We enjoyed our stay, and it was well worth the money!
Pros:
The location is super close to Hershey, and it is literally downtown Hershey on Chocolate street. We walked to all of the restaurants, and sites from our room. I especially loved the Phil Arthur Cafe. It is in the building next door to the room, so we just walked right over for breakfast, some lunches & dinner. The staff are super friendly, and it has a family-owned, personal feel. The Phil Arthur Cafe also has delicious food with fantastic prices! I also loved how the Cafe had health conscious options. I was surprised to see avocado toast with sautéed spinach, and salmon salad, etc. But my favorite part was seeing the property owner jump in the role of the cook. The Phil Arthur cafe was pretty busy when we came for dinner and he jumped right in to help the staff. Then he was cooking breakfast when we returned the next morning!!! I didn’t realize that Phil owns the housing property, Fenicci’s Restuarant downstairs, AND the Cafe next door! By the way, the Cafe has an ice cream parlor inside.👍🏾What a great monopoly he has!!!
Cons:
The down side is that the building for the rooms is very old, as described on VRBO, and it could use a deep cleaning of the windows, corners, and crevices of the room. Also our room was located over top of Fenicci’s Restuarant, near where the outdoor customers were dining, talking, & drinking. Our bed was right next to the window, and even when it was closed, the customers dining downstairs were very loud and hard to sleep. Our bed was hard, and not level (dip in the middle), which made sleeping comfortably impossible.
**We had a problem with the shower leak and the front door bolt lock, but Phil fixed it the same day! Super responsive owners who live nearby, and they seemed to really want all of the guests to enjoy their stay. The price is definitely aligned to the property, but the downtown location is remarkable. You will not be disappointed with the location, the very engaged owners!
