Top Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

Best Western Premier The Central Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"This was by far our best stay overall in Harrisburg. We’ve stayed at other subpar hotels and will definitely be returning here. Breakfast pancakes at o’reillys were fantastic."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Harrisburg Airport Hershey

8/10 Good

"I will recommend this place"

Hampton Inn Harrisburg-East (Hershey Area)

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel for the price."

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

8/10 Good

"The rooms are dated but fine. The shower knob and one light needed fixing. It’s not a housekeeping issue - it’s just what happens when a place has been heavily used. Breakfast was much appreciated and a mixed bag. The servers were constantly refilling and attentive. Fitness room was also dated as was the pool but clean. Our room was overlooking a highway so if you’re a light sleeper, maybe a room facing away from the street would-be best. It was fine for the price we paid. Thank you"

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."
