When we arrived and was able to check in we went up to the room and the room had a musty smell to it. We ended up going to buy air fresheners for the room. The hotel is old and doesn’t look like the photos. The room felt damp at all times and the air conditioner was loud and noisy. The bathroom was small and moldy. The fan in the ceiling of the bathroom was petrifying out of the curling tiles. Housekeeping were slow and would be finishing up late at night. I dont recommend this hotel at all. I would have tried to switch hotels but nothing was available around the area.

I'm not really one to write reviews, but just run... don't walk... run the other direction away from this hotel. From the trash surrounding the pool in bags, on tables etc from a party the night before, to the stains on the mattress, to the rotted ceiling in the bathroom to no coffee at breakfast, to the total scam they are pulling here. If this hotel continues to be a HIE much longer, i would be surprised.

Could be so much better

The hotel could use a lot of updating and maintenance. Holes and chips in the doors and walls, our chargers would not stay in the outlets, our floor had an exit sign for the stairs just dangling from the ceiling by its electrical wires. The breakfast options look nothing like the advertised photos. Pool area is not well kept. After our first night they had entered our room and did not replace towels, made only 1 bed and had knocked all our items off the stand. The next morning we asked ourselves for new towels and requested they not clean our room. The housekeeping we spoke to were very rude about it.

What I did not like was a 2- night stay offering buffet breakfast but when checking in staff informed something was broken and there would be no eggs of any type. Checking over what was available during our stay was a continental breakfast. Very dissatisfied. The other downfall was 1 tiny elevator. The staff weren't welcoming which made them shady. What I did like was the room. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room was spacious.

I thought I was safe going with Holiday Inn. How ever this place in very dirty. Everything is broken and run down. It was like 100 degrees pool was out of service for 4 days of our stay. Still out of service when we left. Dryer is broken. Oven was broken. Rugs in room are so dirty you couldn’t go bare foot. The people running the hotel are very nice and trying to get things back in control. We happened to go at a bad time.

The first room we were in smelled horrible, the outlets were broken, the fridge was broken, the toilet wouldn't flush and there were flies. We asked to be moved to a new room and that was granted. However, that room was not any better. The shower looked like it had a urine stain, the bathroom tiles were not secured, the sink would not drain, there was no phone to contact the front desk, the sheets were stained, and half the outlets were still not working. There are also 3 ice machines in the building and only one was working. To top it off there were crowds partying by the pool with teenagers drinking. One of the main reasons I booked this hotel was for my children to swim and they could not partake in that.

Please read review

I have never been so disappointed in a hotel stay. Upon arrival I could tell the hotel was dirty. I had someone else’s clump of hair stuck to me, bugs everywhere, garbage in the pool, and tiles broken in the pool. We were put on the 5th floor. Half the lights and plugs did not work in our room and the bottom of my bathroom door looked like there was water damage and peeling. The room was dirty. We get back to the hotel around 5pm with some groceries and the elevator stops working while my daughter and I are on it. It was working extremely slow to begin with and was disgustingly dirty. I go to press the emergency buttons and none of them worked. So I called the front desk and was put on hold immediately. So I call again to cut off the lady on the phone to tell her we were stuck, she hung up on me. I had to call back a third time to be told they called the fire department. We were stuck for 45 minutes. My 11 yr old is now traumatized and refuses to take an elevator. Barely received an apology and no offer to refund money. 2 young employees stared at my daughter blatantly and made her uncomfortable. At 7am 4 employees were standing around yelling and swearing at each other. One of my “clean” towels had a dead bug inside it. And there were stains left on the counter top even though they did not refill my coffee k-cups. It was just my daughter and I in a different state. I was told by the staff I could have went to another hotel.

To start our room wasn't ready at 2:45pm ok sure we were 15 mins early. We waited til 4pm and still our room wasn't ready. After driving 4 hours you dont want to wait if its 98 degrees outside. Our first day trip was ruined due to that since we couldn't drop off and go. The breakfast was ok too many kids for my liking for families unfortunately. The pool wasnt clean either really dirty on our first day. Ruined even more with kids making racist remarks at eachother. Overall pool is average not clean is the issue. Room was average at best smelled werid before we when got there. No towels we had to ask. Room cleaning was half efficient because the cleaner folded one bed and left the other undone most of the room untouched nor really worked on. Room design is awful particularly the shower. Was offered points never got anything. Wouldnt recommend and not going with this chain ever again from first impressions. The only thing it has going for it is being near Hershey park but again being understaffed can only be used so much as a excuse for being there 2 days. Also elevator is super slow and broke too theres that. Score:1 or 3 of out ten
