. The place is big and the room was nice and clean and the bed was very comfy but the whole place is outdated. The carpets were old, the bathroom was not updated and the whole place just had a stagnated feel to it. The gym machines looked like they were from the 80s. Overall, it's clean but not worth more than $50/ night

“DD”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

In its day, this resort would have been extravagant. Today, it leaves a lot to be desired. The free wireless internet was sporadic in the room - had to go to the lobby to have access. Room was nice and large and the bed was very comfortable - could have used another chair. A lot of stairs for my wife who has a problem with stairs.

Room Tip: Request a room close to the lobby. Some are a looooong way from the lobby.

“Back to the 50's”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

Currently staying at this "resort" to attend a conference. The best that I can say is that this hotel is easy to find. This "resort" is seriously in need of an overhaul - not just in the rooms but in the way that the hotel is managed as well. I arrived last night and had an easy check in but just about collapsed due to heat stress when I entered my room. The heating system here apparently only either heats or cools the ENTIRE hotel. Thus, each room has a space heater supplied along with the wall thermostat and it is impossible to cool a room individually. My room must have been at 90F when I walked in so I then tried to call the front desk to find out how I could cool it down (no windows open). Unfortunately, the phone was dead, so I grabbed my stuff and walked, and walked and walked (I am not exaggerating the distance from the back rooms to the lobby) back to the front desk. The front desk clerk was apologetic and ran down to check another room before I moved in - basically she went down and unplugged the space heater and turned off the thermostat. The temperature in that room was fine however, the decor and electronics are seriously dated. No flat screen TVs and relatively sporadic internet service (although it is free). This hotel does have a small fitness area with 1 each treadmill, elliptical, weight machine and stationary bicycle - that room was pleasantly cool and equipped with a large flat screen TV. I was the only one who I saw using it. The only downside was that I had to walk right through the lobby to get to it. I also was not pleased when I discovered that there was no hairdrier in my room, although a quick stop at the front desk did result in a speedy delivery. On the positive side - my bed was comfortable and the water in the shower was hot. My room is relatively clean but the housekeepers today seemed to skip the coffee maker and basically the overall attitude is one of mediocrity. This hotel was probably last updated in the 80s and really isn't up to the standards of today.

Dear Valued Guest,

We are pleased you enjoyed your visit with us here at the Lancaster Host. We are grateful that you took time to comment regarding your experience and appreciative of your positive review and wonderful scores in each individual category.

During your visit the hotel was in the midst of replacing two of our four boilers which had the potential to decrease the amount of heat available to guest rooms. As a precautionary measure, the hotel purchased small (safe) heaters and placed them in certain guest rooms to ensure sufficient heat for our guests.

As for the overall condition of the hotel; I can assure you that our hotel management team as well as our corporate team is dedicated to an ongoing program to update the facility as funding is available, unfortunately this may not happen as quickly as we would like for our guests.

Thank you for choosing the Host, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and we appreciate your patronage, and we look forward to seeing you again next year, if not sooner.

“Lancaster Host Resort, Lancaster, PA Jan 2013”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

We booked a room at the Lancaster Host Resort in January of 2013 through a Groupon deal. After booking our room, I went online and found dissappointing reviews. I was very nervous about it until we got there. I must say, we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were very nice and clean. The heat was set higher then we liked so we set the thermostat back when we first entered the room. The indoor pool was absolutly beautiful and clean and yes, in service !!. They have a very nice play room for young children. The workout equipment in the exercise room was clean and in working order. There was a TV in the workout area as well. Each and every person of the staff that we came in contact with was very polite, accomodating and as pleasant as the day is long. Some of the carpets do still need to be replaced because of being old, but they were clean. We will definatly be back !! Very relaxing and enjoyable.
