Top Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express - Harrisburg East by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay. The king size bed was comfortable, I didn't know my room came withba pullout couch, but my teenager enjoyed it. The breakfast was free and plentiful and although the parking lot looks small we stayed on a weekend where they were booked solid and still found parking after midnight. Its like they saved a spot just for us. The ac works even on 73 I was a little cold. The shower amenities include full size dove products amd this was a first seeing that in hotels. We really liked this hotel and will keep it in our favorites."

"The ac in the room was nice and cold. The breakfast was good, ran out of sausage and eggs, replenished the eggs. Didn't really interact with any staff except check in person who answered questions. Room was clean. Be prepared for 100 dollar deposit that was not told about before make reservation."

"Our dark curtains didn’t close/were broken. There was a family in the pool area with a huge speaker playing music very loud. Music is fine, but the speaker was way too loud and someone should be monitoring that. We had a towel that was dirty. All in all, we’d still go back if needed, but just noticed some things."
