price is right

We booked this hotel initially for one night since we weren't sure how good/clean lit would be. The room was a typical room but clean, and plenty of towels. We went to the lounge downstairs, nice area to relax and have a drink. We ended up booking the room for the next night. Only negative was the towels were really thin. We would stay again, great price and close to everything.

Great Price, Great Location!

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel while at a conference at the Hershey Lodge. The price and location of this hotel are excellent. The rooms are pretty basic but the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good. i would definitely recommend this hotel.

The Hershey Pantry is just a few doors down. It is a small restaurant with great food.

Not Their fault . .

What might have been a better night in a room that was a bit on the tiny side , , , , two women in the room next door stayed up more than half the night, talking in loud voices outside (drunk!). It kept us awake when we really needed to sleep. So, not really the motels fault, but they MIGHT have patrolled it better. All in all, it was a bit expensive for what we got (the tiny room), and we'll probably try something else next time in Hershey.

Comfortable Hotel in a Great Location

While attending a conference at the Hershey Lodge, I stayed at this hotel. It was affordable and it was close to the conference center as well as the other Hershey attractions. The staff was polite and my room was clean and comfortable. Overall I had a very good experience with this hotel and feel that, while not the fanciest place around, it was definitely the best value.

Hojo review

Room was nice and clean but VERY small and ordinary. We spent the next night in a Super 8 in Gettysburg for the same price and we had a MUCH larger and more modern room.

One night trip

I stayed at the hotel one night on business in Hershey. The room was very good however it was on street level with busy traffic. The traffic subsided at around 10:00p.m. The staff were very nice and helpful.
