It was a great suite. A nice separation between living room and bedroom and large bathroom. Parking would have been better if the alley way was open all the way through.

Thank you for staying with us. The alley was closed for a few weeks due to some repairs being made. It has since reopened.

It’s a beautiful old Civil War era home with amazing history, but be careful…The location is literally in the heart of Gettysburg, which is great. What’s not great is the noise level. Every car, semi, motorcycle etc coming into town goes through the roundabout right outside the front door/windows. And you can literally hear the people talking on the street…I mean word for word. Additionally, there’s a need for some DEEP cleaning…throw rugs made my socks brown. A removed a dirty/stained tablecloth to clean the dirty table before we could eat on it. The vanity lights in the bathroom didn’t work, none of the blinds had the rod to open/close them, there are cracks in the ceiling/walls. I know it’s old, but it’s time to put some money back into this old house. I will say the bed was decent - not today’s 3 &4 star hotel quality but definitely a beautiful antique. Best wishes to the owners. We tried something different on our travels but should we return to the area, this will not be our “go to”.

We are sorry that you did not thoroughly enjoy your stay. I can tell you that we are planning on making some interior and exterior improvements to the inn over the next several months. There is little we can do about the noise in the square although we are looking into a potential solution that may help mitigate the issue. While we are not the quietest spot in town, we certainly are the most convenient and centrally located. I suppose that ultimately, each traveller needs to decide what is most important to him or her. Thank you for your visit with us.

Thank you for staying with us. We are glad you enjoyed your visit. As a small 5 room inn, we do not have full time staff but my wife and I are are just a few minutes away and can be reached via phone or text for anything needed. We also do provide coffee and tea in each room but there is no coffee station as we simply don't have the room. Thank you again for your visit.

We stayed in one of the most historical areas of Gettysburg, next to the building where Abraham Lincoln finished the Gettysburg Address. We prefer the Eva Danner towns house over the Sarah Danner townhouse, where we stayed last year. The layout is easier to navigate and more comfortable beds. I would stay here again, next time we visit the area.

This townhouse was a home away from home. The location incredible to be able to walk out the front door, and a few steps into the square. We slept as comfortable as if we were in our own house. The hosts were kind and accommodating. The history of the building, along with the location, added to the feel of the history of the Civil War. The entire experience gave us new appreciation for the battle that our forefathers fought as we could feel their deep sorrow and their love for country. The visit to the battlefield brought about a spirit that you can only experience firsthand and has no words to do it justice. This town house, with its location, conjured emotions of patriotic love of country and love for our fellow brothers and sisters.

The property location is fantastic not a single complaint there. This very well could be a 5star location however the inside is not updated with any a/c upstairs. Rather 1 window unit which for the days we were there it was 90 degrees so you roasted. The bathroom is in need of a makeover. The inside could be updated some. With all the traffic in and out didn't look like the carpet on the steps were vacuumed in months. Shame property could be so much more. I work for many property owners that rent out buildings. I can tell no effort is put into the landscaping in the back to get to the rooms. Those little efforts go a long way in making it a great stay.

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your visit to our inn. My wife and I strive to do our very best in presenting a quality establishment that will add to every visitor's Gettysburg experience. A few things that I would like to point out: Your comment about no central AC upstairs is incorrect. There are central AC vents that feed the upstairs rooms and the additional window units are added to supplement this. The comment about the carpets not being vacuumed is incorrect also. I can assure you that they are vacuumed daily and steam cleaned periodically. We have had very few complaints about cleanliness and if you look at other reviews you will see this to be true. Regarding the size of the bathroom, there is unfortunately very little we can do about that as the house is over 200 years old and we can only work with what we have. And as far as the courtyard, we keep it very basic as we often have families with little children who will do things like pull flowers up or put mulch in our fountain. Quite honestly, you are the first person that has ever made a comment about it. The comments about the lack of proper work and paint peeling is also, I believe, unfounded. It should be noted that Gettysburg is a small town with a very limited pool of people that do repair work, construction, etc. I'm not sure where you live but again, we can only work with what we have and I'm sorry you feel it is below standard.I have tried to keep this response as polite and professional as possible, but I must address one thing that quite frankly, I believe crosses the line into a personal attack. Your comment that "It doesn't take someone long to figure out the amount made yearly" insinuates that my wife and I make a great deal of money with this business and are very stingy with what we put back into it. How dare you make a comment and assumption like this? You have no idea what we and other small business owners in this community have dealt with (and are still dealing with) throughout the whole Covid crisis. I can assure you, The Inn at Lincoln Square is not a "cash cow". If anything, we do not charge enough for our rooms. The reservation you made was through Expedia and the net dollar amount to us each night was 178 - for a 1200 square foot townhouse with 3 bedrooms. My wife and I stayed at a hotel room this summer that was 350 square feet and cost 219 for the night. I might add that this hotel was part of a multi billion dollar conglomerate. We are a small 5 room family run inn.Lastly, given the fact that you went out of your way to bash us in two places (Google and Expedia), I can't help but wonder if there wasn't another motivation behind your review. It makes me suspicious because I noticed that you happened to give a 5 star review to another establishment in town, the owner of which has a personal vendetta against me. It honestly makes me question what you might actually be doing here.
