Top Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay for families, kind, caring and very helpful staff! Thank you for everything!"

Best Western Premier The Central Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"We only had a problem- and not insurmountable by any means. We had formal events in the evenings and the fact that the chest of drawers is installed inside the closet leaves little space for gowns, coats or dresses to hang. It is a bit of an awkward set-up for storing wardrobe for a longer trip. If there is ever a re-design, would love to see more space in the closet area. Everything else is A+"

Crowne Plaza Harrisburg-Hershey by IHG

8/10 Good

"I always wipe the bathroom down at the very least when I get into a room and when I did it here there was nothing coming up! Clean from the toilet to the tub. Wiped the room down and it was the same. Pretty small room. Didn’t go to the restaurant. But liked the location as well. I normally catch the train in so now I know this place is right around the corner (5 minute walk). Paid for parking beforehand and it was the best decision they have a valet service. Checked out the concessions they had didn’t look interesting to me looked cold and unappealing, but there were many ppl buying food and coffee they serve Starbucks coffee (just the coffee, none of their food items). There is a fridge in the room and a microwave in the lobby."
