Top Downtown Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Hummelstown Hershey

10/10 Excellent

"The room was nice and clean. Easy to get to Hershey Park"

Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area

4/10 Poor

"Staff was friendly but that is the only positive I can really give. The property is in marginal condition even though it was supposedly fully renovated just last year. The room had clean sheets but there were several spots that had stains and/or discoloration on them and the shower still had hair from the previous guest stuck to the wall. I don't expect anything fancy for a $250 night stay, but seeing the hair and stains is off putting. The people I was traveling with also reported poor cleanliness and stains on the bedsheets. I would not stay here again."

Crowne Plaza Harrisburg-Hershey by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Stayed May 28th - May 31st We were in town for my friend's wedding and this was one of the hotels noted on their "Wedding Knot" invitation. We didn't really interact with the staff much except check-in Thursday evening and checkout Sunday morning. The guy who checked us in was polite. The lady who checked us out was doing the minimum; didn't ask how was the stay, if we needed anything (a car, help with luggage, etc.), or even thank us for staying. We were surprised to see that our room didn't have a microwave. The housekeeping staff only cleaned our room on Friday morning and didn't refill the coffee cups, coffee pods, nor sugars. The room could definitely use a thorough & deep cleaning. We attempted to have breakfast in the restaurant on Friday morning, and since we were on vacation we wanted to indulge in the mimosas offered on the menu, however, after waiting for almost five minutes at the table we were told that there was no prosecco available so we kindly excused ourselves, tipped the server a couple bucks for her time and went next door to the Hilton for breakfast and mimosas. When we were leaving on Sunday morning, my boyfriend ordered a coffee from the Starbucks kiosk in the lobby, and not only was the young girl that was working that "not in the mood to be here", she also made my boyfriend's coffee completely wrong. For $13, I told him to give it back and get what he actually wanted, but he was just ready to go at this point. Overall, our stay was about a 3.5/5."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Harrisburg - Hershey West, PA

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I was honestly a little nervous when I booked it because the price was much lower than many of the other hotels in the area, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, once I arrived, all of those concerns disappeared. The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. The pool was well-maintained and enjoyable, the beds were comfortable, and the shower was spacious and nice. Having breakfast available in the morning was also a great bonus and added even more value to the stay. My only minor criticism would be the fitness room. It’s mostly cardio equipment, and some of it is a little outdated. That said, everything still worked fine, and it certainly wasn’t a major issue for me. Most guests probably won’t spend much time in the gym anyway. Overall, I really have no complaints. For the price, this hotel provided excellent value, and I would absolutely stay here again. I’d give it a 9 out of 10, with the fitness room being the only reason it’s not a perfect score."

Tru By Hilton Hershey Chocolate Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay here. Walking distance to downtown for restaurants, shopping, and some of the museums, and a short drive to Chocolate World and Hershey Park. Breakfast was always great and our kids loved the pool and games in the lobby. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Hershey!"
