10/10 Excellent

"Has a great time with my three children."

Hilton Harrisburg

10/10 Excellent

"Wow, wish we could have stayed longer. The location was excellent and the restaurants in the area were close and dog friendly. It was one of the reasons I picked this place to stay and it had a nice area for the dog as well. comfortable bed which is a plus in itself. There are lots of amenities, but like I stated above, it was a quick stay. The staff we met and the people parking the vehicles were extremely friendly."
