We knew the hotel was under construction before we arrived and honestly, it wasn’t too bad. Our room was really clean and comfortable, the staff was amazing and it was conveniently located to Hershey Park. All in all, a great experience and would definitely stay here again
It was nice, but the breakfast was free and it was that good either and I found a stink bug in my room. Also I was really looking forward to the hot tub and it was broken, the whole time I was there.
The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel was very big and had a saloon and restaurant, however the restaurant was not open so we had to eat in the saloon which was ok. The outside area had no benches or tables to just sit and relax.
Staff was extreemly helpful and let us check in early.
So overall it was ok. Staff was very nice. The breakfast was great. However its currently under renovation repairs and it took us a few tries to get a room where there wasnt an issue. The front desk was very accommodating and the location was right off highway. Only 15 minutes give or take to the park so it was convenient.
Love Holiday Inn so much! The staff are so nice, they let us take the breakfast out and eat in the hotel! It was the best vacation ever!

There were some issues with the system so it was difficult to check in but the front desk staff was very positive about the situation and kept me comfortable until I could get in my room.
