     My family and I had a wonderful, relaxing night here. Our main complaint was that they didn't have any handicapped accessible rooms available that night. We had two King linking rooms on the third floor and both were very comfortable. All the amenities were working and the lobby had a lovely Christmas tree just put up by the Front Desk attendant and her son. The lobby area would be ideal for a Christmas party with a fireplace and a snug area of couches and chairs for conversation. This is a fairly rural area just off Interstate 68, Exit 22, on the PA-MD border. It is in the snow belt and even then day we were here in late November, there was snow and ice, not a lot, but it was there. The hot water can be an issue in the mornings. At 9:00 AM, several people were complaining that there was no hot water when we were enjoying the Breakfast Bar which was very good. The Front Desk attendant said to be patient and give it a chance to heat up again. We opted for a late checkout at noon and by the time we got our showers, the water was very nice and hot. This might be a problem for a businessman on a tight schedule. The Coffee Bar was very good and open all the time. There were carts for loading and unloading luggage and an elevator. The area seemed pretty safe and we didn't worry much about parking our heavily parked van in the lot. There is a local pizza place featured by the hotel with incredibly good pizza that delivers, so we didn't even have to go out in the rain and light snow to get our dinner. All in all, this was a great night for our family.
