“Mother of a 3 yr old very satisfied with stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

person found this review helpful

Myself & husband were very satisfied with our stay at this friendly clean place. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful when our gps broke & we got lost; they called us to guide us with directions. This will definitely be our twice yearly home away from home when visiting Hershey Park. Also the close proximity to the park was a added bonus and the great restaurants couple of paces away!! Thank you Rachel for making our stay so pleasant.

Thank you very much for your review! We are truly grateful to have you as our valued guest, it was certainly not a problem to help your family during their stay with us in Hershey. Sometimes GPS's can be troublesome, I've experienced that myself before so we can relate to the pain :)Rachel conveys her regards and we are looking forward for you to visit us again in the near future!

“Do not stay here!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This is a place to avoid. The website is not truthful at all. Amenities- scarce. No iron, no hairdryer, not enough towels. If you are a traveler who uses the little shampoos and lotions ( I do not) then make sure you take your own. They were either previously used or very old. There was no hot water to take a shower..... it was not even luke warm!!! We were awakened at 7:15 am by someone pounding at our door and attempting to open the door. When we tried to call the front office there was no phone service to call for assistance. The other hotel guests ( 2 tour busses) were running in hallway and very loud at this time also. Again could not notify front office. We couldn't even find a number to call other than an 800 reservation number. Also- no closet. You hang your clothing on a bar that goes across a table that you would sit at!!! The pillowcases had some sort of dirt on them- one appeared to be blood, the other old food (I hope). Needless to say we did not use them!!! THe mattresses are not for anyone who has back trouble. They are lke sitting on a marshmallow and sinking to the floor. It is not newly renovated - or it was a very poor job!! The owner on check out sis not seem to want to hear our complaints. The phone service was not brought to our attention upon check-in and although I cannot imagine they were not aware of the tour groups loudness and running aaround ( they were running around the entire complex) he stated that he could not do anything about that. Also, the tour group propped opened secured doors. This is not the hotel to stay unless you want poor service. I will travel the extra distance to around the Hershey attractions or to the turnpike exit to stay the next time we visit this area. It is not worth your time or money.

Thank you for your review and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you may have had during your stay. First lets get to the point we have mutual agreement on: 1. Back when the hurricane hit east coast, it took our phone system out for a short time, you just so happened to be staying here while we were transitioning to installing a new system which takes a few weeks after ordering it. We have had a BRAND NEW one installed since. Everything else you mentioned are fortunately not representative of our property. We never reuse another guest's used lotion/soaps/shampoos, it is not worth the liability on a commodity that has virtually very little value and can be easily replaced. We repeatedly position ourselves as a family style-franchised operation. What that means to our guest is that we are a local Inn that offers all the amenities as an economy franchise hotel with a family style environment. Our guests know the Innkeepers by their names and we want to keep it that way. We are very reasonably priced without any pricey bells and whistles. A unique and simple clothing rach under the TV stand, rare to find anywhere these days, adds to the local hershey Inn than a fancy closet available at anywhere. Both serve the same purpose: hanging your clothes, but here you get the 'Hershey' feel. Once again, I want to personally extend my apologies for the inconvenience you faced during a group which may have disturbed you. We will look into that further as guest privacy and comfort is uncompromised, and prevent any future occurrences. Thank you once again for bringing some things to our attention.

“Stay away,filthy and staff nasty and speaks very little English.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011 via mobile

Worst hotel ever. Enter rooms when you are not there, even when you request no maid service. When I complained I was told I should've told them at check in because staff does not speak English. Nasty and not accommodating. Would rather sleep on a park bench.

1. This review should be removed as the reviewer has opinionated bias for writing this. Regardless, we thank you for taking the time to write this review. Every room has DO NOT DISTURB signs, how come none was placed on the door? You also had the option of calling the Front Desk to notify you didn't want housekeeping.
2. Looking at your actions, we should have charged you for smoking in a non-smoking room! The sign upon check-in clearly states 100% Non-Smoking Facility! Can we hold you responsible if a guest walked into the room and had an allergic reaction to the smoke? Because of your actions, we had to completely refresh the room including a professional shampoo to the carpets.
Dear ma'm, please be sincere in your comments about facilities (not just ours, but any service facility) in the future, it really demoralizes the staff in striving to do their best. My perspective is only to challenge your viewpoint and get you to realize that regardless of who is working the desk, we are all Americans! From this day forward, if a guest of your caliber shows up to our doorstep, my staff is now advised to hold their ground, do what is necessary, and take it as a bad pill to swallow. I wish you all the best for the future!

“Good Moderate Hotel, They are trying to Improve”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Hershey, PA and surrounding areas. The owners are very nice and very sweet. They are trying to update the rooms. The beds aren't bad, Very modern and Ikea looking.

The towels in the bathroom were alright, but some of them were ripped. The bathroom wasn't really cleaned. There was long black hair on the floor and hanging on the shower curtin. The bathroom was at one point in time, pink. You could tell because the white paint was starting to chip. Also, not too many places to hang towels after you get out of the shower.

The hotel was expensive, I thought, for what we got. Glad we only stayed 2 nights. I don't want to discount the hotel too much, because like I said, you can tell that the owners are trying to fix it up. Hopefully they will get the smaller details all taken care of and it will end up being a good hotel.
