Top Downtown Harrisburg Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Harrisburg Airport Hershey

8/10 Good

"Hotel was close to our daily destinations. Room was not quite up to our standards. Looks like management's cleanliness standards are not up what you usually see at a Wyndham property. Even the reception, lobby and hallways looked dingy. Breakfast area was adequate. Enough food and beverages to accommodate the morning travellers. Price was right, not sure if I would stay again..."

SureStay Plus by Best Western Elizabethtown Lancaster

10/10 Excellent

"We had adjoining rooms and they were very nice. The bathrooms were pretty small, but fine for us. The pool was really nice and the hot tub was awesome! Breakfast far exceeded our expectations and was delicious. The staff was wonderful! We will be back next year for sure."

Crowne Plaza Harrisburg-Hershey by IHG

8/10 Good

"I always wipe the bathroom down at the very least when I get into a room and when I did it here there was nothing coming up! Clean from the toilet to the tub. Wiped the room down and it was the same. Pretty small room. Didn’t go to the restaurant. But liked the location as well. I normally catch the train in so now I know this place is right around the corner (5 minute walk). Paid for parking beforehand and it was the best decision they have a valet service. Checked out the concessions they had didn’t look interesting to me looked cold and unappealing, but there were many ppl buying food and coffee they serve Starbucks coffee (just the coffee, none of their food items). There is a fridge in the room and a microwave in the lobby."
