The staff and accommodations were great. Rooms were clean and quiet. But the food was not that great. My sister ordered a side salad (Caesar) $2.00 and I order a Dinner salad (Caesar) $8.00. They were exactly the same size and ingredients. I did say something to the waitress. But she did not offer any kind of explanation. Also she... More

Spent the night while my daughter visited campus. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well kept everything was. The rooms are clean and the service friendly. Nice little breakfast as well. I would certainly stay here again!

We stopped on our way back home to NC; the rate was great. The Front of the hotel is not taken care of. The lobby smelled stale and it needs a good cleaning; the carpets and furniture needed to be replace or cleaned. It was not a very bright and clean looking place to stay. The hallways needed to have... More

My college room mates and I spent an evening at Shippen Place. It seemed like there were many Shippensburg Alumni staying there also, probably due to the fact that it's an easy walk to everything downtown (especially the bars!) The hotel is small and seemed very clean. The front desk clerk was very accomodating and was able to give us... More

The hotel is small but conveniently located in downtown Shippensburg about 5 minutes from the university. It has restaurants and shopping just outside the door. The lobby is traditionally decorated and clean. There is no bellman or valet parking, the parking lot has enough parking for guests and a few overflow. There are at least 3 luggage carts for your...

We were looking for a place to stay that wasn't a chain. We came across the Shippen Place, by seeing the sign on Rt. 81 south. We have returned at least half a dozen times. We like the pub that is attached to the hotel. Very convenient if you arrive late and are thirsty and hungry. It is a little... More

Had a bit of a problem finding this hotel~it's on the main street, but not too well signed. The driveway I swear is about 6 ft wide, so don't attempt this one in your SUV! The surface parking lot is a bit cramped but doable. The hotel, though, is very nice. My friend made the arrangements for us, and raved... More

I selected this place for a one night stay while driving through the area, based on Trip Advisor reviews. I was not disappointed but a few small problems came up. The pros: it has the feel of a boutique hotel in a large city, with a welcoming, modern lobby, right on the main street of the town. There is ample... More

We arrived in Shippensburg late in the evening, so when we called into Shippen Place downtown last minute, we were expecting it to be much more expensive than it was. And when we'd paid the nice lady at the desk and gone to our room, we were pleased to find it was clean, comfy and correct. Even the bar downstairs... More
