The MBAs with "big big plans" advising the staff (mostly the previous staff) have left, and left the folks behind trying to implement style effects without the tools they really need. So, an early review that it has changed,and we don't know exactly what it will turn into. The murals are gone. Enjoy the pictures on the site while they last. OLD review: I hesitate to recommend this lest you come. it's a secret place, that is chill. happy hour prices are great. so, come, but not too often because I like it quiet. The folks who work here appear to be real people and have helped when I needed it and my employer was not able to. I've come long enought that I thought I should pay them the complement.

The bouncers are always the friendliest people there. Don't expect kindness from anyone after you walk down to the bar (unless you go to the bartender with the long curly hair- she is the best!) Other than her and maybe a few exceptions, every bartender will give you the cold shoulder, ignore you, or act overall incredibly rude as if you are inconveniencing them for ordering a drink. Also, ALWAYS ask to close your tab right away. Drink wise, they're honestly pretty good but can get pricey fast. The music is usually pretty good and on a busy night, it's good vibes. This is all coming from someone who has been here 5+ times. If it's not crowded or the music isn't good, you're essentially paying upwards of $5 just to get in and be treated poorly.

When I spoke to the front desk, the gal interrupted me defensively to explain why there was noise. I had to run the air conditioning to mask the noise from the patio and also the road behind the hotel; the result was that I had to listen to the droning air conditioning and that my room was freezing. I also experienced issues with printing a tax exempt form and the staff finding it. The printer I used printed only a portion of the form so the staff suggested I email it to him. He said he received it and signed it and took the taxes and fees off the bill. The day of my departure, the occupancy tax was present on my bill. I visited the front desk and another staff said he found my form and it would be taken care of. An hour or so later, the bill hadn't been corrected so I called and spoke with another clerk (day shift) who stated she would look for the tax exemption form and take care of the bill. It was closer to my departure time and still no correction so I called down again and she admitted she couldn't find the form and wasn't sure if it was lost and the email deleted so I sent it again before the situation was handled. I complained to an area manager who emailed back apologizing and saying my feedback was valuable and would be used for training purposes, etc ... The response wasn't helpful considering how little sleep I got and how dissatisfied I was with my stay. Sometimes things happen but it's how they're handled that makes a difference. At check-in, if my room preference couldn't be granted, this should have been clearly stated. When a complaint was made about the noise from the patio, the desk clerk shouldn't be defensive and interrupt, rather she should have listened and, if possible, offer a solution. I have no idea what the problem was with the tax exemption form but two people said they had the form and it would be handled but then it wasn't. The third person, the morning of checkout, did everything possible to help and was friendly about it so thank you. In the end, Sue, the morning of departure, was friendly and helpful; the unseen housekeeping staff was great as my room was very clean. The door, however, was broken as turning the knob down wouldn't open it -- only pulling it up worked. The shower was great. The bed was uncomfortable and the bedding too thin. Breakfast was definitely better than at other nearby hotels -- more choices, the items seemed of better quality, and were more attractively presented. I'm disappointed with my experience and recall having similarly disappointing experiences at this property years ago which is why it's been so long since I returned.

The burger was that good. Because I want to end on a positive, let me start with negatives: the fries were okay. Normally these are a side dish not worth mentioning but this restaurant makes them a star with a fry menu. ( I humbling suggest they try frying in beef tallow to make it a whole other fry experience). The other critical comment is my French onion soup (on take out) was really cold and we weren't late nor (but for the fries) anything else cold. To give you reference, I microwaved for 1 minute and was still cold and did another 1:30. But it was delicious. Now, why 5 stars? The burgers. My son and I both got the Lancaster burger with horseradish mayo on the side and substituting wagyu. It was heaven. It was perfection. We still think and talk about that burger and any food that makes you miss is worth 5 stars!

