Holiday Inn Express - Harrisburg East by IHG
The bathtub and bathroom were poorly cleaned. No fault of the hotel, but there was a track and field race in town so lots of loud teenagers throughout the day and night. The hotel only has one elevator, so there are a bit of longer waits for the elevator.
