Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Harrisburg - Hershey West, PA

10/10 Excellent

"It was really good place to stay"

Crowne Plaza Harrisburg-Hershey by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is my third time staying here, and I’ve always had a great experience. I’ll definitely stay here again when I come back to town!"

BurgBnB Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"This place was fantastic! From the outside it looks fine but when you open the front door to the place, we were so surprised at how nice this place was! I am very picky about cleanliness and this place was super clean including the bathroom! The owner has thought of literally everything you would need for a stay away. He was very fast with getting back to us if we had any questions and even checked on us mid way through our stay to make sure we were ok. I would give this place a 10 and highly recommend it!"
