This is an okay place to stay if you just need a quick place to sleep. More of an old motel than a hotel.

Pick somewhere else!

Parking is not ideal, room was adequate but could use an update. Breakfast options were terrible and should not be advertised as breakfast, barely anything for guests to eat at all. The ice machine area was very next to a very creepy stairwell that had no door, unsafe.

We felt like for the price that we paid for the room. It was old and not up-to-date. Our carpet was stained and dirty. Our building was old and the pool area was old. The breakfast was very minimal and the building was noisy. You could hear other rooms around you.

We booked this property since it was close to Hershey Park and the online images looked nice but they are definitely old photos. We waited an hour and a half to check in because there was literally no one working in the entire hotel. Howard Johnson was no help when I called them. A staff member finally pulled up at 3pm to check us in. Also the breakfast was not on the go breakfast it was oatmeal packets, Raisin Bran, and Frosted Flakes. Will never return!
