Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area
8/10 Good
"This hotel falls somewhere between a clean Motel 6 and a Holiday Inn Express. The room I stayed in this time (stayed here a month ago) was larger and more updated. A friend found a bug in his room, but it turned out to be a regional type of fly (it was almost 100 degrees that day). I was on the first floor, and the parking lot was close, not loud, but close in terms of people being able to look directly in. Had to close curtains, even during daylight. Very close to 81. Stayed in the King Room, which was sort of a suite with a separate sofa area. The bathroom was updated and very nice. Coffee machine and fridge in the room. Both front desk staff I interacted with were nice. Breakfast was what was expected for this price point."
Hampton Inn Harrisburg-East (Hershey Area)
8/10 Good
"Rating would have been higher, but we both slept terribly. The mattresses need to be firmer."
Baymont by Wyndham Harrisburg
6/10 Okay
"Breakfast was alright. The room had a bit of a smell to it, like feet but not very strong. Good enough for one night."
