Cork Factory Hotel Lancaster
I recommend a room on the 4th floor. Just be aware, there can be some noise concerns if neighbors aren’t quiet as this is a hotel in an old factory. The bar and restaurant, open in the evening, are also very nice.

Hotel Rock Lititz
Clean room, nice pool area. Good food. Unfortunately they gave us an adjoining room and the person in the other room woke us up at 4am by throwing up for an hour and we could hear it clear as day so we ended up having to vacate at 5am.

Lancaster Suites
We didn't eat breakfast there so I cannot comment on that. The room was large and clean. This is our second time staying there and when in the area again we will stay again.
