We arrived at 3pm and shortly after arrival the pounding on there ceiling was continuous, I thought maybe there was a fight then later a ball, then stomping. Later the yelling of preteen children was just ridiculous. I complain 3 times with no success, then at 9:30pm I yelled at the kids to stop this nonsense with no success. I went to the office again and complained with no success. I then received phone call from one of the kids harassing me and I again reported this to the manager. He said what room was it dialed from, I said I don't know, still no success from the management. Finally at 9:45pm my elderly wife and I packed everything up and loaded the car to leave and I went to the desk again and gave the card keys back and wanted a refund and the $25 safely refund. He said to call Travelocity for the room refund and the $25 will be3e refunded tomorrow morning. This was an unbearable room rental adjust a terrible place. IU am elderly with many medical conditions and decided to drive home all night approximately 400 miles to get away from this place. I arrived home at 4:00am and both my wife and I were quite ill and feeling terrible. I want the room refund from Travelocity NOW and maybe compensation for recommending this horrible place!!!

Thin ceiling - you can hear every step of the floor above. Fire Alarm - something burnt during breakfast time causing the fire alarm to go off early in the morning. Everyone left their rooms to the lobby. Showers - low pressure, hot water lasted about 2 minutes Short staff- only one guy running the breakfast station and the front desk during our stay. Property - newer, and generally cleaned, staff are polite.

It was very clean but our room the door didn’t lock and we had to switch rooms. Then their internet didn’t work and we didn’t have access to cast to the tv like we were told we could. None of the apps worked on the tv as well. Also, there is a hold on my account for the deposit until May 23. But there is a lot of good for this place as it is very clean which is a great thing for a hotel.

Property is new. Staff were nice. Property was clean. Room was small. No microwave, that was a big inconvenience. Fridge was in a cubicle on the floor. Breakfast was ok, better than continental. Bacon bits instead of strips. Walls are cardboard thin. No carpet in rooms. If the occupants above drop something, you can hear it. You could hear people talking. Dove products in the bathroom, really appreciated that. 1 set of elevators. Far walk to your room. Unless you ask for a room closer. In a pinch, if there's no other options I would stay. Otherwise I'll pass. Just not for me. Overall a good day for others who don't mind.

Clean, still smells “new.” Lighting is a bit bright in the rooms, but you can control how many lamps you want to have on. Nice offerings for breakfast, orange juice not so great. Maybe offer a light roast coffee? Those are just minor things. I felt the room was comfortable, everything was clean and check in was smooth. It’s close to some nice shops in the area and not far from Hershey.

Other chains are missing these minor things

This is not one of your regular hotel chains. The building is fairly new. I did see construction fixes/patches here and there, but honestly, the place felt clean and my room was great. The price was great as well. What made this great for me is that the help desk from evening and through the morning check out was the absolute best I've ever had. Every one of the employees were friendly, approachable and genuinely very helpful! Also, breakfast was fresh and stocked, also the 24 hour fresh ground/brew coffee machines are things you don't see very often in the larger chains. Little things like this that make it good for me.
