Hotels near Otterbein United Methodist Church, South Middleton Township

I was in the quaint town of Carlisle with my husband for a car show. When I walked into our hotel room at Sleep Inn, I noticed sizable stains in front of the sink/mirror, then noticed additional red splatter on the wall to the right of the sink, and 2 small red dots on one of the hanging hand towels. I looked closer at all and they appeared to be blood! I instantly called the front desk and asked to be moved to a different hotel, to which the woman, sounding horrified, advised there were none in town affiliated with them. She advised me that we could move to a different room on the first floor which had been cleaned by a different employee. I was totally grossed out and wanted to leave, but it was 9:30 at night in a smaller town occupied by many car enthusiasts such as my husband, so we just moved to the other room. When checking out 2 days later, I asked to speak to the manager to discuss my concerns and disappointment with the cleanliness of the room and hotel. The GM of this Sleep Inn is Fendry Peña. He claimed that the stains on the carpet, wall, and towels were not blood but rather red hair dye. He also stated that other rooms had the same dye stains if I would like to see them. I asked how he could be sure, and he said that I would be surprised at how many people dye their hair red…What?!?! He then offered to take 20% off our 2 night stay. I had no interest in looking at the carpet on other rooms, and based on his response and attitude, I just wanted to leave, knowing I would NEVER stay there again for another car show, and made it a point to leave a review so others could be forewarned. He emailed a revised receipt to my husband showing a $50.00 credit, which was less than 20%, with the reason being “Adjust. Blood in the room”. Thought it was red hair dye???? On a different note, the breakfast was subpar..waffles, packaged muffins, bananas, or oranges. Coffee too was disappointing..from a machine. There original price for our 2 night stay was $385.53. WAY overpriced for this hotel!! If you check the reviews on this Sleep Inn’s website, you will find that the response from management to a negative review was copied and pasted…I would encourage all to pass on this hotel when visiting Carlisle!!

The staff was very friendly and the hotel was clean, but the pool was a bit small. There was nothing around.

Was there for the outdoor show-The sign coming in is hard to see -When I went to check in the young man at the front desk said the card I reserved with wasn't working and I asked if he had the info correct HE DID NOT OFFER TO TRY AGAIN so I had to use another card - when I called The bank they let me know HE DID IN FACT HAVE MY EXPIRATION # WRONG- THE HOT TUB (WHICH I WAS MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO) was luke warm at best and pool very cold so I went to take a hot shower - was not HOT so I told the GUY at desk AND ALL HE SAID WAS I DONT KNOW WHY VERY NONCHALANTLY- The fridge in the room was very noisy but that was drowned out by the heater which was really noisy every time the heat came on .The breakfast was good and the bed very comfortable - The front desk guy was very apologetic when I told him my issues and he said the night guy should have offered me another room if available and at the very least apologized -PROB WON'T BE BACK though not the worst experience.I BOOKED IT MOSTLY FOR THE HOT TUB AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD GOOD LUCK WITH WINGATE

Great hotel great spot. Will be back when I’m in the area again. Quite and peaceful great for sleeping

We just got home from our mini vacation and we stayed at this hotel. I am a fanatic about reading reviews before choosing a place to stay and I read all the reviews on this hotel before scheduling. Since most people only care about the 'cons' of the hotel, let me start with those: 1. The beds are really soft. This may not be a problem for many folks, it is only a con for me because I prefer a hard/firm bed because I am a large lady and soft beds tend to sink with me which makes waking up with a sore back highly likely. 2. Two of the three nights we stayed here, there were many, MANY teens there and they were not polite about anything. They were running in the halls at all hours, and one tried to get in our door at about 2:30 A. My sister heard him say (while in the elevator with him and his friends) that he had forgotten which room they were in so he was trying the door handle on every room on the floor in hopes of this roommates letting him in. I will say this, though...this was not the hotel's fault. This was the parents' or guardians' fault. When we did call the front desk about it, they immediately addressed it and the rest of that evening went exceptionally well and all was quiet and peaceful. 3. When we arrived and they saw that we had our dogs with us (two Shih Tzu's), they said they had no idea we were brining our dogs. However, when I made my reservation with Francis (called the hotel direct and did not use a booking agent or Trivago, Expedia, etc.) I told him about the dogs and asked him twice before I got off the phone with him did he have down that I had dogs. He said yes. We knew Hamilton hotels allow pets, so we weren't worried that they'd turn us away, but it was a surprise when they said they didn't know we were bringing them. Now, for the pros: 1. Rooms were clean and nice. 2. The front desk recommended a wonderful Italian restaurant for dinner that we ended up ordering from every night we were there because they had great prices, great food and generous portions. Thank you to Marco and Julia!! 3. Great parking - plenty of parking for both their rewards club members and handicapped spaces. 4. Lots of room to enjoy the breakfast bar and a good variety/selection of food for breakfast. 5. Super friendly front desk folks - but this seems to be standard with Hamilton hotels - we have never run into anyone at any of their hotels that has been less than extremely accommodating and friendly. 6. Lobby and elevators were also clean and nice. 7. Some people would say that the furniture in the rooms was dated, and it may have been, but I don't feel that this is a reason to 'ding' them. 8. I asked for a room close to the elevator and handicap accessible due to having bad knees and asthma. I didn't get either, but in fairness to them, it showed on the site that there were no handicap rooms available. I asked them if they should have one come available before we got there, to please see if we could get it. So again, this is not a 'ding' o
