Days Inn by Wyndham Hershey
Room was clean, staff was not really friendly but they were polite. We weren’t really there long, only to sleep. You can hear a lot of noise from the hallways, slamming doors people talking but that was the only real downfall.

Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area
Noisy guests. Our room took forever to get ready because the previous guest had made a terrible mess. Rooms outdated and bad furnishings. Our friend’s bedsheets had an indescribable stain. The only redeemable thing about the stay was it was cheap. You get what you pay for.
