Top Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hanna

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed in hotels at all levels, and though I would certainly not call this one luxurious (the carpet could stand to be replaced, the paint to be refreshed), I give it a five-star rating nonetheless for its excellent customer service. The young man at the desk when I checked in, Jordan K., helped me out when Hotels.com/Expedia would not, going to some trouble to make sure that I and my friend were given our rooms with a minimum of hassle. While he dealt with the paperwork for my issue, he greeted new guests and pointed out the amenities to them. He was polite, professional, and friendly to everyone. Rarely have I been so impressed! For other travelers: Yes, the hotel is a little run-down, and there is no breakfast. (A sign at the desk suggests some nearby restaurant options.) But it is close to downtown Harrisburg (and charges a reasonable fee for overnight parking), the beds are very comfortable, and the staff is awesome. (The woman working the next morning was also extremely pleasant and polite.) I would and will stay here again."

BurgBnB Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"This place was fantastic! From the outside it looks fine but when you open the front door to the place, we were so surprised at how nice this place was! I am very picky about cleanliness and this place was super clean including the bathroom! The owner has thought of literally everything you would need for a stay away. He was very fast with getting back to us if we had any questions and even checked on us mid way through our stay to make sure we were ok. I would give this place a 10 and highly recommend it!"
