Great service
Pros:

Was out with coworkers and the bar manager quickly noticed a patron that was claiming to be a famous person to gain free drink as he was insulting several other patrons… great service and very good attentiveness. Impressed to say the least.

great iovernight, pet friendly stop!
Pros:

we were driving back from a couple of weeks in Nashville back to Cape Cod....we had our dog with us and needed a mid trip stop spot that was dog friendly. we did the reservation "from the road" as we weren't sure how far we would make it on the first drive day push. we lucked into The Central Hotel Harrisburg! Yul at the front desk was very welcoming. we were able to park close to the first floor room - and everything about the room was nice. The hotel is large and has a full restaurant - so we got some desert and brought it back to the room. delish.

Amazing stay
Pros:

I just spent 3 great days at this Hotel. Every aspect of my time spent here was exceptional. Check in was a breeze and very helpful. My room was spacious and spotless! I had several meals catered by the hotel and they were amazing. The staff was polite, helpful, and professional! What am amazing team effort and pride in their work! I'll be there two more times this year for business and look forward to them both. Congratulations everyone on a job well done!
