Days Inn by Wyndham Gettysburg

The focus of this Days Inn is on creating a quiet and
comfortable atmosphere for the steady stream of tourists coming to spend a day
or two visiting the world-famous town and its surrounding battlefield landmarks.
Beige-tile floors and potted tropical plants greet arriving guests in the well-maintained
lobby where a large wood reception desk with black granite top awaits. Adjacent
to the desk is a sitting area with two squishy brown-leather sofas, a
coffee/tea station, and a wall-mounted flat-screen TV where guests can catch up on
news and weather as they plan their days. Throughout, the decor is cozy, if dated, and a small aquarium with goldfish helps
make the sitting area feel homey. The lobby also pays homage to the
hallowed ground of Gettysburg with framed art depicting scenes of the epic
battle. The modest dining area just off the lobby also has a flat-screen TV and
similar artwork, and this area sees the most activity in this quiet hotel. 

The Days Inn is located on York Road, slightly northeast of
Gettysburg’s historic district, about a four- to five-minute drive away. All of the
city’s most popular attractions are a brief drive from the hotel, including Gettysburg
National Military Park (12 minutes), Jennie Wade House (seven minutes), and Soldiers’ National
Cemetery and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address Memorial (both nine minutes). The Eisenhower National Historic Site is a 15-minute
drive away, and the Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg are 10 minutes away by car. Gettysburg
College is a five-minute drive, and the Harrisburg Area Community College and
North Gettysburg Shopping Center are four minutes away by car. Approximate drives
times to regional airports include York (35 minutes), Harrisburg (50 minutes),
and Baltimore (90 minutes). A few restaurants are within a one- to three-minute
walk of the hotel, and many more are within a brief drive. There is city bus
service, but it takes significantly longer than driving, especially from outside
the historic district. Local bus tour lines can also make stops at the hotel.

Rooms are clean and come in one-king or two-queen
configurations. King units have upholstered
sofas, while the two-queen options have armchairs. Both types have desks with
upholstered wood chairs. The matching, light-wood furniture is a step above what’s typically seen in budget hotels and include headboards, distinctive round nightstands, desks, and large dressers that support 32-inch flat-screen TVs. The color
scheme is primarily shades of brown, but the decor doesn't always hang together, and the two-tone patterned carpets and floral print comforters seem to come from two different decades. Walls are painted
cream with rust-painted accent walls offsetting the beds. All rooms have coffeemakers, microwaves, and mini-fridges. Tan-colored granite vanity sinks sit outside the bathrooms, which have beige tile floors and standard white
shower/tub combos. Some of the King Bed Suites have two-person whirlpool tubs placed in the bedroom areas, though they still have shower/tub combos in the bathrooms. While the rooms are generally quiet with
little or no road noise, some past guests have reported hearing their neighbors in other rooms. 

For its budget rates, the Days Inn Gettysburg offers a fair amount of on-site features. A basic continental
breakfast with hot items such as omelets and waffles is included in room rates, and free coffee and tea are available all
day in the lobby. Although there's no lunch or dinner served on-site, there's a restaurant abutting the hotel that serves
breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Free parking is available in the hotel’s outdoor parking lot. Other features include a small, carpeted fitness center
with a few cardio and weight-lifting machines and free weights. The business
center has one computer station with Internet access and free printing, and there's a meeting room with a minibar and a sink. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Other features include coin-operated laundry and vending machines for drinks
and snacks. There's also a safe deposit box at the front desk.
