    Market in the lobby.
    Austin G.

    If you're on a budget and staying just one night, Fairfield Inn is a fair choice. It's right off the major highway close to plenty of shops and restaurants and offer free parking for guests. Check in is speedy and for a tiny hotel, the lobby even has a small market selling snacks and basic travel goods. The dining room is nearby serving a large breakfast daily for guests. The first level also has a work out room (with three treadmills) and a pool and hot tub. The rooms themselves are spacious, but they feel old. Our room had a funky smell and the entire hotel felt old and dingy. For one night, it worked, but we wouldn't want to stay more than that.

    Mold

    I travel a lot, both business and personal, and have built a tolerance for small nuances and inconveniences with hotels. And I've never written a bad comment or review for one. However, my stay at the Fairfield Inn in Harrisburg, PA will ruin that track record and earn the title of "Worst Marriott Experience. Ever." Between the musky, mildew smell; the water damage that appears to be causing mold and the wall paper to bubble and peel; the dead bug in the light fixture and the dead cricket in the bathroom; the very damaged and scared furniture; the way the blackout curtains extend three feet from the wall when the AC or heat is on because they're too long (and thus defeating the purpose of blackout curtains, not to mention privacy since I was on the ground floor); and the overall dated look and feel of the accommodations --- the hotel feels like it has fallen to the level of, if not lower than, that of a motel. Also, the staff was friendly, but seemingly disinterested; especially was the case as I was checking out. While I still largely remain an advocate consumer for the Marriott brand, sadly, I will not be staying at this particular hotel again on my next business trip to Harrisburg. I also can't recommend this hotel to my coworkers, friends, or family, and would advise to look elsewhere.

    Disgusting stay!!! Will never stay again. Room ac smells awful, it's muggy and just nasty. There was a spider in the shower and a weird looking bug on the bathroom wall! YUCK!!!

    Hotel Bar Review: Central Pennsylvania Hilton…read more My reviews are different. I do not announce myself or tell anyone my purpose; I am simply here to provide a review! Yesterday, when I went to court, there was no "partisan ferocity." I believe that is what made me so upset--my hearing had to be rescheduled, leaving me with extra time to hang around Central Pennsylvania. On the plus side, it gave me time to leave a few beautiful reviews. I walked right over to the Hilton because I didn't want to waste the parking I had already paid for. I went in to order an Old Fashioned. I visited this place before the New Year and had one then, but it seems nothing is ever quite like the first time. This was my third time having this drink here. The first time was amazing; it was made to absolute perfection, and I fell in love with it. As I have said in my previous reviews, I don't drink to get drunk--I drink for the taste. That is exactly what I was looking for this time, but the drink was watered down. I couldn't taste the citrus, the bitterness, or the sweetness I expected. I don't know if it was the atmosphere or the mood, but I attribute the quality to the bartender. He gave me no eye contact while I was inside the establishment. I tried to initiate small talk, and still, there was no eye contact, so I place the disappointment on him. The other staff members were very nice, which was great. I was there midday before the lunch hour, which made the environment more enjoyable. I turned a negative into a positive by sitting outside to enjoy the nice weather and a beautiful cigar. (If you want to find a good cigar spot, check out my other reviews to see where I normally get mine!) I tried to pair this drink with my cigar, but it disappointed me; it did not compliment the cigar at all. It didn't do what I needed it to do, which was provide a great taste. My Ratings: Atmosphere: 4.7/5 Bartender Experience: 2.7/5 Drink Quality/Consistency: 2.5/5 It is all about consistency. As a customer, I feel the experience should always be top-tier. I hope my review helps you make your decision on visiting this establishment.

Another pro is that the staff are very nice and they even called up to my room after I got in to make sure everything was okay. I also think they have a nice lobby and restaurant/lounge area. The cons is that the rooms are small and rather dated. It's also a little loud if your room is facing second st. Overall, it's an okay stay, I just think it needs a little bit of an update.

