Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Harrisburg - Hershey West, PA

10/10 Excellent

"There was a water leak in the dining room as we had our breakfast."

Baymont by Wyndham Harrisburg

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend staying at Baymont By Wyndham. When my family and I arrived at the hotel we were not impressed from the outside. When we got inside totally different story. The hotel was so clean and smelled clean too. The staff was very friendly, the room was spacious, and again very clean. The bathroom is small, but water pressure is great! The beds are very comfortable. The outside pool is kept very clean. I will stay here again and recommend others to do the same."

Hilton Harrisburg

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean"

Holiday Inn Express - Harrisburg East by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great for the price. The staff was accommodating but you could tell they were understaffed. The pool was nice and the kids really enjoyed it. There were some tiles that needed replacing as well as the pool furniture(most chairs were ripped). The breakfast was good, wish there was a little more variety. The ladies that ran the service were so friendly and really went above and beyond. We asked if they had recommendations for our family to visit and they provided us with many ideas."

Hampton Inn Harrisburg-East (Hershey Area)

10/10 Excellent

"We stay at this hotel to break up our drive from NC to MA/ME. It is convenient, very close to the highway and right next to a gas station. We usually arrive very late at night and Brenda has been the staff member on duty the last couple visits. She is very helpful, friendly and kind- and loves seeing our dogs. The morning staff is also very friendly and the included breakfast is a bonus (and good coffee!)"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Harrisburg Airport Hershey

8/10 Good

"Room was clean but a much older building. Staff was nice and helpful breakfast was good and AC was working nicely!"

Hotel Indigo Harrisburg - Hershey by IHG