My mom talked about this property for years. She lived in Pennsylvania and attended a wedding and…read moreshe was always convinced I'd love it here. I was living in California and every time I'd get back to the east coast, she'd suggest going here. Unfortunately, we never got to experience a visit here together after she suddenly passed from an aggressive cancer. It became my goal to come here and visit with her on my mind. Years later, I moved back to the east coast and booked a random weekend just for fun. I'm married now with kids so we made the drive here to experience all that the Omni had to offer. I've stayed at other Omni resorts and I wavered on what this place would land on ratings wise. Overall, it's a beautiful hotel with a lot of history that I loved learning about. My kids absolutely loved the indoor pool. It is as gorgeous as the photos look. It's a nice spot, especially when it's a chilly Pennsylvania day like when we visited. With that said, there isn't a ton to do here with kids. It was the perfect amount of time for us, but met other families who were struggling to keep their own kids occupied. There are some really nice trails around the property, which are perfect. And you can also check out some free toys and games from one of the shops inside. That said, if you don't have great weather, options can be limited. We didn't get a chance to visit the spa, but the space looks amazing from what I saw online. The rooms were spacious and well set up for a family. We ate at a few of the restaurants on site. Service was mostly on point though the tavern was really off. Our server was perfectly friendly but pretty much messed up the entire order. I would go back but not sure I'd be eager to rush back anytime soon. We did enjoy the experience but I think a few bumps could be worked out such as helping with our luggage upon arrival. We were able to valet but couldn't find anyone to help us with the bags and the rolling carts don't easily go over the front door to get inside. Between me and my partner, we were able to make it work. But it's those small details that make a property really stand out.

Below the Union Hotel is a tavern called Mona's which is connected and an addition to The Union Hotel restaurant/12 room hotel. There's parking along the Main Street, as well as lots of spots in the back of the building. You can enter from the main entrance of the hotel and take the elevator down or you can head down the steps in the back to enter. Doesn't matter which way, just get here. We were absolutely blown away by the quality, portions, flavor profiles, and service in this little gem. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately by a super friendly bartender named Matt. He was very attentive, friendly and welcoming. He was always checking up on us and making sure that we were always good. Service was fabulous. There's a timeline of the history of this historic building on the back of the menu. We ordered two drinks. One was an apple cider margarita and the other was a strawberry gin fizz concoction that was amazing. Both of these drinks were delicious. If we weren't driving and staying in the actual hotel above this tavern, we would have tried several other ones on the menu. Lots of creative choices that looked to be tasty based on the mix of ingredients. For the food - the menu was enticing and extensive. Lots of creative things happening here. The app we decided on was the Parmesan crusted Brussels and boy did they not disappoint. Absolutely delicious. We opted for The French Dip with fries and some magical au jus and a Union Smash burger with fries for our meals. Both are highly recommended!!! The burger was served on this delicious cloud of brioche bun and stacked high with two patties (perfectly cooked), pickles, dijonaose, and cheese. The French Dip had the most magnificent crusty roll and tender meat. Then there are these amazing Parmesan parsley fries that are perfectly cooked and served hot! We could have eaten an entire plate of these. To go boxes were needed. Big portions. We couldn't fit dessert! The bill does come with some tasty Andes mints. Prices here are extremely reasonable! I can't stress enough about how absurd it is that this small town has such a hidden treasure of a place where the food is beyond amazing. This place is a full package. If you live anywhere within an hour or even two, come here!! You won't regret this decision. Scrumptious!!!!

First thing is first. The wings are freaking great…read more Hot crisp skin, with completely rendered fat below. The meaty wings were mostly super juicy and toothsome. Hot sauce was a great balance of flavor and heat, it coated the wings beautifully and has left its perfume on my fingers all day. Ideally I would have liked a better mix of drumettes to flats. The plate of 12 was dominated by drumettes, which to some would be heaven. But here's the thing: It's sketchier than I thought. Now I'm no prude who needs linen napkins to feel at home. I've eaten in my fair share of dirty dives that are openly hostile to interlopers. But there is no two ways about this, Co 'BRH''s (pronounced Cobras) is a ramshackle bar that smells like urinal cakes or possibly some other industrial cleaning solvent. It's dark inside, and there are people doing some serious drinking at lunchtime. Pitchers of Captain Morgan and Coke are only $6.50. You can get your drink on here without blowing a lot of cash. And the place is clearly an institution. Beer mugs and pint glasses line the walls and hang from the rafters, personalized with the nicknames of patrons. I was clearly an interloper. And while I didn't find it hostile, my visit didn't find the good folks as friendly as when Keith F. made the pilgrimage. I tried to fit in. I ordered a beer. It felt like a Yuengling kind of joint. I was wrong. The woman behind the bar had a note of disdain in her voice when she explained they only had it in bottles. Sh*t. So much for fitting in. Anyhow, if you are in the area, this is a truly great place to go for wings. I just wouldn't bring your kids. Or your girlfriend.
