Nope

I reserved 3 rooms for me and my coworkers. All 3 rooms were dirty. One had a broken shower curtain and one had bugs on the desk in the morning. We only stayed the one night and cancelled the remaining rooms. The staff seemed to be new. The general manager was very nice.

It was decent place to lay your head down. The room is awkward positioned and little small. The pool looked cloudy, but pretty, never got the chance to use it. There for a concert, easy access to and from, wish it had shuttle service.

Disliked: Staff & service
I did not stay due to my daughter being sick and unable to travel 400 miles. I couldn’t talk to the hotel directly since I booked through Expedia. When I reached out to Expedia who said they called the hotel directly and spoke to the manager to explain my situation, the hotel would not refund the money for the two rooms I had booked. They would not even refund one of the rooms. So basically, I paid for two hotel rooms I did not get to use. I think it’s really sad that a company of this size would not refund 2 hotel rooms due to my situation. I do not recommend Expedia or Holiday Inn.

Worst Hotel ever

I stayed with my family at Holiday Inn Harrisburg on the night of August 17, and it was the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had. * First, we were given Room 328, which had a strong mold smell. * After complaining, we were moved to Room 125. In the middle of the night, we felt something crawling on us and discovered ants all over the bed. * When I reported this to the front desk, the staff brushed it off as if it was normal and not a big deal. * Finally, we were moved to Room 105, but again found ants on the floor and table. We are a family of four, including two kids, and this was not only extremely uncomfortable but also unacceptable. I never expected this from a Holiday Inn property. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Definitely would not recommend this hotel.
