Tru By Hilton Hershey Chocolate Avenue

Comfort Inn & Suites Harrisburg-Hershey North

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a very good surprise. Everything was very good, and the staff kept the whole area very clean. The air conditioner was quiet, and the room had a very clean feel. All in all, this was an excellent accommodation less than 15 minutes from Hershey Park. I would definitely stay here again"
