Holiday Inn Express - Harrisburg East by IHG

8/10 Good

"I purchased 6 rooms for 1 night as we were in town for a men’s conference in Camp Hill. Checking in took a while but the staff checking us in were very friendly and engaging. Unfortunately because it took some time a line formed behind us. The room was nice and I enjoyed the bed and pillows. Nothing spectacular but nice. The bathroom fixtures are older and the drain seemed partially clogged. The other Jen in my group stated the same. Breakfast was amazing and the best part of the experience. There was so much to choose from and I wanted 1 of everything. Later that evening I had 1 more person arrive and there was difficulty getting his room straight and another line formed. Guests trying to check in were getting restless and it started to turn hostile. Overall for the price I think we paid too much but with the breakfast included it made it a tiny bit better."

Hampton Inn Harrisburg-East (Hershey Area)

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best Hotel Stays We’ve Had! We’re currently traveling from South Carolina to New York and have stayed at several hotels along the way, and this has genuinely been one of our best experiences! We learned that this location is ranked among the top 5% of Hampton Inns in the country, and after staying here, I can definitely see why! Staff & Service: The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seems happy to be there. Even the maintenance and housekeeping teams were kind, attentive, and responsive. You can tell that hospitality is a priority here! Breakfast: The complimentary breakfast was really good, with plenty of variety! During our two mornings, we enjoyed or saw options including bacon, chicken sausage, egg frittatas (with or without cheese), scrambled eggs (plain or with chives), potato wedges, blueberry and lemon poppyseed scones, muffins, boiled eggs, and a waffle station with different batters like vanilla, berry, and cinnamon swirl. They also had oatmeal, bagels, toast, and more! There’s even a 24/7 coffee bar, which is a nice touch. The menu changes slightly each day, so these are the combined options we saw during our two-day stay. Fitness Center: This was honestly one of the nicest hotel gyms I’ve seen! It’s a true gym setup with two connected rooms and excellent equipment. They had treadmills, an elliptical, rowing machine, free weights, kettlebells, weighted medicine balls, pull-up bars, and more."

Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area

8/10 Good

"Great location next to the interstate - made travel to and from various area locations very easy. The complimentary breakfast was a bit sparse to me. I only went for the coffee/hot tea. More of an assortment of breads, muffins, bagels, pastries would have been a nice addition to what items were already offered."
