Absolutely loved this hotel! As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with an extremely friendly check-in staff. It was our daughter’s birthday, so the check-in staff allowed her to puck a free snack from the snack pantry. The pool area was better than expected. The arcade is small, but cute. O’Reilly’s is the restaurant attached to the hotel. My daughter and I got breakfast there and the staff were also amazing and super friendly there. We weren’t happy with how well you can hear people in the hallway, but other than that, this hotel is perfect for anyone wanting to visit Hershey Park (was only an 18 min drive from the park). Will absolutely be staying here again.

Easy access off the highway and a personable staff that made stopping here a pleasure I'd repeat. The room was immaculate, comfortable and pleasant. Parking was easy and convenient. I could have easily gone out to a restaurant for dinner, but at the end of a long week, went to the hotel restaurant, O'Reilly's. The staff was as congenial, accommodating and pleasant as the hotel. I am very satisfied.

Staff that did not have upper floor balcony rooms left. Offered a room on first floor. The first room smelled like mildew carpet so I changed to another room on first floor. There were kids running through hallways, very loud. The room above me was very noise, a lot of banging and I could hear muffled voices

It's a pretty old building. The lobby is beautiful but the rooms give old and tired. The tub wasn't draining so the handyman came to fix the drain. It still is clogged. I was up to my ankles in non draining shower water. There's also a water advisory (so i was told) so the water is yellow.
