We were looking for an economical hotel to stay at for our daughters volleyball tournment game. We stayed at the Budget Host Inn & Suites. The hotel was only 4 miles away from the Lancaster Covention Center (location of our daughters games). The hotel was also close to Volleyball Corner, a local volleyball store. We bought some clothes for our... More

Based on the reviews, I almost didn't go. I am REALLY glad we did. I have a 4 year old and a 7 year old . I just wanted a little weekend get away. This was the perfect spot.! The indoor pool is really big, we practically had it to ourselves. The water park, has a big bucket that tilts... More

I place reservation to stay at the Budget Inn do to the Indoor Water Park for the kids. Upon arrival the main office was very outdated. The check-in was ok. When arriving at our room. It smelled like cigarettes (we requested non-smoking). The bathroom vent was stuffed with napkins (have no idea why) perhaps there was a leak somewhere or... More

Well, if you have read most of the previous reviews on this place then you will likely not be surprised by what you read in my review. As many have stated, the website and the pictures are VERY misleading. I picked this hotel mainly because it was attached to the Waterpark (if you can call it that). I tried to... More

We stayed at this hotel mainly for the "waterpark". This should not be called a park! The room was suppose to be a suite with two queen beds instead it was a connected room with double beds.The website is very misleading saying there is a restaurant and a computer room. The hotel was not clean.We called to get a late... More

Spent a weekend with another family doing Dutch Wonderland and Day Out with Thomas. We bought the Thomas tickets and they found this hotel. Needless to say they were not Tripadvisor members! Make no mistake this is a budget motel! However, our experience was not as bad as the other reviewers here. We had rooms 224 and 226 adjoining. It's... More

When our Delaware beach areas were evacuated for hurricane Irene, I started to look for lodging to the north west. Situated 2 hours north west, Lancaster seemed to be the perfect place. This was the only hotel with rooms available.. it appeared that many others had the same evacuation plan that I did. I was worried about what we would... More

We were evacuated due to Hurrican Irene and picked this hotel because of the water park. I would have rather stayed home and taken my chances with the hurricane. The room was disgusting. Crumbs in the bed, mold on the floor in the bathroom and in teh shower. Wall paper peeling, doors that don't close. Just NASTY!! Not only that... More
