Fulton Steamboat Inn

We visited from Ireland, along with our friends from Maryland, at the end of June. The hotel was lovely and perfect for our trip to Lancaster and visiting the Amish Country. The hotel has a quirky steamboat design (tribute to the designer of the steamboat) and elegant southern style. The rooms were also elegantly styled and very clean and comfortable. The restaurant served a really nice breakfast and the bar also served nice food + had a good range of drinks. The barman very kindly let me sample a local beer to see if I liked it. There is also a gift shop on site and an indoor pool, which was a hit with the kids. There is a duck pond and play park outside too. There are gas stations nearby, plus Tanger outlets and some food outlets. There is a Target close by too (next to the Amish Farm) and it is handy to Dutch Wonderland theme Park (a great trip for the family). It is a short drive into Lancaster and also well situated for a drive to Litiz (really worth a visit) and Strasbourg (which has the steam train railway ... also well worth doing). This was our first time in Pennsylvania and will definitely be back.

We stayed with our kids and it was a mini vacation for us. We were so surprised when we arrived at the Fulton steamboat Inn! It was clean, my kids loved the playground, being able to feed the ducks and the fish, and even their pool was perfect for them. Everything was clean and ready on time. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful stay at Fulton Steamboat Inn. Location is great! Staff was friendly and accommodating to anything we needed. Always a favorite place for our family to stay

Came for a stay. Night stay with children. Loved the theme. Kids loved it also and really enjoyed the arcade, pool and grounds. Nice mini golf course across the street. Bar has excellent specialty cocktails. Breakfast at the restaurant was excellent. Stay is extremely kind and friendly.

We stayed here for 4 nights. We got both a regular room and a room eith bunkbeds. The kids just adored this unique place to stay. The front desk alwayx had a friendly face and tge coffee and afternoon cookies were jusf a couple of our highlights. The pool area was wonderful and we soejt a lot of morninfs and evenings there. We loved the playground and walking path and enjoyed an evenibg at the firepit tooaking smores. Would love to return :)

Was really happy with our stay. The decor and feel of the hotel was so fun, especially for our small children who thought it was a real boat. The restaurant was excellent and grounds well kept. Loved the playground. Lovely staff and everything went with ease for our time there.

We stayed at the Fulton Steamboat Inn for one night in March 2024. We were in town to see the Sight and Sound Theatre performance of Daniel. We were traveling with two kids, 7 and 6. I cannot say enough good things about this property. It was perfect for a mini one night vacation with kids--clean pool and hot tub, close to the theatre and restaurants, quiet and safe, bunk beds in the room, DVDs to rent at the front desk, sound machines to borrow if needed to sleep, awesome play area outside, pond with ducks and birds with bags of food to purchase to feed them, and a yummy breakfast at their restaurant (the pancakes!!). I travel for work and stay in hotels roughly 100 nights/year. This is one of the nicest, most affordable properties I have ever seen and would highly recommend it for anyone, especially families.

Such a great value! This hotel is so adorable and exceeded our expectations. My kids and I loved it and can’t wait to stay there again next time we visit Lancaster.

A great little hotel for a family getaway. Everything was very clean. The staff was amazingly friendly. The young man at the front desk, Josh, was incredibly friendly and well-spoken. His professionalism was impressive, especially given his youth. The indoor pool and hot tub areas were very clean and relaxing. The outdoor playground was very fun for my little one. The cookies in the lobby were always a nice treat when passing by. I can’t wait to go back.

The property is kept clean and we love the feel of being on an old fashioned steam boat. I would have given 5 stars, but there was a lot of noise from kids on the hallway early in the mornings we were there. Not the hotels fault that parents let their kids play in the hallway, but wish the rooms were more sound proof.
