Tv sound system didn’t work properly, the shower stinked like it needed some salts added to it. The ceiling looked dirty. The desk in the room you could tell it had water damage overall the room was dim and not impressive the cost of the room and the front desk people were super nice though. But this place looks very run down compared to the pictures shown online.

Room 513 omits a foul odor, which wreaked of rotten eggs. The bed did not have a comforter, neither the bedding for the pullout sofa. The bathroom provided one wash cloth for four individuals. The carpet in elevator haven’t been vacuumed in months, the grilled salmon on the salad had an absolute bland taste for $25. The bar maids were excellent

My kids loved the outdoor playground and pool area .And i know parents will aprreciate a nice relaxing day by the pool knowing the kids are still having a blast without spending any aditional money for that entertainment! It was also a bonus knowing we were helping support a small buisness owner who truly does appreciate each and every customer. Thankyou Randy we appreciate you making us feel so welcomed. You truly are an amazing owner . And thankyou to the kind gentlman who checked us in . We arrived really late and he was so kind and patient . Appreciate you as well

We were immediately greeted by friendly and welcoming staff, the room was clean, the temperature in the room was perfect. The morning breakfast was lovely and service was great! We will definitely be back!

We decided to stay based on reviews. But apon entering strong Marijuana smell, lady was nice. Price steep for not having a free breakfest. The IT helping me get on wifi screamed at me on the phone very very upsetting we almost left at 10 at night to find a new hotel if i didnt have young kids we would of left.. Desk and areas tacky to the touch, stains on the blankets, shower head leaked everywhere. Indoor pool not very accessible for a 4 year old and we wanted a pool to enjoy and didnt get to. Cords from wall laying on floor inbetween the beds. Would not recommend to family or friends even people we dont know.

I stayed here for 2 days and overall enjoyed my stay! The staff was over the top nice! I’ve stayed at many hotels across the US and this hotel has been the only one that called up to my room 20 minutes after check in to make sure I was okay and didn’t need anything. I will say the rooms have a little old smell to them mixed with a smell of smoke. You can tell the rooms are older. The hotel itself is huge with a lot of different amenities that were great. The location is amazing. It’s right across from a huge plaza with a Target, etc. on the other said is a Sheetz, Chic fil a, and so much more. Also only 20 mins from Hersheypark. The parking was great as they have a huge parking lot.
