Top Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived during check in time and everything was very smooth. After checking in, my son accidentally left his video game console in the lobby. After realizing a few hours later, the gentleman at the front desk helped us a lot with retrieving it. Thanks to him, my son was happy to get his device back. The staff was overall very helpful and the rest of our stay was great!"

Baymont by Wyndham Harrisburg

10/10 Excellent

"This is a remarkably good budget hotel. Great for a road trip traveler. Our room was really large, And we were able to do our laundry which helped a lot! In general, the physical plant could use some upgrades and particular attention to plumbing details. However, any deficiencies were far over overcome by the incredible help fullness of the staff. Call out to Regine at the front desk. If we ever pass through again we’ll be back."

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk gal was absolutely delightful, welcoming, and caring. The room clean and spacious"

Fairfield Inn & Suites Harrisburg Hershey

8/10 Good

"Property was extremely clean and updated. The only negative was the bed being subpar and the pillows lackluster. I felt like I was sleeping on a board and not very comfortable. The pillows didn’t help either. If the hotel buys new mattresses and increases the pillow count, would be a much better experience."

Hotel Indigo Harrisburg - Hershey by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Harrisburg-Hershey

8/10 Good

"I didn’t like that the room smelled like mold and the sheets weren’t clean"

Hilton Harrisburg

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the ability to do room service and how easy it was to place my order. Although, I do wish you could order through app, but no complaints. Both restaurants were really good as well. The staff was very friendly and nice, I loved that they made accommodations for me to have a late checkout due to my flight schedule. Also, the room and property was kept up nice. I will be staying at this location again."
