Room was beautiful. Easily able to extend our stay due to the blizzard. And always saw housekeeping and staff cleaning and sanitizing everything.

Hilton Harrisburg
Staff was ok. The hotel surroundings and access was dirty. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for families. There are a lot of homeless folks in the area and the parking garage is sketchy.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Harrisburg Northeast - Hershey
The beds were EXCEEDINGLY COMFORTABLE. The staff was great. The hotel is situated directly next to a gas station and there was a loud, ongoing truck motor noise that woke me up at 6am and did not stop until 7am. Ask for a room at the back side of the hotel and all should be good.
