Rounding up because the service was so great. We stayed for three nights during the late summer break and had a great time. The rooms were older but plenty comfortable and the overall hotel experience was satisfactory. A big minus was the shower/ although the water pressure was fine there was no way to have a stream that actually hit your body without it hitting the back of the shower and onto the floor in the bathroom. Made for spartan and less than stellar showers. Other than that the rooms were quiet enough and the restaurants were very good. Be careful though- signs are crazy non existent when you need them. You'll come up to an intersection and be left with a 50/50 guess which way to go. The elevator and the pool are probably only 100' apart but you need to go to the second floor and then forever and back to get to the water park. On the plus side, the restaurants had great food and the bartenders were friendly and hospitable. We were shocked how reasonable the prices were compared to home and served to remind us how much things ought to cost. Because it's part of the Hersheypark world, there is a shuttle that starts at 8am and goes through 9pm each day. Free of charge, it is a great savings over the daily parking fee you'd otherwise incur at the park. Staying at the lodge you'll get an early admission to the park as well- getting those roller coasters out of the way that normally get a big line. Super plus. Yes, for sure we'd come back or try one of the other affiliated hotels in the area. read more

I was at an all day (8AM until 4PM) work-related Forum on a stormy Tuesday in late July. Being familiar with the environs from numerous visits over several decades, I knew of a conveniently located place to park such that I only had to walk about 100 feet to the building entrance whichbwas fortunate as a heavy downpour arrived just as the forum was ending. Needless to say, Hershey was quite crowded and I can only imagine how it would have been during a weekend. The grounds are well-manicured, the indoors clean with numerous conveniently located restrooms. It paarars to me that the entire complex is handicap friendly. The staff all seemed friendly and security had a presence. The light breakdast and lunch buffets were quite tasty, and there was plenty of coffee and other beverages available. I thought it nice that each table had a small assortment of Hershey chocolates. My meeting was only one day, thus overnight accommodations were unnecessary, however my recollection is that the prices are rather steep. Overall, it was a pleasant meeting location and dining experience! read more

Overall nice place. I was surprised by just how big the whole place was! The pool area was nice, clean, stocked with fresh towels and had a great snack bar area. I can't speak to the rooms since we didn't stay overnight, but the coffee shop/ ice cream shop was nice but a bit understaffed for the crowd size there. I would consider staying here in the future. read more

My recent stay at Hershey Lodge had its highlights, but overall it could definitely use some updates to match the expectations of a resort-style experience. The rooms felt dated - particularly the bathroom, where the wallpaper was peeling and the bathtub showed its age. The overall décor could benefit from a refresh. Small touches would also make a difference; for example, swapping the chocolate bar welcome for liquid body wash instead of bar soap would feel more practical and modern. I stayed for a conference, and while the buffet food was decent, the desserts were the standout - especially the brownies, cookies, and flourless chocolate cake. Those were definitely a win. The waterpark was a lot of fun for the kids and a big highlight of the stay. That said, it would be great if both the waterpark and on-site restaurants had extended hours, especially on weekends, to better accommodate families. A few logistical frustrations stood out as well. The check-in line was extremely long, so be prepared to wait - it would be a huge improvement if they offered a virtual check-in option. Additionally, room service does not come during multi-day stays, which was disappointing. A simple refresh between days would go a long way in improving the guest experience. Overall, it's a pleasant place with family-friendly features, but it didn't quite live up to other resort experiences I've had. If your main focus is a waterpark getaway, you may want to consider Great Wolf Lodge as a comparison. read more

Stayed here for the first time when I attended the PETE&C conference. Excellent and friendly staff, chocolate everywhere, connected to a few restaurants, and well kept grounds throughout.

Hershey Lodge - Characters from Hershey Greeting Guest, even the bigger babies! - Hotels Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Dear Yelp, I was very nervous about staying here for a family vacation after reading many of the reviews. We had stayed at the Hotel Hershey years ago and LOVED IT so I was unsure how the Lodge would hold up. We had 3 rooms and arrived on a Sunday. Check in time is 4pm. Rooms were ready at 3:48pm, 4:20pm and 5pm. I thought that was ridiculous. Rooms should be ready at the time promised. We stayed in the Hershey tower and the rooms were updated, nice and clean. Bathrooms can use updating but it wasn't a big deal. There was a mini fridge which I appreciated. We used the water park which was perfect for our needs and the outdoor pool was nice. Lines are long for the shuttle to the park but it moves fast. We enjoy the free tickets to the Hershey Gardens and Museum. Rooms weren't serviced. We needed more towels and the front desk sent someone up within an hour. Honestly, everyone in my party enjoyed the place immensely. We would return. Love, Nicole read more

