As expected, staff was pleasant and courteous. This is second stay at this hotel and will surely stay again in the future. We asked for directions for a specific store and we were given printed directions. O Reilly's was very enjoyable. Great food, friendly service.
This hotel is less than 10 minutes from the downtown and almost half as much less than the hotels in the downtown. Easy and quick check in, choice of room and quiet. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Bar/restaurant on site so you don't even have to go out if you're there in inclement weather.
Great restaurant too. Reilly’s Irish Pub. Nice staff They even had our bathroom towels folded into shapes
We spent 3 nights at this hotel the week after Christmas. We had planned to make it a home base for visits to Hersheypark for their holiday events, but with wind chills near 0 we ended up spending much more time at the hotel pool. We even swam while it snowed outside which was very nice! We were a little disappointed that the lobby area with bar was basically deserted the entire time we were there, but perhaps it was the result of there being no events/conferences that weekend? The attached restaurant was convenient, but we found the food mediocre at best. We would definitely stay here again, especially in the winter, primarily for the large pool and proximity to Hershey and Harrisburg.
Don’t stay on the backside if you are sensitive to the sound of trucks zooming past nonstop all night. The highway is literally out the back window!!!
We chose this hotel for our Hershey getaway. It was pretty close. Staff were friendly, Hotel was beautiful and the rooms were updated and very clean. We will definitely stay here again and recommend to our friends.
Quick business trip. About 6 miles from downtown was less than desirable. But this is a quality business level hotel. Impressive lobby, good restaurant on premises. Easy access to I-83 and fast trip downtown. Room was very comfortable.
The Hotel was amazing. Friendly welcome at reception. Clean, comfortable, well supplied room. Hallways & Elevator clean and quiet. Restaurant very good choices and discount for Hotel guests.
Great Hotel, loved that the room opened up to the pool. And that you could lock the pool access door from both sides, gave me piece of mind that my kids were safe from pool but easy for when we wanted to swim! Stay here if going to Hershey.
Pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and clean the room was. Air was very dry though, not good for my son who's asthma was irritated.
The first room we got into the door knob fell off and took us 10 minutes to get back out of the room. The gentleman at the counter immediately gave us another room and phoned maintenance to fix the original room. The staff was great during our whole stay. On days we didn't need towels, we were phoned if we needed anything. Very nice. There were 3 things that we were unhappy with which is why I wouldn't recommend this hotel.. 1- The bed wasn't very comfy. It was stiff and the pillows were too fluffy. 2- The indoor pool was freezing cold. I was interested in this hotel for the indoor pool with it being February. I was hoping for a warm pool. 3- With it being a conference hotel, on days there were meetings held. Well, coffee was available for guests.
Check-in was simple, received several text messages inquiring about my stay, which was nice. Facility was clean, nice room.
Nice hotel bathroom very small bed a little hard
A little bit of updating needed but other then that the room was ok.
Clean , safe and comfortable. The restaurant in the hotel was great. Definitely will stay again.
We stayed at this hotel for a bachchlorette party. Staff was friendly and very helpful, room was very nice!
The hotel is very nice and clean. We found the bed mattress to be too soft and uncomfortable. Our room faced a highway and there was traffic noise all night long. We didnt get any sleep during out stay
Very nice and clean room--nice pool. Irish Pub with with decent fare attached. Close proximity to Capital taking back roads avoiding expressways--still only 10 minutes or so. Will be returning next time we have to be in Harrisburg.
Rooms are clean and quiet - breakfast was good and fairly priced - no coffee for early risers - had to drive out to find.
The lobby is beautiful, rooms are nice, beds very comfortable. Pool is great. Restaurant has good food and a GREAT draft beer selection. Definitely recommend and would return
