SureStay Plus by Best Western Elizabethtown Lancaster

10/10 Excellent

"Great property with great customer service. The room was clean and smelled good. The breakfast was a bonus!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Hershey

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly greeted by Debbie and Mike upon checking in for our one night stay. Debbie was suggesting local restaurants and even mentioned the Hershey theater (where we were headed to see the Grinch) was once her childhood movie theater. The location of this venue is walkable to that and more. We enjoyed the breakfast the next morning and even though we didn’t indulge in the waffles, there were plenty of waffle irons so no one would wait much at all. Fresh fruit and great coffee was appreciated. I recommend this venue for price, cleanliness and convenience to downtown Hershey attractions."
