Top Downtown Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area

10/10 Excellent

"Room wad clean was very noisy at night"

Holiday Inn Express - Harrisburg East by IHG

8/10 Good

"I purchased 6 rooms for 1 night as we were in town for a men’s conference in Camp Hill. Checking in took a while but the staff checking us in were very friendly and engaging. Unfortunately because it took some time a line formed behind us. The room was nice and I enjoyed the bed and pillows. Nothing spectacular but nice. The bathroom fixtures are older and the drain seemed partially clogged. The other Jen in my group stated the same. Breakfast was amazing and the best part of the experience. There was so much to choose from and I wanted 1 of everything. Later that evening I had 1 more person arrive and there was difficulty getting his room straight and another line formed. Guests trying to check in were getting restless and it started to turn hostile. Overall for the price I think we paid too much but with the breakfast included it made it a tiny bit better."

Hampton Inn & Suites Hershey

10/10 Excellent

"This is our go to place for when we’re at Hershey. Staff is incredible. Each visit is special. This last visit was for our son’s birthday and they took the time to decorate the room with balloons, a bday sign and a bag full of treats which was a very cool surprise for him. Breakfast is always delicious. Only complaint is the mattresses could be updated but that wouldn’t deter us from continuing to stay here."
