Stay was good enough for what we needed it for. Took a cold shower though, water did not warm up. Fridge worked. Bed was comfortable enough. Location wasn’t too bad. Close enough to attractions and dining. Not much amenities.

Room was clean but the tub was cracking in several places. Very limited items for breakfast and milk was spoiled however the staff did bring out fresh milk. Staff was friendly. The price was right. There was a few things going on in Hershey so when all the other motels where sky high prices this motel was very reasonable.

Not a bad place for cheap. Vending machines will steam your money and it won’t be refunded, but what can ya do? Staff are mostly all great. Only dealt with one arrogant front desk worker in the dozen times I’ve stayed here. Clean rooms, spacious and quiet.

Good stay
The room worked for well for my purposes. It was easy to get to and from Hershey and the highways. The room was clean though a little dated, especially in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable.

A great stay on a budget.
Despite the neighborhood surrounding falling apart the management staff here is really keeping it together. They made a last minute accomodation for me not only at night but in the morning as well. The night staff was fantastic and the morning manager was polite and approachable. Definitely a place you can take your family and feel safe.

It was okay for the price.
It was a good location and clean upon arrival. Only thing I would suggest is service during stay. We never had anyone come in to empty the trash, change sheets, or replinish towels.

The property was priced effectively and the location is convenient to much. The hotel is very tired and run-down. The light didn't work in our sink area, there were visible bugs in the bathroom, and its pretty grimy overall. Smelled terrible. I hate to give a negative review, but this ones definitely only ok in a pinch. Staff was friendly once on-site.

Decent for price
Decent room at a decent price! Room was prettyclean but extremely outdated, bed was comfy but old, floor clean in outer areas but dusty and crumbs behind bedframe and nightstands! Shower and bathroom were clean but there is definitely needs updating , had last room on 1st floor took 5 min for water to get HOT but when it did look out was scalding! Overall was decent but looks like last update was late 90s early 2000s, if looking for decent place for a couple nights at good price this is the spot easy access to shopping and highway from here!

Staff was friendly, room set up was decent. But what grossd me out was a strong cologne odor when I walked into the room. The order was on the bed and the pillows which made me assume pillow cases sheets comforters were not switched out. Bathroom toilet made a loud rumbling noise when toilet was flushed.( Something with the pipes). Other than that I guess you get what you pay for
