I stayed in the hotel as it was convenient for me considering there was chess tournament happening in this very place. O
Pros:

The only reason I liked it was because I took part in chess tournament that was happening in the hotel itself. It was therefore convenient.

Cons:

The property is in very poor condition and clearly overdue for a full renovation. Carpets and furniture are extremely worn and look like they have not been replaced for many years. Cleanliness is also a concern — the windows and walls were visibly dirty, and the air conditioning units appear not to have been cleaned in a long time. The rooms are very dark, and many of the conference rooms have no natural daylight at all, which makes them feel like basement spaces. Overall, the hotel feels neglected, poorly maintained, and far below what you would expect for a property in this category for this price.

It may be the best in customer service in Harrisburg, but be prepared for the state of the areas outside the lobby
Pros:

This may have been a really nice hotel in it's day. I usually use the TripAdvisor ranking to decide which hotel in an area will be visited. I'm my opinion, this WAS NOT the best hotel in Harrisburg. I do have to say that the management did listen to me when we stated we couldn't stay...and made it right. This hotel would be fine at a lower price range (because you're getting what you pay for).

If you need something Randy and his staff will do everything they can to make it happen :-) the food is amazing from the breakfast to the dinner. The pool tables, games and bar are always a nice way to end the night :-) The indoor pool was always clean and inviting :-) If your there for the Hunting Show.. they even have a Shuttle to take you back and forth so you dont have to worry about parking or finding your car... they drop you off at the door and pick you back up with nothing to worry about except yourself and your belongings :-) For the Location, the sights, atmosphere, cleanliness, and the size of the rooms its the best value for your dollar :-) Remember if you need to put your head down for a night or 10, don't hesitate, Call Randy :-) He's got your room ready :-)

Top notch service
Pros:

We booked our father’s 90th birthday party here and the service couldn’t have been better! The sales team was very helpful in helping us plan it. The staff went above and beyond in accommodating for older people and helping folks navigate in and around the hotel. The hotel was very clean and the food and service were excellent. Also the space with all the windows was bright and beautiful for the party. I would highly recommend having an event here or staying at this hotel👍🏼

Milestone birthday celebration
Pros:

Easy access to hotel. Brenda’s expertise regarding food/beverage and decor made planning a breeze. Staff welcomed our guests and directed them accordingly. Lori, our waitress, was courteous and a delight. Grant made sure the cake was cut and the food was displayed elegantly.

Overall we were very pleased and would highly recommend the venue to others.

A special thank you to Randy and Dawn for some extra special touches that were very appreciated!

Very warm and welcoming hotel!!!
Pros:

We stayed at the Red Lion Hotel Harrisburg Hershey on Martin Luther King weekend. The hotel staff was very accommodating and responsive to our requests. The hotel was very clean. We were excited we even got to enjoy the outdoor hot tub in the snow. The wait staff for breakfast in the morning was also super friendly. Thank you to Randy and Terrance who made our reservations and provided a black rate for all our friends!! We look forward to more experiences!!
