Hotel Preferred a Upper Leacock Township

We were heading to Hershey for a long weekend and to see a concert (Stevie Nicks- which, btw, was postponed AS the gates were opening- people were already tailgating for hours and had already heard the sound check…. But, that’s another story:)) I did some research and came across the information on this lovely hotel. I happen to be partial to Historic Hotels, Relais & Chateaux, Leading Hotels, etc so I decided we had to book the Inn at Leola. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and told we had been upgraded. (Note: they have no porters or luggage carts, everyone must bring their bags to their rooms on their own- however, the property isn’t that large, parking is ample, barring a wedding going on, so it’s easily doable) They have a lovely pastry & coffee shop on premises to grab a morning bite. We enjoyed lattés, baked oats, yogurt parfaits, and delicious freshly baked pastries! They also have a fine dining restaurant with a premier chef, but we didn’t get there on this trip- we will for sure next time! The Inn is nestled in Amish Country, with each of the towns you will want to visit anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes driving distance. The Inn also has a small pool area, just adorable, with a pool menu as well. Our upgraded room was huge and very rustic- we loved it! The bathroom had a huge European style open walk in stone tiled shower, toilet & bidet, and a very large 2 sink vanity (I hesitate to even call it a vanity because it was the length of one of the walls!) The room also had a gas fireplace which would be lovely in colder months! The bed was very comfortable and the linens were clean and crisp white. We had an ample supply of towels & washcloths as well as a few complimentary soaps & shampoos. (Sadly I couldn’t use any because they contained Shea which is a tree nut and I am severely allergic) I ordered some extras when I booked our room and they were excellent in regard to awareness of nuts when I had special requests. I ordered a ½ dozen roses, a rose petal turndown, and champagne with a lovely plated crudités. The champagne was actually Prosecco (they need to fix that on their order sheet) but it was a nice one. I had asked for no nuts and placed a few extra special requests when ordering the crudités and they honored all of my requests very pleasantly! Literally every single request! They were fabulous! We very much appreciated the efforts on their behalf! The crudités plate was perfect! I always travel with Clorox wipes, Lysol, etc so as per my usual, I cleaned all doorknobs, remote controls, light switches, handles, etc because I’ve found rarely if ever do even the finest hotels instruct their cleaning staff to do that. Here are my small caveats with this Inn: you cannot lock the bathroom door, should you so desire. AND My biggest caveat, the floors were really dirty. Not visibly upon looking, but, #1, our socks & slippers were super dirty/stained (we personally keep a shoe free home and steam clean our floors multiple time