Ok I loved the Lodge before kids...I REALLY love it now that I have them. The people running Hershey clearly know what works for kids (and their parents). The indoor pool is large, including multiple fountains, water slides, and pools. And they have a decently sized arcade. Also the employees here deserve to be a shoutout for being some the most pleasant people on Earth. Disney has nothing on the people at Hershey. It is not a matter of if but when we will be back. read more

our stay was very disappointing. The entire hallway had a strong musty odor from the moment we arrived, which wasn't a great first impression. Our room was extremely humid to the point that everything felt damp--the sheets, the floor, and even our clothes felt wet the entire time we were there. The bathroom has no exhaust fan, so taking a shower only made the humidity worse. To make matters even more frustrating, the bath towels never fully dried because the room stayed so damp. Overall, the excessive humidity made the room feel uncomfortable and unpleasant, and it significantly impacted our stay. read more

Totally worth staying 2 nights here. We sadly did not get to do the hotel events since we spent most of the time at Hersheypark. Only complaint is that all the food at the on site "Fire & Grain" restaurant had stale food for breakfast, so go to Stacks for breakfast if you choose to eat out. Very worth it if you are with kids for a trip to Hershey, whether it's to the park or for the town. read more

The lodge itself is beautiful and so are the grounds. For the price I had a nice size room. They even give you a complimentary bar of chocolate upon check in. The room was nice, my only complaints were the bathroom needs updated odd area for the door, toilet, and shower. The other was the bed, it was a king size and soft enough the only issue was the mattress cover no fitted sheet but plastic under 2 top sheets. read more

We chose to come up and visit because we had never been to Hersheypark before. Rooms were clean and most of the staff were very courteous, but a little disappointing overall. The arcades are full of claw machines that were simply money wasters. Watched some children blow through some serious money and win nothing. Must be good revenue, but the way kids flocked to them it didn't seem fair. With the restaurants serving alcohol in the main lobby, had several instances where people were out and intoxicated and vomiting in the elevator. My wife told the guy at the front desk and he appeared annoyed that someone would have let him know there was an issue. I'm all for people having fun, but get drunk in your room. We don't want to see your drunkenness, especially with all of the young kids around. Had one instance of loud children coming down the hallway late at night around midnight screaming and making a racket. They sounded really young. It persisted until someone called security. Overall, a great stay, but not so sure the price point was worth it. I think we will do something different next round. There are plenty of hotels in the area that I am sure we could have done better. read more

I don't usually leave reviews and I'm not a confrontational person so I felt it's important to make this one. My daughter had bone cancer a couple years ago and we are still going through the medical complexities in her leg. We paid so much money to stay at Hershey lodge just to be treated with absolute disgust from the reservation receptionists. We asked several times when our room would be ready and each time we got a different response. "Check in is technically until 6 sooo" which is nowhere found on the website. The other was that our room is being cleaned now and then 2 hours went by and it still wasn't. I finally went back to the desk in tears after someone tried to steal our belongings as my husband took my daughter to the bathroom for her bloody nose. We felt like our whole trip felt ruined not just because of the room readiness situation .. but mostly because of their absolute lack of empathy or care about it all. Even as I'm telling them all of this in tears. I asked to speak to the supervisor and asked for some accommodations for this but the receptionist just ignored that part and kept going on about the room. I am too much of a push over to ask again. We will never come back here nor recommend the lodge to any foundation or person that works with the hospitals or other families dealing with cancer. Shame on you, Hershey Lodge. read more

What a supreme disappointment. For over 400$ a night you'd expect more than a 2 star motel. The rooms are on par with a motel 8 and in major need of renovations. I concur with the smelly and moldy reviews before me. The outside pool is a joke, it's TINY and located next to the parking lot like a budget apartment complex. The pictures make the indoor water park look spectacular but in reality it's just kind of sad and quite small. It's more suited to the under 5 set. Not to mention it's really hot and humid so if you enjoy sitting in a green house, you may like it. I feel like I've been scammed quite honestly. I could have had the same if not better experience at a Hampton Inn for less than half the price. There's no value here. It's far away from the park. The "amenities" are vastly inflated on the website. And the hotel itself is kinda gross. Shame on Hershey... read more

