Clarion Inn Strasburg – Lancaster

Not as advertised. Indicated that we would be in an historic district. Instead there is the hotel and restaurant and nothing else. Front desk staff ignored us when we complained about the complete loss of hot water in the shower. Rooms are older and the breakfast area was not particularly clean. If you’re looking for historic Lancaster County experience, keep looking!

Great value, very clean. I love smelling bleach on the sheets. The room could use a paint job and the renovations were not finished properly, the crown molding was not properly installed. Continental breakfast left a lot to be desired. I like that they give you 2 different kinds of pillows so you can see what you like best. The fireside restaurant next door has a friendly wait staff and Kelly who was a wonderful bartender. We will come back.

The location and the affordability is the best things to stay here. The location is a little out of the way, but since it’s so cheap, it’s worth the drive to Lancaster or Strasburg.
The room is sparse, but providing you’re gonna be out and about amongst the Amish, a TV, a rocking chair and a couple of twin beds you’ll be alright.

Stayed one night over Columbus Day and found this place to be very cute and clean. A shame we could only stay one night. The room was a double queen and was quiet and comfortable all night. The beds were very cozy. Didn’t really get to use TV or coffee pot but WIFI was great. Breakfast also much better than I expected. Even tho we arrived at 9:00 (served from 7am-​10am) it was still warm and had plenty to offer.
My only complaint would be that although the water pressure in the shower was perfect, the faucet settings did not allow for warm. You had to choose either hot or cold which was a bit frustrating. But everything was very clean and the double in/​out sink was very convenient.
I would love to stay again and try the gym and sauna.

Very pleased. Was here as part of a wedding package at only $ 99 a night, which was very reasonable including a hot breakfast. They asked me if I minded being in a «pet» room (I came in that Friday and that was all they had), which was no problem. Room was spacious, everything was clean and perfect, not like some other reviewers claimed. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

I felt reluctant to sleep in this disgusting room. Chipped walls, bugs EVERYWHERE, stains on furniture, a ripped and stained mattress, this room is flat out bad. Thank god I’m only staying here for one night, I couldn’t do more than one. Overall a bad room with a strange smell. DO NOT COME HERE!!!

The pictures they show look lime a great room. Not what we got as an upgraded suite. Pictures are actual suite they sell. Maybe there are nicer rooms but I woukdnt take the gamble since you coukd get our nightmare.
Bugs in bathroom floor. Mattress walls furniture with stains. This was their higher end suite. If you dont heed advice bring Clorox wipes and flip flops. Never again.
Even mattress had that you rolled into the center. Also stairs to get to rooms even on first floor.

Nice location. Needs some upkeep. Pictures do not do justice to what it actually looks like. Pets are allowed which is a bonus for me. Although, when I turned my sink and shower on, brown thick dirty water came from it. The lady at the desk said to let it run. I asked, is it safe to drink and she said yes. I’m sorry but is brown dirty thick sink water really safe to drink??? Interesting place. Free breakfast though!

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful hotel stay here this past weekend. Our room was very clean. Excellent location for many venues, but just off of the busy Rt. 30. The continental breakfast is well above anything you will find elsewhere. I would highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again.

Big Disappointment, Most units require climbing steps a huge pain moving luggage in with No help or luggage racks. Desk staff not friendly acted like they couldn’t be bothered. Rooms are very old, Air conditioners barely cooled rooms. Phone in room didn’t work, hair dryer was not working. The poor maintenance man was friendly but overworked. No bargain, you will pay big price for aging dump. Checked out and went to nearby Motel ‚(Quiet Haven) and got better room for half the price.

I didn’t read the reviews before I stayed and I am glad that I did not. I am not sure why everything has to be «NEW» in order for people to satisfied.
This is an INN it’s located in a historic, laid back part of Amish Country. It reflects the town that it is located in. Why would anyone expect a gleaming high rise or a modern hotel in this town.
It has a bed and breakfast feel, quit and charming. The room was spacious, equipped with all the amenities of a «modern» hotel. The WIFI is decent bathroom had two vanity area strong shower and was clean.
The restaurant was nice and hopping. We just had cocktails and loaded fries. The service was pleasant.
We attended Sight & Sound Theatre and if you haven’t been please put it on your bucket list. It is located less than ½ mile away.
Enjoy!

Stayed here as part of a wedding block. It’s really more of motel than a hotel. Their check-​in is ridiculously late at 4pm which bothered me after traveling 3+ hours to get there and our room wasn’t ready upon arrival at 3:30. Rooms were spacious and equipped with a fridge and microwave for convenience and they offer a hot continental breakfast. I did find the room to be a bit dirty, including the shower, towels and fridge. People were also camping out in the middle of the grounds right outside the rooms, smoking meat in a covered tent which was totally random since we weren’t staying at a camp ground. For $ 130 (and that was a group rate!!!), for a stay of less than 24 hours, I expected more, especially from a small country town.

Tired. That pretty much sums it up. Not terrible, not great. A little worn down, but nice location. Room rates are about 20% below newer, nicer hotels, which seems about right.
It has a hopping bar/​restaurant called Fireside Tavern as part of the complex, which is ok, and is reviewed on Unilocal.It’s also next to a small plaza with a nice, simple «self serve» pizza place, Strasburg Pizza Italian Restaurant.
The hotel needs a makeover and a general fix-​up. It could be really nice with a little investment, but perhaps the owners are happy getting by as it is and charging a bit less.
Spread across a pleasant patch of countryside, in about 4 buildings. Very close the the Strasburg Railroad, Pennsylvania Rail Museum, and several train-​themed stores in Strasburg.
Good for a night or two, if you’re expecting modest, plain accommodation. Otherwise try Wingate, Country Inn & Suites, etc closer to Lancaster.

My husband Rick and I took our niece Allison and our nephew Brian to Strasburg for the weekend. We chose this hotel because it was pretty close to the attractions we wanted to see. The photos on their website don’t lie. This is one of the nicest hotels in the area.
The rooms at this place our wonderfully appointed. Ours had a rocking chair, chest of drawers at the foot of the bed, and a nice desk & work area. The lobby is rather elegant with leather chairs and a working fireplace. The hotel also has continental breakfast included (always a plus, especially when you’re traveling with children) and a fitness facility.
The only drawback is that the pool is outdoors (and thus closed for the season when we were there). But the pool deck is really nice. And if you do visit here during the summer, they have a picnic area and bike rentals.
