Travelodge by Wyndham Lancaster Amish Country — Hotel in East Hempfield Township

I feel compelled to write this review, because the woman in this hotel staff should not even be working there. I live down the street from the hotel and my boyfriend was visiting me from New York. I then suggested this hotel for him since I am close by and it’s cheaper. From the moment he checked in to his hotel room I walked up the stairs to help him get settled. The lady at the desk kept calling him non stop and then went to his hotel door banging on the door. He opens the door and she says if she is going to be there with him then I need her ID talking about me. I explained to her that I am just here to help him settle that I am not staying here and that I live down the street. She then leaves and then the next day I went to visit him again and as I was walking up the stairs she was walking from the opposite direction and saw me and says “Oh no! Now I need to see your ID I didn’t know you will be here everyday”. I said “Ma’am! I am visiting I am not staying here.” She then asked me how long I will be staying there saying that it better not be past 8pm. Mind you the time we were talking it was 4:30pm still daylight outside. This woman since he has been in that hotel room has been harassing us. Saying she doesn’t want to get in trouble with me being here. I never had a hotel act like that before and she came across as racist we were the only ones at that establishment that she was treating us this way in a rudely manner. When my boyfriend try to talk she kept telling him to be quiet as she was trying to figure out how to work the computer. We won’t...

This place was a DUMP. It was dingy and I don't think that it was cleaned after the last person left. There was an iron burn on the floor, dirty carpet, wrappers in the shower, toilet bowl only had one bolt so it swung over to the right. We did not did not even unpack our car. My reservation was NON-REFUNDABLE and before we seen the room, we had to pay up front another $20 pet fee. Luckily we were able to find a much better motel who accepted pets and we stayed there. When I checked into the new hotel, I called to tell the Lancaster Amish Country Travelodge that we left our hotel key on the dresser and would not be returning but asked that we get our money back, they told us that they would report all of our issues to the Manager and we could speak w/her in the morning. I called and got the Manager who was really a very rude person, she told us that we must have broke the toilet seat because it wasn't broken when the last guest left. This further convinced me that the bathroom must not have been cleaned, because if you lifted the seat to clean it, they would have noticed that a bolt was missing. I would not even let my dog walk on the carpet. I carried him in and carried him out. Also, I pulled down the comforter and it did not look as though the sheets were changed. I truly wish that I had read the reviews for this dive before I paid up front. Besides the neighborhood being not so nice, there was a space under the door that a rat could have come in. ...

I don't know where to begin. My husband and I get to our room and the door barely works. It had no security lock. The rooms need to be refurbished. Then I turn my sink on and I was looking for the "Tidy Bowl Man". Blue water started filling up the sink. I brought my dogs as did everyone else. My room was in front of a stairwell with a light lit all night. A bus load of people came stomping up the steps at a late hour which made my dogs bark. Then someone proceeded to light fireworks in the parking lot till late in the evening. This same person kept running up and down the stairs. I could barely sleep as it was. The view under my door was at least an inch. I could see the outside. Forget the noise, I thought can a mouse fit through there? We started laughing trying to make the best of it. The next day was the final straw. We were sight seeing when we got a call from the desk. This scared me to death. Someone complained about my dogs. I got so mad I made my husband call back and explain. Excuse me, you should have begged me to stay the first night! My husband and I looked at each other and said let's go. As he was checking out there were to seedy people in the parking lot who stopped my husband. They wanted to know if he had seen someone who stole their $2,000.00. They were waiting to confront him. We just wanted to get out of there. There is nothing good about that place except...
