I was quite surprised at the niceness and cleanliness of the room. I do wish they offered a coffee station. The price is definitely right in the Hershey area!

The property was average and fine for a quick one night stay. But cleanliness needs to be worked on. I found so much of other people’s hair in the bathroom and on the bed. The carpets need to be replaced - they were dingy & idk how long they’ve been there. The whole building could you a face lift. I did like that the room had a mini fridge and microwave for convenience.

The website for this hotel shows breakfast is included which we factor in our expenses for our trip. A drink and oatmeal packets really? I will say the rooms were very clean.

We had an outside door in our room that needs rubber gasket around it. Cold air leaks in all around it. Other than that it’s great! And a bargain!

It is near everything and the only draw back is the restaurant takes all the parking so you will have to wait. Also the ice machines are broken and all the furniture doesn't match but you get what you get for the price

Terrible due to weather I had to cancel and A worker by the name Dennie would not show grace knowing the weather was horrible. Dennie could have assisted me better an not charge my card. I won’t pick this location again. My car got stuck we couldn’t get to the hotel.

Nice spot close to town.
Very comfortable beds - easy check in - price was right. Furnishings are a bit dated but that’s what helps make it more affordable. Super close to Hershey Theater where we saw a play. Great spot.

This was our 2nd stay here and our room was clean and quiet and met our needs for a one night stay. Close to all atractions and dining options. Bring your own blow dryer if needed as there is none in room and the one at the front desk was already being used.

This hotel is very close to Hershey Chocolate factory and Hershey Park.It takes only 8 minutes's drive to Hershey park.I don't see any other hotel that close to Hershey Park.I liked the hotel because of its location.There is only one issue is that you are not able to check in before 3:00PM. and front desk staff doesn't come at the desk unti 3:00 PM.

The only thing the maid service did was replace dirty towels but each day a dirty one was left on the floor in front of the toilet. No extra toilet paper or soap or shampoo given. Was given ripped/shredded towels. Was told about the minimum maid service after we arrived. Should have been told before we booked the rooms

Our room was on the second floor and no elevators. Trying to carry heavy luggage up the stairs was a struggle. They advertised free breakfast and all there was was cold cereal and oatmeal packets. The bathroom looked like it could use some work. The room and beds did appear clean though.

We arrived at about 230. They wouldn’t let us check in until 3 on the dot. Half the rooms in the hotel aren’t used but they claimed they had to inspect the rooms before we could check in. Area around the pool/outdoor area has a wooden fence around it that’s broken and hanging. Looks like it isn’t being kept up with. Pool isn’t covered full of dirt and leaves. Green/brown water. There is a restaurant on the basement floor. Loud music until midnight. We could hear it while laying in bed. Our room was right near the street. Cars speed down the road so it’s very noisey all hours of the night. All they have for breakfast is cereal and apple juice/orange juice. I will say the bathroom in our room was very clean.