But those are about the only redeeming qualities. The first room I checked into, the HVAC unit sounded like a jet plane getting ready to takeoff. The second room had an odor about it - - a mixture of old smoke and the ozone treatment they used to try to purify the air. Within 30 minutes I felt like someone was standing on my chest because the air quality was that horrible. Moreover, both of those rooms were so small that you could not open the hotel room door if the bathroom door was open. Room three put me up on the 10th floor that was more spacious, but the HVAC unit had to run constantly. It was either on or off and when you turned it on for heat, the dust smell was overpowering. I had to leave it off overnight, so my allergies wouldn't trigger an asthma attack and I woke up to a 62° room. If I tried to sit in the chair by the HVAC unit, the musty smell was overpowering. Let's talk about housekeeping now. They did come to my room every day and pick and chose what they did. They never made the bed, would take some towels, but not others. But they did empty the trash. The fitness room appears pretty solid. However, pick your equipment wisely as some of the treadmills are on the same runway as that HVAC unit noise canceling headphones were definitely in order. The staff I encountered were friendly enough, but they were obviously annoyed with me for complaining. Checking out was definitely the most pleasurable part of my stay.

The purpose was simply to have a place to sleep overnight because we were attending Hershey Park for holiday festivities. We didn't need a glamorous hotel room, which we understood going in. We just wanted beds, hot water, a little cleanliness, and maybe some coffee. Unfortunately, none of those basic expectations were met at this establishment. We checked in around 8:00 PM after dark. The beds didn't have any blankets, the mattress was uncomfortable, and the room was unclean--we even found a wad of hair just lying around. The next morning, we checked out the breakfast to see if there was anything worthwhile. There were some options, but everything was cold. We decided to skip it and just get coffee. The coffee had grounds floating in it and was very gritty, so I ended up going to a nearby gas station instead. On my way there, I noticed the trash cans in the parking lot were still overflowing, just like they had been the night before. It seems like whoever is running this place does not care at all. There are no standards. Even when I tried to give the hotel one last chance and take a shower to rinse off and restart my day, the shower was ice cold--there was no hot water in the entire establishment.

All night long, the toilet flapper leaked, making our flushing water pressure very low. There were dead bugs in lampshades (see attached photos) over the kitchen table, which completely ruined our dining experience. Throughout the suite, there was an old, musty smell that made our nostrils hurt as we tried to get some much needed shut-eye.

Some of the rooms have no wall thermostat and the temperature cannot be controlled from the wall unit. If it is a cold month, bring lots of layers to sleep in (see #1). 3. To access the Internet you will have to agree to receive lots of spam emails and calls. Good luck. 4. The hotel says it is a 3 star hotel.

I would seriously consider one of these instead.

We had a 1920's awards dinner and the Penn Harris staff got involved. I loved seeing everyone's take on the "Roaring 20's." It really transformed you back into that era. We were given a tour of the newly renovated rooms and were told the history of the Penn Harris Hotel . They have a display case of Penn Harris artifacts and a large mural honoring its history is in the lobby. If you look close you can see a picture of the original hotel in one of its sections. I was really impressed with the beautifully updated bar, (also playing along) staffed with the best, straight out of the 1920's! There was a live pianist as entertainment, a gentleman with a long history of playing there!. And lastly, a five course dinner each perfectly paired with wine! First course: Sparkling Rosé paired with a focaccia bread and whipped butter with a side of garlic spread or tomato jelly. Second Course: A dry Red wine and the best salad I've ever tasted. It had squash, Brussels sprouts, chickpeas, and craisins, on arugula. Maybe some light oil and a sprinkle of salt... it was so light, fresh, and flavorful! Third course: Semi Dry wine. Shredded Brussels sprouts with bacon jam and a balsamic vinaigrette. Fourth: the same wine with the main course of Roasted duck, mashed potatoes and carrots Fifth: White wine paired with a deconstructed tiramisu! I don't even like tiramisu and I ate mine and half of someone else's. I don't think there was one thing put in front of me that I didn't like. The Penn Harris Hotel chef and staff really outdid themselves with this event. I cannot wait to see what the Historic Penn Harris has in store for us in the future!

The kiddos enjoyed the waffles. The staff has been friendly and helpful. For the first 4 nights of our stay it was fairly quiet, but I think that's just because there weren't many people staying near our room. The last two nights we realized that if someone is in the hallway it sounds like they're in the room with you, and you can hear the people above you and beside you moving around in their rooms. So it doesn't appear a lot of effort to soundproof was made. Another thing to note is that while they have laundry machines available for use in the hotel, they only take quarters. From the noise aspect alone we would probably choose to stay somewhere else, although with ear plugs it was manageable. The hotel is new and clean and bright, though, and was convenient located for us. We did appreciate a lot of the things within the room (the double blinds, the closet layout, the kitchenette and so on) but having rest disturbed by noise pollution is just not the best.
