Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square
The hotel was nicely decorated for the season and had a nice pop-up for the tree lighting. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Great location, we will definitely stay again.

Holiday Inn Lancaster by IHG
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean except for the carpet. There was like a pasta sauce spill next to the bed. No fans in the bathroom can make a very unpleasant stay. They should offer room spray if no fans are a option. Breakfast was great.
