| • Description • |
|
Best Western Gettysburg is down the street from the Wills House (where Lincoln composed the Gettysburg Address), a quarter-mile from the famous battlefield, and approximately 55 miles from Harrisburg International Airport. The historic Best Western Gettysburg Hotel has a tradition that dates to 1797 when James Scott first opened his tavern. In the summer of 1863, the hotel played witness to the battle at Gettysburg. Nearly a century later, the hotel served as President Dwight Eisenhower's national operations center while he recuperated from a heart attack at his nearby farm. Hotel amenities include Centuries on the Square's casual dining and McClellan's Tavern, a full-service, English-style pub. The hotel also offers room service, free transportation to the Battlefield Bus Tour, complimentary afternoon tea, dry cleaning, laundry facilities, free weekday newspapers, safety deposit, and 24-hour front desk service. All rooms feature cable TV, in-room movies, free local calls (under 30 minutes), dataports, voicemail, clock radios, coffeemakers, irons and ironing boards, and hairdryers. |
