I had an excellent experience, but it was not what I expected. Perhaps if I had read the description and studied the photos I would not have been surprised. I am writing these notes as a recommendation for people not looking for a modern, upscale hotel, but for a hotel that has a connection with historic Gettysburg. First, location, right at the central square (circle) of Gettysburg, and less than a mile walk to the National Cemetery. In the afternoon and evening the square is bustling (noisy), and was audible in my room. It was not a problem for me, but might be for the quiet-conscious. Second, the building is old, not per se "preserved", but certainly historically connected -- it is well maintained (bathroom, etc), but the stairway is (charmingly) wonky. My room was in the attic/garret - plenty of space, original floor, roof framing, toilet/shower/kitchen area set in loft-style. The weather was hot (low 90s), and the room was kept comfortable with noisy a/c, which was not needed once the sun went down and the weather cooled. If you want to visit Gettysburg and not be anesthetized by the experience of a standard/branded hotel (there are plenty in the area), this is perfect.
