Red Lion Hotel Harrisburg Hershey

Everything was in order and clean. Staff very helpful and friendly. I love the Manager Randy we are like family now from visiting the hotel over the pass 7 years.

Very clean friendly staff

Our stay at the Red Lion was disappointing, especially because the indoor and outdoor pools were a major reason we booked the hotel. Despite calling twice before arrival to confirm that both pools were open, we found that they were unavailable. The hotel also felt dated and damp, and cleanliness issues further affected our experience, particularly while traveling with kids.
Pool Amenities
The outdoor pool area is spacious and could be great for families, but the pool itself was dirty during our visit. The hotel may appeal to families who value outdoor recreation and extra space when the pool area is properly maintained. However, guests relying on the advertised pool amenities should confirm availability immediately before booking.
Room Condition
The inside of the hotel feels old and outdated, with a noticeable damp or moist feeling. Our sofa bed was also dirty, which made the room feel less comfortable and clean than expected.
Cleanliness
The dirty sofa bed and poorly maintained outdoor pool were significant concerns. These issues, combined with the overall damp feeling inside the hotel, made the property seem less clean and welcoming than expected.
Overall Recommendation
The outdoor pool area has potential, but the dated condition, cleanliness problems, and inaccurate information about pool availability significantly affected our stay. The hotel needs to update its interiors, improve housekeeping and pool maintenance, and provide more accurate information about amenities. Guests seeking a modern, fresh, and consistently clean property may want to consider other options.

Everything amazing hotel with amazing staff

Staff was very helpful, very clean beautiful hotel.

The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable

This is probably one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Definitely my favorite with our kids. They have an indoor and outdoor pool, hot tub, playground, arcade, basketball and tennis court. Outdoor pool is HUGE. We could have made a vacation just at the hotel alone. It was in a stellar location. Next to a ton of stores and restaurants and fast food and very close to Hershey park and about an hour and a half from Crayola. Facilities were great. They were very full but very quiet. Very easy check-in and checkout process and the staff was always the friendliest and most accommodating. They were great about allowing us to use pool and playground during checkin and checkout too. The front desk staff from the week of 8/17 were all amazing at all times of day. Manager was amazing, personally introducing himself during our checkout and was so sweet with our kids; even giving them little toys to take home. Overall 10/10 experience.

Said no smoking but there was even smoking going on around the pool by a group of guys and they peed by the bushes behind the hotel . Ice machine on our floor had white particles in it obviously dirty. Can you refund us some money ? Smelled like someone was smoking Marijuana..

Two pools and a hot tub

The red lion never disappoints if you’re looking for a perfectly placed hotel with plenty of food/shopping nearby and only a short drive to Hershey without the Hershey resort process. The red lion is always a fun environment from the friendly staff and the bright lobby the rooms are very spacious with plenty of lighting and outlets clean and super comfortable beds.we’ve never had any issues staying there.There’s so much to do with the 2 pools, Playgrounds bar, patio, game room and jacuzzi. We especially love catching up with GM Randy he’s always making sure his guests are cared for and his staff is working to make you stay the most memorable and fun experience.

Thank you to the wonderful team at Red Lion Hotel Harrisburg Hershey for always giving my family pleasant experiences . We truly enjoyed our stay and created beautiful family memories that we will cherish. We would happily visit again & again and definitely recommend this hotel to other families looking for a clean, comfortable, welcoming, and kid-friendly place to stay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I always enjoy staying here. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Whenever I need assistance, they are always willing to help and point me in the right direction. I always have a great experience here and look forward to coming back each time. I can’t wait for my next stay here!

My family and I absolutely love this hotel. It has become a special place for us, and whenever we are in the state, we always make sure to stay here. We truly feel like part of the family, and we are so grateful for the wonderful hospitality we receive every time!

We will definitely continue coming back for many years to come. If you are looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and friendly place to stay, I highly recommend this hotel. We love it here!
