Default Lee's Headquarters inn -- questions

Question to the enlightened: Are there any rooms inside the actual headquarters to stay in overnight? I called and spoke with the people at the hotel and am still confused.

I went to Gettysburg last summer and went to the museum. I was just under the impression that there were rooms to stay at in the actual headquarters.

Really confused, any help appreciated! Thanks.

I think that I understand your question, so let me attempt to answer it. My mom and I visited Gettysburg two weeks ago. We stayed at the Quality Inn @ General Lee's Headquarters. The headquarters building is a small building that sits adjacent to the motel rooms. This building is now a small museum with both Confederate and Union relics, as well as a gift shop. The grounds of the Lee Headquarters Inn sits on Seminary Ridge and in my opinion makes it the best place to stay while visiting Gettysburg. Believe it or not, a ton of yankees were staying at Lee's Headquarters!

I hope this answers your question. In other words, the name of the motel is the Quality Inn @ General Lee's Headquarters. They have around thirty or so rooms which are very nice and comfortable.

Yah, there is. I had the luxury in staying in it once. It has a living room, two master bed rooms, a couch that folds out into a bed, a Jacuzzi, and a nice looking shower. It's a really nice place to say in. The house across the Chambersburg Pike is also owned by Comfort in. I stayed in it this last time I went to Gettysburg. It is also rather nice, rivals that of Lee's Headquarters. It has a Queen Bedroom with a built in bathroom, equipped with a Jacuzzi and a Shower. It has a kitchen full with Stove, Sink, Coffee Pot, and Microwave. The kitchen also has two awesome paintings from the Civil War hanging on the wall. The living room has a couch, a tv, a fire place, and a bookshelf equipped with books. Upstars is another Queen Bedroom and another bathroom. The building has historical relivence, as it was once a barn where they brought dead Confederates. It is supposadly haunted, but I saw nothing besides the occasional John Reynolds.
