Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area

Service seemed to be a general goal but ultimately was at the convince of the owners.

The place was somewhat dirty, was bizarrely and randomly furnished with bits and pieces from elsewhere that had been randomly placed into this room. Was two full size beds instead of queen size. No shower curtain and when one was requested, it was torn. Place looked like it had been hurriedly painted by a 5 year old. Breakfast was lousy and understocked. Next door to a defunct and run down restaurant that had become an independent church of some sort, which you had to enter next to to get into the parking lot, giving the the whole place the air of a cult compound. This was the third time I have stayed in Ramada in various places. Each time has not been good. Never again. Price was more than we paid in downtown DC (and $75 more than the room rate posted in the room). Said it was under "new management"--always red flag, and was certainly so in this case.

It wasn’t as clean as I would expect.

My hotel shower curtain was pretty dirty with pink mildew on it and when I requested a change they said they could not do it until the next day.
Additionally, a few of my towels were pretty stained… I realized they are clean but they were stained enough that they shouldn’t have been in circulation.

Our fabric sofa had red dull stains, don’t know if it was paint or blood or whatever so we threw a sheet over it.

There were never any pool towels at the pool area, which meant you had to take an extra trip to the front desk and wait if there was somebody already being serviced to get pool towels.

Breakfast hot food is the same every morning which by day 3 you’re done with sausage and eggs. Also there is only 1 waffle machine station which makes it quite a wait when you want one since this is the location that has families with children… And we all know all the children want waffles. They would do better serving the waffles in premade trays or at least having a second waffle machine. They don’t have bagels and cream cheese, only white sliced bread, no hard boiled eggs, only powered patties, only 1 yogurt flavor, and only 1 pastry which is blue berry muffins. My first morning there was no fruit when we went. Second morning only a few apples and bananas. It’s very basic. Which is fine if you’re not planning on eating there anyway or a light eater, but if you are and staying more that a couple of nights and wanting to be nice and full before heading to Hershey - it gets very limiting. Holiday inn has way more selection for breakfast and I think next time I would prefer to stay there.

They have these signs on the walls over the food saying “wasting food is like stealing from the poor”. I get they want to reduce wasting… But unless they’re actually donating everything that’s left over at the end of each morning to homeless people… The only thing they are truly asking you to do is save them some corporate bucks.

Television and rooms appear bigger and more spacious in online images.

I didn’t like the mattress but that’s just because I’m used to a memory foam mattress.

We stayed on a Tuesday night and it appeared that several family members lived onsite and the pool was crowded with their children. The children were screaming and splashing everyone who was not related to them and didn’t seem to be supervised at all. The water pressure in the shower was nonexistent.

Lighting in the room is a bit dark. Would be a little better with better illumination in the room.

Bathroom not clean and breakfast not good

We found nothing wrong with this place.

It was busy that weekend so the breakfast was crowded they shut the doors a little early so I ended up skipping breakfast the one day.

Too near the pool, chlorine smell was terrible

Room felt wet, floors etc and I assume the bathroom had been cleaned prior to the door being locked. I felt like I could see some mold on the ceiling. I could tell they had tried to paint over it but I’m sure it had to do with the extra humidity in the room. It needed to be addressed some more.
