I stayed at a Holiday Inn in Staunton, VA four days prior to this stay. This Holiday Inn lacked cleanliness, attentive staff, and the room's bathroom looked like it was under construction. Also, when I booked my room, it was for a king sized bed. When we got there, an hour later, none of those rooms were available, even though the website said there were 3 left!

Excellent!

From check in to checkout, everything was perfect. Hotel managers were very pleasant. Hotel was very clean. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Hershey. We had zero complaints and the small touches like lotion and body wash and things inbetween made our stay more comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Lots of choices and yummy. Hands down one of the best stays for us!
