Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Many guests repeatedly praised cleanliness and room upkeep, though a few reported unvacuumed floors, hair in showers and a humid/chemical odor in common areas — overall slightly above average.
Service
8.8
Staff frequently described as friendly and helpful (carrying luggage, attentive housekeeping), but there are isolated serious service failures (overbooking, a manager comment) that temper the score.
Location
9.6
Consistently noted as very convenient and close to Hershey Park and local venues — one of the strongest positives in the reviews.
Room Quality
7.6
Rooms are described as clean and comfortable (beds praised, some spacious rooms), but recurring problems include paper-thin walls/noise, AC leakage/dampness, small/awkward bathroom layouts and isolated reports of unclean floors.
Amenities
6.6
Multiple guests cited missing or broken amenities: no elevator (not disclosed), broken/green hot tub, no in-room coffee makers or safes, sparse/empty vending/canteen and laundry change issues — amenities score is noticeably below average.
Value for Money
9.8
Several guests called it a great deal or great value and would stay again, though a minority felt it was overpriced or misbranded; overall sentiment leans very positive for value (used to balance weaker areas).
Food and Beverage
6.4
Repeated complaints about limited free breakfast (mostly bagels, cereal, muffins), no hot options some days, frequently empty items (milk, juice, butter) and inconsistent coffee availability — clearly an area for improvement.
Overall Experience
8.2
Mixed-but-positive overall: many guests report a wonderful, convenient stay with clean rooms and friendly staff, offset by persistent issues (breakfast quality, some amenity failures, occasional service breakdowns).

Over all, my stay was relaxing, comfortable, very clean, refreshing.
Pros:

The room was very clean, very well taken care of. I like that the hotel texted me right away to let me know I could text questions.i like that the tv was turned on and said "hello,"
Using my first name, and it was spelled right. The desk attendant who helped us was Joshua. He was very friendly, very helpful. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. The curtain did a good job blocking out the light at night.

Cons:

There were just a couple hairs in the tub, when I went to take a shower. The comforter in the 1 of 2 queen beds had a slight odor, like it did not get washed as well from the last guest.

Pésimo servicio
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena , le doy un 10

Cons:

Lo.que me.molesto mucho fue que en mi estancia pedí en el lobby que por favor limpiaran mi cuarto en mi ausencia y cuando regrese. No lo habían hecho, fui a reclamar y me dijeron. Que no había suficiente personal para dar servicio a todas las habitaciones que necesitan servicio, bueno al otro dia fui a pedir el mismo servicio de limpieza y me prometieron que esta vez si lo harían y se disculparon por el dia anterior, regreso esa noche cansado a las 11p..m. y el cuarto sucio , no habían limpiado otra vez , muy molesto voy al front desk a dar mi reclamo y lo mismo no hay personal para limpiar, es muy desagradable regresar después de 12 horas cansado y encontrar la habitación sucia 2 dias seguidos, ... no regresaré más a ese hotel.

Overall, I'd stay there again for sure if going to Hershey Park, it was clean with personable staff
Pros:

the location was the best if you are going to Hershey Park, like 5 min. away. The staff was very nice and helpful. the rooms appeared clean and comfortable. The staff cleaning and refilling he breakfast area were working hard

Cons:

the TV wouldn't work at all the first night...constantly glitching making watching impossible.. I advised staff in the morning who offered to send someone, probably needed re-boot.. I told hime I could do that... which I did and was fixed, until we came back to room in the evening, glitching again...so we just didn't watch TV.
advertised as included breakfast... which was pretty much bagels... there was fruit and muffins..one morning hard boiled eggs which all went very fast
Im not faulting there being nothing to eat, because there was.. but I was looking for some protein of some kind. The kids didn't mind at all

I will not stay at this hotel again. I do appreciate that the hotel is pet friendly.
Pros:

It was close to chocolate world.

Cons:

When we arrived we were not informed there was no elevator. I was unaware I could ask to have my room switched to ground floor because the guy who checked us in was too busy, complaining about all the guests who checked out late and caused delays for the guests that now needed to check in. My boyfriend and I had to ask for assistance to get our bags upstairs due to not having an elevator because both of us have back issues and didn’t expect to have to carry everything up two flights of stairs. Your breakfast is a joke. I went down every morning and the yogurt dispenser was empty. There was no cream cheese offered with the bagels. I know that may seem like a minor problem, however that meant I then couldn’t eat anything from your breakfast. The pillows were so soft there wasn’t even any support. Trying to get comfortable on those things was almost impossible. The heating/ac system smelled so bad! And let’s not talk about how dirty the carpet was throughout the entire place. And the fact that one of your front counter people had zero concern complaining about other customers to us is beyond me. I understand working in customer service is challenging some days, I do it myself. But don’t talk bad about other customers who checked out late to customers who are checking into your hotel. Especially for the first time. It’s not a good look.

Worst Hotel experience ever
Cons:

Booked room a month prior, room was paid for and verified. Arrived to hotel to check in. Front staff member told me she gave my room to "the people that kept walking in for rooms". She not only gave my room away but also did this to 3 other people who have also not checked in yet. She was not apologetic not offered no assistance in rectifying this situation.
