Courtyard opens in Shippensburg PA.

Located near the Shippensburg University Conference Center at 503 Newburg Road, the hotel is four stories high with 110 rooms, including five suites.

Walsh said hotel features include a small library with books on local history, free wireless throughout the building, large patio with fire pit and grill, business center, indoor pool and hot tub, fitness center, guest laundry and meeting room that can accommodate groups of up to about 100 people with a retractable wall and whiteboard screen.

There is also an upgraded bar with eight beers on tap – an unusual Courtyard feature that he said was included to accommodate guests of the university and local companies.

Shippensburg University’s blue-and-red color theme is also evident throughout the building – from the carpet to decorative pillows in the lobby – and guests will find photos of the university as well as a copy of the school’s alma mater hanging on the walls.
