Western Inn

This place should be condemned and that is not even an exaggeration. When we pulled up, we were astonished to find a broken trampoline in the front yard, with no safety netting, mismatched patio furniture dumped in various spots all over the front lawn, junk everywhere, weeds, and a lawn that hasn’t been mowed in months. Imagine the worst looking motel you have ever driven by…. This was 100 times worse. Each motel room facade is different from the next, the paint doesn’t match, windows are broken, there are old cars and a broken down short bus parked out front. Random junk on porches of some rooms, with exterior walls patched but not painted. It’s an eyesore and looks like a dumping ground. We kept right on driving and our impressions were validated by the other reviews we read later. I might actually have nightmares about this place. No matter how bad we can describe it, it is even worse.

Would not recommend. Unfortunate circumstances landed me and my family at the western in from may to the first week of august. In the beginning mark the owner/manager was a godsend. He was good to my kids and worked with us on rent while we were getting on our feet. But at the end of school his wife moved to the property full time for the summer and things went downhill quickly. The other tenants are loud. Obnoxious and nosey. Amanda discusses everyone’s business with everyone. One tenant has a dog that is kept on the porch of there room so you smell urine and feces constantly. The water system is a mess. Breakers pop. The Wi-Fi was useless. We had mold in our room and there are several decrepit rooms with mold and mildew. You could smell the mold coming from the basement. Cleaning services were not offered and she got angry about people using their vacuum or broom to clean but then complained that the room was left dirty when we left. She constantly had my children afraid when I was at work by threatening to kick us out at every chance. Eventually our parking space was even taken from us. My child broke her arm on their personal property and no accommodation was offered at all. And the broken trampoline is still in the front of the property. The view is terrible unless you’re into broken down vehicles and or vehicles with no tags sitting in the lot. There is no room for improvement with the current managements wife on the property and no reasonable expectation of privacy. Was never happier to leave a place in my life

This motel is a diamond in the rough and is going to be even better when they finish up their current renovations. The new owner and staff at Western Inn are phenomenal! If you have any issue with your stay, they do everything in their power to fix it immediately. The room I stayed in was so clean! I felt at home and comfortable there. I NEVER typically feel comfortable walking barefoot in my hotel/motel room because the floors are often so dirty. This room was so clean that I felt fine in doing so and even played with my dog on the floor. I had an electric fireplace in my room, which was a nice touch for cooler days. My AC worked great while I visited and was needed this time around. And even though my pillows looked a little dated, they were very clean. Actually, my entire bedding set smelled as though it had just been washed for me that day of arrival. 😊 If you are interested in a friendly staff, a clean room, being still close to everything but away from the downtown scene....this is the place for you. This is also a great option if you are traveling with a dog that has some issues getting up and down stairs. These rooms are all at ground level, so you go right out your door to let them potty in the grass nearby. If you are interested in history and visiting Gettysburg for that reason, there is the 1800s McCurdy Schoolhouse across the street from the motel as well! New management means this motel is going to be a place you will want to check out!
