The room had a horrible smell. The shower didn't drain properly. The toilet didn't flush well. The room didn't have what was supposed to have in according to details when booked. Room looked absolutely nothing like in the photos. Paid $400 for a very old hotel room. Very disappointed

The restaurant in the hotel was amazing. The rooms and building were definitely a bit outdated but they tried to make it better. Staff was rarely around to help but check out was easy.

Nice place for the price
Nice place for a value hotel room. Pros: cost efficient, room had a nice clean smell, close to Hershey, nice bakery and brewery across the street for meals. Cons: our room was directly above the restaurant exit, there was a lot of door slamming and talking outside our window till about 11 pm. However, the rooms on the other side of the building were close to a very busy and loud road so we probably got the better of the two noise issues to deal with. The furniture definitely could stand to be replaced, tv was mounted poorly and didn’t get many common channels that my kids like, such as Disney. But we didn’t watch much tv anyway.

Bathroom door was hard to close you really has to slam the door. The beds was good to me. The the overall smell of the room was terrible. It smelled like meldow. And the wifi is trash, pool area was okay. But it's very close to Hershey Park

At least there were no bedbugs. 1950s style small cramped hotel room. If the price were $100/night, OK. But they charged me $360. The breakfast included was limited choice and poor quality.

“IM BUSY, CAN YOU CALL ME BACK?”
Honestly I didn’t even get to stay at the hotel. The concert I was going to see rescheduled so I called to reschedule my booking. When I called in the guy at the front desk told me to call back in 5 minutes- he was away from the desk. I called him back in 10 and he told me he was still busy and in the middle of something and to call back later. I was extremely confused. And hour later out of my own stupidity, clearly, I called back and he yet again refused to help. I hung up. I did not rebook. I did not call back. I ate the fee because i felt defeated and upset. I’ve never had this happen before. I will NEVER book here ever again.

Stay somewhere else!!
We noticed the room was not the cleanest when we arrived (sides of mattresses were stained/random stains and marks on other furniture and walls) but we got in late and were leaving early in the morning so we just went to sleep. In the morning we noticed a bug in the bed upon leaving. It made me nervous but I realize there are bugs in the world so I tried not to think too much of it. On the way home we found two bugs in the stuffy my daughter slept with and I found one on the shirt I slept in so obviously it's a bigger issue. When I reached out to the hotel they couldn't have cared less so this is something that probably occurs regularly there. I've also never left a bad review about a stay in my life but I think anyone that books this place should be aware.
