The Colton is a low end, low cost motel in Gettysburg, but it is quiet and comfortable. I stay here primarily because of the location.

We would stay there again. The location was superb walking distance to many shops and the historical party of Gettysburg. It wasn't a for star hotel, but it was decent and as stated previously, we would stay there again.

Last place I would stay in the area for sure.
It’s a last place stay at best, and the ratings must be fake. Only stayed because it was 1 night, but actually thought about sleeping in my van…would have been better on my back. Other rooms look to be long time stayers and that was not expected.

Okay for a motel 🏨
Front desk person wasn’t at desk, we had to call to let her know there were 3 people waiting to check in.
So called breakfast wasn’t ready.
AC was loud, Beds were okay but there was plastic under the sheets so made us sweat 😓
Bathroom clean, shower 🚿 worked.
I guess it wasn’t terrible for the great price of $109 tax included.

Vintage Motel Next to National Cemetery where Abe
This Vintage property is constantly upgrading. I choose it because of location and because it is a 1950's vintage motel. They have recently painted and upgraded inside and out. There are a few cosmetic upgrades needed: needs indoor lock, weather stripping on the threshold.

BASICALLY OK, but...
All was basically good, except the toilet was non-functional. I request the same room each visit, but this was the first time I encountered a problem. Staff was very quick to come and plunge, but the problem is much more significant. I will request the same room next time but only if they assure me the toilet has been fixed. WIFI/Internet on my first night was unstable but improved later. Some of this was probably not their problem. Overall I'll go back and hopefully the toilet will have been replaced or fixed.

Hard as a rock chair
My stay at the motel was fine except the single chair in the room was child size and was as hard as a rock to sit on. I mentioned this condition to the motel staff and they would see that the chair would get replaced.

Colton is good for the value
The location was great, staff was very courteous and friendly. The room was somewhat clean. The ligjt in the bathroom was filled with bugs, but the hot water was great. There is no breakfast , but for the price paid, who cares. We were only there to sleep and shower.

I always stay here and it's great . It gets better every year as constantly updating . It perfect the location as you can walk to everything. If I could I would give it 10 stars instead of 5 .
