Not at all what the website looked like and they need more staff to clean the rooms and rest of the hotel. It was very poorly maintained.

Great staff. The pool and gym are well maintained and a huge plus since the weather ruined our Hersheypark plans. Easy parking, nice amenities, and a great location near downtown with plenty of food and drinks nearby. Great stay overall!
