Stay was good enough for what we needed it for. Took a cold shower though, water did not warm up. Fridge worked. Bed was comfortable enough. Location wasn’t too bad. Close enough to attractions and dining. Not much amenities.

Room was clean but the tub was cracking in several places. Very limited items for breakfast and milk was spoiled however the staff did bring out fresh milk. Staff was friendly. The price was right. There was a few things going on in Hershey so when all the other motels where sky high prices this motel was very reasonable.

Not a bad place for cheap. Vending machines will steam your money and it won’t be refunded, but what can ya do? Staff are mostly all great. Only dealt with one arrogant front desk worker in the dozen times I’ve stayed here. Clean rooms, spacious and quiet.

Great stay for the price

It was exceptional for the pricing. Nothing luxurious but the bedding was extremely comfortable and the location was very quiet. I would stay again.

Staff was nice enough. The bathroom door did not close. There was no hot water. The tub basin was flaking off and cracked. Breakfast was minimal with mini muffins and not much more. Otherwise, the room was clean.

I had to spend a half hour before opening my bags, cleaning my room. No toiletries available and the cleanliness of the lobby and carpeting throughout the halls was terrible. Once I returned home I even noticed a charge for Econolodge on a card I never even swiped here.
