    Could walk to several wonderful pubs and restaurants and wine tastings. The room was very comfortable, and immaculate. Coffee and cookies were delicious!

    The James Getty's Hotel is a gem. This was our second stay in two years. It is steeped in history and adorned in elegance. The suites are well appointed. The breakfast was on our kitchenette counter when returned from visiting favorite places in Gettysburg. We plan to stay in every suite in the Jarmes Gettys Hotel over the next few years!

    Just spent the weekend at The James Gettys Hotel, it was fabulous. The room was really nice, and SPOTLESS, as was the entire hotel. Add to that a warm, inviting, and friendly atmosphere, it makes for a perfect getaway! The turndown service with fresh baked local muffins,breads, and gourmet coffee and teas are a special touch. I will definately stay here again, and would highly recommend to all!

    Had always wanted to stay at the James Getty's Hotel and decided this was the year. Stayed for the weekend over New Year's Eve. The hotel was more than I could have imagined. The suite was spotless. At night they come in to turn your bed down and leave a plate of local cakes and breads. In the refrigerator was a small cup of cream for tea and coffee along with a carafe of orange juice. Now I have to say this was just not any orange juice but the best orange juice I have ever tasted. I would recommend The James Getty's Hotel in Gettysburg, PA to everyone. It was the the best place I believe I have ever stayed. I have already booked for the weekend of next New Year's Eve I liked it so much.


    Great weekend!

    Friendly and informative front desk. Room felt nice and private, though sort of spartan. Breakfast was great for continental. No complaints whatsoever!
