Top Downtown Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Harrisburg Northeast - Hershey

10/10 Excellent

"I’m not looking for a place to spend the rest of my life when traveling. This is an excellent budget hotel for families. Clean, comfortable accommodation, in a safe neighborhood, excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Close to Hershey Park and Harrisburg."

Best Western Premier The Central Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"It's a nice hotel and the restaurant in the lobby has great food and really nice servers. The pool was cold, which was unexpected and if you have a pool-facing room, just be aware that all of the voices within echo through the room until the pool closes, which was not ideal when we were going to bed early."

Express Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Place was under renovation but I wont ding them for that. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. If I had to make any suggestions, the breakfast didn't have eggs during the week. Only had waffles, cereal and bagels . The silverware was the cheapest possible. Fix those two things up and they get five stars from me"
