Express Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Place was under renovation but I wont ding them for that. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. If I had to make any suggestions, the breakfast didn't have eggs during the week. Only had waffles, cereal and bagels . The silverware was the cheapest possible. Fix those two things up and they get five stars from me"

Hotel Indigo Harrisburg - Hershey by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but there was definately wear and tear on the property itself. The ice machine on the 2nd floor and one of the two elevators was broken. Our room was missing a minifridge. The empty space were that item would go made the space look woren. The clothing/towel hook in the bathroom was inches from the toilet. Not terribly sanitary. That said, the bed was comfortable and the stay was pleasant. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay there again."

Super 8 by Wyndham Hershey Chocolate Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel advertised a hot tub but it was broken with green goo and looked like it has been broken for months. Part of the reason we chose it was bc of the nice pool and hot tub to enjoy after a long day. If the hot tub is broken, you really shouldn't still be advertising it. Also, the breakfast was highly recommended but it was very disappointing, bare minimum to other comparable hotels. Not even a waffle maker or anything hot except bagels, and only apples, ran out of other fruit early both mornings, we ended up eating elsewhere the 2nd morning. Most hotels at least have a waffle maker and a hot item or two (sausage/egg). Our thermostat was also broken and trying to contact someone to help was nearly impossible as they didn't answer the desk line and we had to seek someone out and wait. Then go back up again to the desk as noone came and our room was very hot. It took 2 seconds to fix once someone finally came. Also, cups but no coffee in the room. Towels in room weren't clean either, and the shower was dangerously slippery! For the price we paid to stay here ($300/night), it was not worth it at all. A partial refund was requested and ignored."
