Quality Inn At General Lee’S Headquarters

This motel is located right on the edge of the Gettysburg battlefield and right neat down town.
The rooms were clean and well kept.
And the employees were very friendly and courtesy. Especially considering the place was full of bikers.
The only down side was no fridges in the rooms. Had to keep refilling ice bucket.
Fantastic area great for a family vacation, lots of history.

For a room on a budget, in a tourist town, in season, this place met all expectations. It is an old American style motor lodge but it has been updated recently. Very cozy, clean, and friendly. Easy access to downtown, battlefield, and highways. We called at 7pm from an hour away on a major tourist weekend. They had a room and were happy to accommodate our evening arrival.

Reserved a room last minute on a holiday and staff was very friendly and accommodated our late check-​in. Beautiful view as it is right next to the battlefield. And conveniently right next door to Antietam Brewing for dinner and drinks! Rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable. A little too cool for swimming, but pool was clean and well kept, with plenty of seating around pool area. Also had a museum/​gift shop that had better souvenirs then the shops in town had! Can’t wait to come back!

My daughters and I stayed for 2 nights and had a very pleasant time. Every staff person was as friendly and helpful as can be. We had a double queen room that was clean and comfortable. The beds seemed new, the sheets were crisp and spotless and the pillows were great. Bathroom was equally clean and updated. My kids loved the breakfast: eggs and sausage, waffles, cereal, fruit, yogurt, bagels, etc. Nothing gourmet but a good selection and fresh. Too cold for the pool but it looked nice.
I especially want to applaud the owners for maintaining a tiny but lovely free museum in the old stone house on the motel property that was General Lee’s headquarters. I was told they had a museum curator document all the objects and create the exhibits. It’s a little house and a little museum but it’s impeccably presented. And it’s free. Yes, there’s a nice gift shop next door, so they probably recoup some of the costs that way, but kudos for a job well done. Check out the surgeon’s kit — the hack saw sent shudders down my spine.

Loved! Last weekend was my first trip to Gettysburg and we stayed here at the Quality Inn. Everyone who works here is so nice! When we checked in we got a history of the hotel and the significance of the site (the hotel is basically on where the first shots were fired and you can see the hotel from the audio tour of the battlefield) and a ton of brochures to help us pick and choose what we wanted to do. Being from the city where people grunt and curse at you as a form of communication, this was heaven.
The rooms are super clean. Breakfast was pretty good. Nothing too special there but enough to choose from and get you ready to go for the day. General Lee’s museum and gift shop is also attached the the hotel. The museum is free (super small but interesting) and the gift shop is really cute.
Appalachian Brewing Company is also basically in the parking lot of the hotel. We ate there and it was great!
Definitely are go to hotel when in Gettysburg from now on!

For $ 100 a night (for a suite) this can’t be beat. It’s outside of «downtown Gettysburg» and faces the battlefield. Very quiet and clean. The staff was kind and helpful. It’s connected to the Appalachian Brewing Company but be warned that they close at midnight. Even on a weekend. We stopped in for a nightcap and had to grab beer to go. (Not to mention the beer was terrible).
I’d stay here again. Clean and worth the price.

This place is solid. I adore staying here. It has a special place in my heart. You see, this is where my now-​husband and I spent our very first night together on the date that wasn’t supposed to be a date four years ago. We originally met through Craigslist when I was looking for someone to replace my sister who had dropped out of ghost hunting with me — totally a platonic event which was pulled off two days before it happened. A few clicks and non-​scary pics later, I had this room booked back then. We stayed up until 4 AM talking and then when we got up the next day at 7 AM we picked right back up. Back then we had a king room which was huge, clean, and comfy.
Flash forward to this past weekend when we stopped in unplanned on our 1^st wedding anniversary road trip. We gravitated back to this place with no thought to it. Since it was the off-​season, they had plenty of rooms available; my husband upgraded us to one of the suites with the jacuzzi tub in the room. It was very tastefully done, and I remarked that the tiling in the bathroom shower would be something that I’d want him to do at home. This suite was king-​sized, private, and had a nice patio which, were the weather warmer, we’d have sat outside and watched the sunset over the battlefield. However, with below freezing temps and snow on the ground, we passed. There was also a sofa in the room, and a refrigerator. Honestly, I’ve seen apartments that were smaller than this suite. Even being far away from home base there, we had outstanding internet reception both on our phones and our laptop
The service was outstanding. Breakfast is in the main part of the hotel which is also nicely decorated. It’s your standard breakfast, but the breakfast room looks out over the battlefield and there is a homey feeling to it.
We will always come to Gettysburg and we will always stay here. You won’t regret it if you do choose here.

I’m really surprised by all of the positive reviews. This is definitely not the worst hotel I’ve stayed in, but I felt that the description on the Quality Inn website was misleading This is simply a mid-​century motel with a makeover. No more, no less. Our room was tiny by even Manhattan standards. It was clean, but not comfortable due to its minuscule size. I definitely wouldn’t recommend to a friend or stay there again.

Friendly staff.
3 PM check in strictly enforced with no exceptions.
Continental breakfast doesn’t hold a candle to Hampton or Comfort, but it works.
Nice clean property, nice rooms in a nice setting. Assigned parking and that’s a BIG plus.
The take that this was Lees HQ is debated among Civil war buffs, but no question Lee was in the vicinity.
Evening walks along the adjacent Seminary Ridge road is amazing with Lightning bugs and beautiful buildings and historic markers to check out.
Tavern next door has good food and great service.

A great place to stay for a true Gettysburg experience. Right next door to the battlefield. Rooms are clean, staff wonderful, prices are reasonable. The breakfast is an upgraded continental but it’s satisfying. I highly recommend this place. Be sure to visit General Lee’s HDQ right on the premises.

This is a well run establishment. Rooms lovingly maintained and clean. Impeccable lobby. Awesome view of Seminary Ridge. Because my grandfather knew the former owner, Mr. Larson, we have stayed here before and if the rates are under $ 100 night (as they should be), we will stay again. Now with new management, this motel still is a great place for a good night’s rest. There were no bed bugs as one reviewer somewhere wrote. There is an on-​site restaurant and outdoor pool. The front lobby staff was helpful.
There is an Internet booth in the lobby and a continental breakfast with fresh fruit. I would assume anyone staying hear for the 150^th anniversery will pay top dollar. I’m assuming this place is popular with college student families and people who are affiliated with the Lutheran Theological Seminary across the street.
An overall very good choice for Gettysburg!

A typical, perfectly acceptable Quality Inn property. We got the AAA rate of $ 104 for a queen bed.
We went on a spontaneous visit to Gettysburg over the Labor Day weekend. Checking for accommodations while on the road, we got the mistaken impression we’d be staying in a building that served as Gen. Lee’s headquarters. (Not that we’re fans of the Confederacy.) Instead, this is a pretty average motel on the same grounds of the house where Lee holed up before sending thousands of his fellow rebels to their deaths.
The room was clean if a bit musty-​smelling. The sheets and bed were fresh and clean. The decorations were from another century. The front-​desk service was good. The free wi-​fi was good (~3 Mbps). The morning breakfast was adequate but don’t expect to find a place to sit; the dining area is tiny. The place has a pool, although we didn’t use it.

Loved this place! Highly recommended. The rates are reasonable. The rooms are really clean and there is a brewery right next store. I loved the historical aspects also. Must visit the museum!
