The Union Hotel

My husband and I stayed here one night in room 302. It was perfect. Very clean and spacious and exceeded our expectations. Great location in downtown Gettysburg with plenty around in walking distance. We would stay again! Another nice bonus was the coffee maker and microwave, some coffees and teas and muffins and fresh apples.

The hotel is a bit different in that it seems to operate like a B&B - no desk staff after 8pm, and in the am at check-out. The included parking is off of the alley behind the hotel, fairly common for Gettysburg. The location of the hotel is good, however a room at the front may have a bit of street noise as it is on a very busy street. We stayed in the Lincoln Suite, which is roomy and attractive. Decorated in a eclectic style, it leans a bit towards minimalistic, but is quite comfortable. The room could benefit from a pouf ottoman to rest your feet on after a long day exploring. I did not find any drinks coasters. The area rug in the bedroom was a problem for us - it is easy to trip on as it does slip around and wrinkle up. If you have mobility issues, do be cautious. Was our room noisy? It is towards the rear, so street noise was not much of an issue. Interior noise from guests was a bit. While common in hotels of all types, it is more so in older buildings. I believe the person above us got in their 10k steps while we watched an episode of Moonshiners. Hallway doors slammed LOUDLY often. Day 2 there was a bit of construction outside of our window ? at 6:58AM. Power saw, hammering, drilling - stopped after about 2 hours. We loved the train though! For the (even off-season) room rate I was surprised that they do not provide robes, and that the provided guest toiletries (Beekman) are not a bit more upscale, nor are they replenished. The shampoo & conditioner are in super hard, small plastic bottles, so it’s difficult work to get the product out. There was not a shower cap or vanity kit, and I don't know if they could be requested. The tub and shower were both very nice, and we enjoyed them. Please consider providing more than 2 towels. Sadly, we did not enjoy the food items or canned juice left for breakfast! :( I will not say more than that. There are some good restaurants in easy walking distance. It is a nice hotel, and comfortable. Good parking, and in a convenient location.

My husband and I stay in Gettysburg pretty often, and I have always wanted to stay at the historic Union Hotel. It's beautiful, conveniently located, spotless, pleasantly decorated, and had everything we needed for a brief visit. One of the reasons I selected the Union is because it mentioned that it is quiet at night. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. There is nothing that can be done about road noise. Neighboring guests are something else. Loud voices projected into our bedroom for hours. Then in very early morning they hit their snooze alarm for over an hour, making it impossible to fall back asleep. It would have been perfect if all guests were on the same page with the feel of the hotel. The quiet time advertised should be communicated to guests.
