Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Harrisburg - Hershey West, PA
Nice breakfast, room was very clean (albeit a little run down). I did not get to check out the pool or fitness center but at the price point it is nice to have those options. Quiet hours are also nice for those of us traveling for work. I already rebooked for my next business trip next week.
