Top Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Harrisburg-Hershey by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is super friendly and helpful. Hotel is spotless. Great location. Definitely would stay here again."

Hotel Hanna

8/10 Good

"The room was bright, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom too. There is no breakfast included, but you are close to downtown. There is no coffee maker in the room, but there is coffee in the lobby. Parking in the hotel's lot is extra. The hotel is by the waterfront, which is good if you have time on your hands."

BurgBnB Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very Satisfied with my stay. Clean, safe and convenient. Will definitely stay again. Best Regards, Jay"

BurgBnB Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"This place was fantastic! From the outside it looks fine but when you open the front door to the place, we were so surprised at how nice this place was! I am very picky about cleanliness and this place was super clean including the bathroom! The owner has thought of literally everything you would need for a stay away. He was very fast with getting back to us if we had any questions and even checked on us mid way through our stay to make sure we were ok. I would give this place a 10 and highly recommend it!"
