We have been coming here since our kids were young. We love the convenience. The property is clean and beautifully decorated. The staff is amazing. Housekeeping does an amazing job. Although the kitchen was short staffed, we were able to still get our breakfast and coffee. Perfect location since everything's nearby.

Absolutely loved this hotel! As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with an extremely friendly check-in staff. It was our daughter’s birthday, so the check-in staff allowed her to puck a free snack from the snack pantry. The pool area was better than expected. The arcade is small, but cute. O’Reilly’s is the restaurant attached to the hotel. My daughter and I got breakfast there and the staff were also amazing and super friendly there. We weren’t happy with how well you can hear people in the hallway, but other than that, this hotel is perfect for anyone wanting to visit Hershey Park (was only an 18 min drive from the park). Will absolutely be staying here again.
