One night, not bad
Pros:

Our room wasnt as bad as some of the other reviews. Bedding and bathroom were clean. We did not experience any bugs. Staff was friendly. We were beside the front office so i was kinda loud. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again

Pros:

Thought I was getting a good deal at 58.00 for the night. However my experience was totally not worth the price. I found 2 water bugs scurrying around the sink and toilet. The floors were dirty as well as the bathtub. The bed was supposed to be a queen but was more like a full. With a very squeaky frame and pretty uncomfortable. There was no heat or air working in the room. So I basically spent that money on a shower and watched a little TV. I left approximately 3 hours of being there. Very disappointed. I stayed there once before and had no complaints.

Pros:

I did not stay. I walked in and saw how trashy and smelly it was in the staff was super unprofessional. I had to book another room and a town where every hotel was booked and had to spend three times what I already planned.

Unsafe, Uninhabitable Room–Forced to Leave w/ Kids
Pros:

After a 4+ hr drive, I arrived with my 3 children to find a room in horrific, unsafe condition. My kids were so scared they refused to enter and waited in the car while I sought help. Staff were dismissive, and even a housekeeper admitted the room had known issues but management still rented it.

No safe alternative was offered. I was left late at night to find another hotel, canceling our planned Chocolate World visit and distressing my children. This was unsafe, traumatic, and unacceptable. Hotels.com should not list this property.

Pros:

I only utilized the room to shower. We slept in my truck. The only issue I had was there were roaches. Never again!

Pros:

This place is INFESTED with roaches. Shower, walls, TV, even in the bed with me. The only saving grace was someone that filled the vending machine priced everything a $1. I didn't take advantage but I think I should have. Proximity to Hershey Park was the other dancing Grace but spend a few bucks more and go elsewhere, there's plenty of options.

Pros:

Bugs in the bed and window without a lock.
The person in charged almost didn’t even fix my window. I ended up leaving right away and never stayed there. I requested a refund and still haven’t gotten it.

Roach Motel
Pros:

Room had heavy cigarette smell and was infested with roaches. It seems that the motel is also a shelter. The hall way smelled putrid and my experience was disappointing.

Pros:

The motion sensor light facing the toilet was very unique. The pipes banging all night right next to the bed was very distracting. Also the fact that we had no door chain and the lock was broken on our door was a little unsettling.

Pros:

Smelled like smoke in the room only to find out on check out day that two women cleaning were actively smoking cigarettes in the rooms they were trying to clean. Those women aggressively knocked on our door and told us check out was at 11:00 well before we had to be out and we’re talking insanely loud outside all morning. Parking was terrible and once the normal spots got taken up you are stuck with unsafe parking on a slant up against a fence. The bathroom was clearly full of mold and the paint on all the walls and ceiling were bubbling up underneath from all the water and mold collecting underneath it. Would never recommend this Inn to anyone. I understand we got a cheap place because we needed to save money so we shouldn’t have expected much but we both left the facility sick. It took about 48 hours for us to be healthy again after breathing in so much mold and smoke.
