I booked a regular room with two queen beds for one night stay. When I arrived, they upgraded me to…read moresuite room, which was very spacious. I didn't ask why, but it was a nice gesture on their end. As a platinum elite member with IHG, they really try to accommodate for their members well. Staff was very friendly when checking in/out and when I was looking around for a plastic fork. This was my first time staying at Holiday Inn Gettysburg and I was amazed by how new everything looked. There was a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker available to use. The bathroom had this large beautifully lit LED mirror. Room was clean and had brown modern minimalist design. Beds were really comfortable and I think they were new since there was a little sign saying "enjoy our new beds." As a Holiday Inn Express, they offer free breakfast. It's just your typical continental breakfast, but they still have some variety (cereal, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, pastries, bagels, fruit). I think the hotel is in a great location, right behind an outdoor mall, about 25 minutes from Liberty Ski Resort, few minutes from the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center. These were the few reasons why I decided to book here. The hotel was visible while driving on Route 15, but once I took the exit, it was somewhat confusing to get to the actually Holiday Inn. You have to basically go through the outdoor mall The only complaint I had was the decreased shower head water pressure. The tub was a slippery, but they had a rubber grip, which I definitely used!

I had wanted to really like this Holiday Inn. The pros of this place is the location. You can hop…read moreright back on 15 easily as the highway is right there. A decent breakfast selection. And a nice coffee bar is available all day . This place definitely needs some tlc.. here's the Cons. One elevator was down which made the Fourth of July weekend quite a long wait to catch an elevator. I am a platinum elite member and I asked for a 2 PM check out. He was unable to do that. But was able to offer a 12 PM check out. I just ended up leaving early. I got a room with two queen beds. One of the beds the sheets were not changed. There was hair all in them and I smelled them.. they smelled like dirty hair. Fortunately, the bed I slept in I believe the sheets were changed. There is no Internet TV at this hotel so if you want to watch YouTube, or Netflix, you are out of luck. The pool capacity at this hotel is only for nine people. It is the smallest hotel pool I've ever seen. All in all I wouldn't stay here again. I feel as a platinum elite member they could of done much better .

Nice looking and the staff was very kind but the overall experience was just eh. If you're here for…read morevisiting Gettysburg this is a great place to stay because you're very close to everything. There is also a shopping outlet attached to the parking lot which was very nice. The hotel itself though was just eh. Got the suite and the price was good but there were issues with the room. The microwave only worked if you "slam the door shut real hard". The bathroom door didn't lock and the furniture overall gave you a real cheap look like it was random pieces that they just threw into the room. The swimming pool was nice. Little small but nice. Main thing is that if you're looking to stay somewhere where you have a bed at the end of your adventuring then this place is perfect. If your goal is to stay in luxury then this isn't for you.

Theresa is a fantastic cook and her breakfasts are beyond delicious (especially the French toast casserole), and Steve is a fountain of information on the area and local sights to see. They helped us set up a fantastic tour. They are such gracious and welcoming hosts that I actually felt like I was staying with favorite relatives! They really go above and beyond for every single guest and they add the personal touch to make your stay very memorable. Having the breakfast meal plated and brought to you is a welcome treat and I loved my interactions with both Steve and Theresa. I will definitely stay here again when we come back to Gettysburg for another history trip vacation. I cannot say enough good things about the Lightner Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast. I highly recommend staying here and experience the top notch service!

Also, it seemed a bit cheesy with the "scary" old looking pictures and dolls through out the room. We were hoping for something closer to actual decoration of the time not uncomfortable paintings and dolls. When leaving (we left early for a family emergency) I emailed (which is the fastest communication they said. Explaining we were leaving. No reply, sent another email, no reply. Then finally in the morning I wanted to confirm they got any of the emails, and finally one came back. Communication isn't the greatest. Also, the parking is horrible. If each room has a spot. There should be a sign that it is that's room parking spot. There is no signage and if you get there in the dark your screwed to even know it the right parking lot. I had high hopes for this B&B but it definitely fell short. If you're looking for a "spooky" place this may be it. It all seemed a bit fake to me. I did appreciate the 2 fake fireplaces we had in our room. It hit under 40 over our stay at night, these were great. If you have neck/back problem-bring your own pillows or whatever you need. The pillows reminded me of the deflating hospital pillows. Also, there's a shareable hot tub and we didn't know about it. Maybe because it was off season, things weren't running smoothly? Not sure.
