Top Downtown Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area

10/10 Excellent

"My girlfriend and I booked this room last min for a quick getaway, we were throughly impressed with our room and the property, especially for the price. Only issue would say, our room smelled of bleach and the floors were slippery.. it was extremely clean, but the room should've been dried and aired out. The pool was amazing and it goes up to 5ft which I loved. I would definitely recommend."

Tru By Hilton Hershey Chocolate Avenue

8/10 Good

"Very kind and helpful front receptionist. The hotel was pretty clean . But the elevators needed to be cleaned or I saw lots of fingerprints on it. And the elevators floor was not clean too. When we entered our room, I saw a big hand print at the back of the door close to the lock too. The breakfast was not too much sections."

Courtyard by Marriott Hershey Chocolate Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and tidy. My stay was delightful and the staff were very friendly and polite. I also commend the cleaning staff and acknowledge their professionalism. I left my jacket and the maid gave it to management! Thank you, Margaret M."

Hampton Inn & Suites Hershey

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I had a very good experience with our stay at Hampton Inn and suites. The room was very clean, and the staff were all nice. The lady who greeted us from the reception was very accommodating and friendly. Since this was our first time in Pennsylvania, she gave us a suggestion of the nice places we can to. The breakfast was great! I was surprised compared to other hotels that we stayed before."
