Top Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay. Liked that there was security available at night cause some people need to be reminded on how to be quiet. Breakfast is just okay. The powdered eggs are getting old. Same meat rotation. High points, place smelled nice, staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean. Beds are starting to show their wear."
