La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Harrisburg Airport Hershey

8/10 Good

"I will recommend this place"

SureStay Plus by Best Western Elizabethtown Lancaster

10/10 Excellent

"We were treated so well from the time we walked in. There was an issue with our reservation so instead of making it our problem they fixed it and upgraded us into a suite. The staff was kind and the place was so clean. My husband is super picky about cleanliness. The breakfast was so good and had so many options. It was more than just fruit and rubbery eggs. Me and my son who is gluten free had so much to choose from. We will stay again for sure!"

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

8/10 Good

"The rooms are dated but fine. The shower knob and one light needed fixing. It’s not a housekeeping issue - it’s just what happens when a place has been heavily used. Breakfast was much appreciated and a mixed bag. The servers were constantly refilling and attentive. Fitness room was also dated as was the pool but clean. Our room was overlooking a highway so if you’re a light sleeper, maybe a room facing away from the street would-be best. It was fine for the price we paid. Thank you"

Comfort Inn & Suites Harrisburg-Hershey North

10/10 Excellent

"I love staying here whenever I am in the area. This was my third visit and I brought my family this time. As soon I entered the lobby, I was greeted again with the friendliest staff, that remembers who I am! The room was very clean, and the breakfast had a nice variety of hot and cold selections. Staff even went table to table asking if anyone needed anything. You just can't go wrong. My family also enjoyed the clean pool. They are under relatively new management and they are doing an amazing job. I'll be back for sure."
