Easy check in and helpful staff

Breakfast was lackluster. Area is good for dinner. Great distance for Carlisle Car Shows.

Right off the exit. Gas station real close and lots of places to eat. If you want a cheap room for a night and don't care it's not in the greatest condition then ok it serves that purpose. Tv, heater, hot water etc work but yes, stains on chairs etc, it's an older hotel which is no surprise. A little noisy w traffic if you face the road. Easy on off 81. I just stayed relaxed got up early and left

This hotel was quite affordable and the room was sufficient for my needs. It was cleaned each day. The only downside to the hotel is that it’s located right at a very busy highway with a tremendous amount of traffic. It is very noisy through the day but calms down over night. I didn’t any any problems sleeping though! If you stay here ask for a room that doesn’t face the road!

I had read some of the reviews about this property and I was a little nervous about booking but nothing else was available and it was late. The lady at the front desk was helpful on the phone and when we arrived she was extremely friendly. The room we had was huge and clean. We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely stay here again.

This was a not a nice place .. very poor

It was a place to sleep for the night on our way south.

Mold in the shower, dingy, strange odors, seemed to be generally unclean

Right off the highway. Plenty of restaurants, stores, gas etc. Close the road is a little noisy because of the trucks. Hotel is older but adequate. Bed was nice. AC/heat worked. Wifi worked. Plenty of hot water. Not too big and not too small.

We were in town for a college visit and spent two nights here. At check-in our first room was dirty but management gave us a different one and the second one was much better, although still not perfect. The bed was comfortable and smelled fresh but the cable reception was blurry. Breakfast on the first day was decent but on the second day the eggs were cold and I watched the attendant attempt to reheat them on a styrofoam plate in a microwave right at the breakfast area and then stick them back into the metal serving dish - not appetizing at all. Overall this hotel is better than some other cheap stays, but just realize that you get what you pay for. The facility has seen some updates (they put down new carpet in the hallways during our stay, and the room seemed fairly up to date) but much of the common areas are dingy and need more work. I might stay there again for one night if I wanted to save $$ and just needed a place to sleep, but I wouldn’t recommend it for more than that.

A little noisy from trucks on the road in front of the hotel.

This hotel is close to the highway and good for travelers who just need a place to spend the night. The staff are friendly. The rooms are older but clean and comfortable.

The staff goes the extra mile to make your stay pleasant and enjoyable.

I realize that this wasn't a 5-star hotel, but based on the reviews I thought it would be adequate for an overnight stay. I was so very wrong. The room was filthy! No one in my family would take their socks off, we all skipped taking a shower, and the used coffee filter from the previous guest was still in the coffee maker. There was a shirt still there from a previous guest, the microwave was filthy, the floor in the bathroom was black from filth, the faucet on the sink had a buildup of grime and hair, The walls looked like the room had been a crime scene from the splattered whatever that was there. The buildup of dust and grime on everything was disgusting. You could see light and feel the cold air coming in from around the door. The only positives I can give are that the heat worked well and the beds were clean. Even the drawer in the nightstand had something spilled and dried in it. I wish I could attach picture to this review. You would run into the night screaming. I would not recommend this hotel to a friend or even an enemy.

They did not place us in the room we booked. Instead they upgraded us to a King. Unfortunately this was also a handicapped accessible room, which wasn't as comfortable for us as we lost out on things like a bathroom counter and a bathtub.

This hotel/motel worked for our needs. Only stayed one night and was looking for a place to stay after a concert. The room could have been a little cleaner. We didn't even consider taking a shower there but the sheets were clean and the AC worked. It was inexpensive and a fairly close and easy drive to/from Hersheypark so it was tolerable for just an overnighter especially given the price other hotels were charging. Oh and most importantly the hotel is pet friendly with a low pet deposit which was important to us and our pooch. We didn't try the breakfast but they did have it which is a plus. Overall not great not terrible but sufficient for what we needed.

This was a great place to stay. Spacious room and comfortable bed. It was a quick overnighter for us but had everything we needed. The price was perfect as we were not hanging around just looking for a good nights sleep. The place could use some up grades but everything worked well. Carlisle seems like a real nice town with adequate places for dinner. I would recommend!

A good hotel to a quick stay. Friendly staff and good location.
