Pros:

very clean and bright.comfortable beds. Good location right off the highway.

Cons:

very small room with minimal "closet" space. Breakfast was unorganized and not a good flow-Need a larger space. No soap dish for bar soap in bathroom. For price expected a bit nicer.
No bar/restaraunt. Window shades would not go up

Great, clean, and convenient stay—I would definitely come back.
Pros:

The hotel was very clean and modern. The rooms were comfortable, the bed slept great, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for getting to Hershey attractions, and everything felt well-maintained.

Cons:

The breakfast options were a bit limited, and the room size was on the smaller side. Other than that, no major issues.

Very good value, pleasantly surprised. Nothing cheap about this hotel.
Pros:

Decor, flooring, bathroom, shower, linens, breakfast

Cons:

Only one single thing: No ice bucket in the room. How are we supposed to pick up the ice from the ice machine in the corridor?

Good value and comfortable
Pros:

Easy to find, close to services. Comfortable room

Cons:

Not much parking near the entrance to check in. It would be nice to have more than one chair in a room that has two beds.
