Room was clean but the tub was cracking in several places. Very limited items for breakfast and milk was spoiled however the staff did bring out fresh milk. Staff was friendly. The price was right. There was a few things going on in Hershey so when all the other motels where sky high prices this motel was very reasonable.

Not a bad place for cheap. Vending machines will steam your money and it won’t be refunded, but what can ya do? Staff are mostly all great. Only dealt with one arrogant front desk worker in the dozen times I’ve stayed here. Clean rooms, spacious and quiet.

I had to spend a half hour before opening my bags, cleaning my room. No toiletries available and the cleanliness of the lobby and carpeting throughout the halls was terrible. Once I returned home I even noticed a charge for Econolodge on a card I never even swiped here.

Property is not terrible but needs to be refurbished. The price is right but the property and the area adjacent is not appealing. For one night, it was OK.