Let me start this with the fact that I'm not expecting anything other worldly in the middle of Pennsylvania. I know this is not an area of chic hotels and restaurants, but, when you have a $500 a night price tag; you better impress...especially in the middle of Pennsylvania. The lobby area is nice, it seems to be updated with a large fire place in the middle. The staff at the front desk were nice as well, but the wait was very long, about 25 minutes to check in what seemed to be 10 families. While my wife was waiting, my son and I walked around the hotel. While the front desk staff seemed to be on their game, several other employees walking through were not. We were either cut off or had to listen to several conversations with language that I certainly didn't want my five year old to hear. So, we went back to the front desk and waited. The good part about this hotel is that you can access the water park (not sure if it still should cost $500 but there's that). Our plan was to go to the room, change and head to the water park. The lodge has a motel feel to it. There are actually exterior entrances to rooms so maybe at one point it was a motel? If you're inside and walking through the corridors it is big, and long, and easy to get lost, so know where you are going. We got in our room and it was run down, clean, but run down and old looking. Once we were changed it was off to the water park. The water park is an indoor one which happened to be directly across from our room. Please note you do have to go outside to get to it, so in the winter it can be cold. There are several small slides, a few pools, a couple of large slides. There seemed to be enough employees keeping an eye on everyone. They also have a snack bar (with alcoholic beverages). At first glance it looks fine and for our five year old it was great. But as you start to look around you see the same run down appearance as the lodge. Much of the pool floors and other areas had large brown stains. It just feels old. I would not return, even for half price. There are far too many other options in the area to go here. For a kid, I'm sure it's great...but for the adults, not close. read more

Had a conference here and it was an enjoyable experience! The lobby was really pretty and a cozy place to hang out. Our room was spacious and the beds/pillows were very comfortable! Such a nice tough to give a bar of chocolate per guest at check in. My biggest concern was the bathrooms. They were outdated and had a moldy smell. Great place for a family trip or if you're visiting Hershey park read more

Don't. Just don't. If you want your child disappointed and to spend a wild amount of money to be treated poorly that is what you'll get. We were a first time stay. Did the upgrades. Talked to the reservation specialists made ALL the plans. Got there and after 4pm still couldn't check in. All my 7 year old wanted to do was go to the park. By the time they would have checked us in it would be bed time. Sunday schedule? 2 family things at the lodge. Check out time 11am on the inky day we could do the indoor water park? We even stayed Monday to make sure he could enjoy it! Kid check in meh... guess how many chocolates, no characters. Lodge wasn't even decorated all fun for the holiday. We left. Went to the Hilton paid for the same time at less then 1/2 the cost of one night at the lodge. The shuttle back & forth is not worth the heartbreak of my child. Birthdays are hard enough for children who have been orphaned. Hershey Lodge had us all in tears! this the the least family friendly thing ever. Shame on you Hershey. And don't even bother with the manager. He's literally a limp handshake and unsympathetic ear. read more

I can't believe the audacity that the Hershey Lodge has, charging almost $500 a night for motel 6 quality rooms. They trick you out with the website, landscaping, and beautiful hotel lobby. However as soon as we got to our room, it was old, smelly, and disgusting. We started our day at the water park before our room was ready. So when we were able to check in, I immediately took my kids into the tub. There was hair EVERYWHERE in the bathroom, it looked like it wasn't cleaned at all. In addition, a piece of the tub fell off not even 1 min of me using it. I immediately called the front desk to explain the situation. The women who answered didn't say anything other than "I'll transfer you to housekeeping". When I spoke to housekeeping, she told me she would send engineering out. Never addressed how dirty the room was. Luckily we were only spending 1 night there (and honestly just considered driving home after the park). Let me end my review with, I would never ever in a million years stay here again, or recommend anyone I know to stay here. They have not updated these rooms in what looks like 30 years, which wouldn't be a problem if they were clean. However to have old rooms and they are disgusting, for that price? I really don't know how they are in business. read more

Hershey Lodge - Kids pool area - Hotels Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Well where to begin, first off the rooms are very dated, filthy, and smell like mold. You could see at one point it was probably something 20 years ago now it's literally just motel quality for the price they charge. We came here for a weeklong event and got so sick on the food the first night that we were all glued to the toilet for the entire trip. I even looked it up on google and on I was poisoned.com and I found out that we weren't the only ones getting sick. Its seems that everyone that eats in the hotel end up with a bad stomach bug even those with cast iron guts. We waited an hour for room service to bring more toilet paper and towels, and beyond that, when I called the front desk about it the woman gives me attitude and said well actually sir you only called 46 minutes ago, um lady our guts were literally melting. 46 mins, 60 mins, who cares, thats still wayyyy too long to wait for supplies. We also had drunk people screaming out in the hallways at each other very late at night waking us up. Kids in wet bathing suits screaming and crying and families absolutely everywhere mixed with together with suited conference goers, it was insane. We will never be back again, this truly was a trip from hell and management did nothing to help accommodate. Very disappointing. Seriously do yourself a favor and stay far away if you can! read more

Not great. It's like a motel. You park right outside your door. Mostly nice but misleading pics on the web site made it seem like a hotel not a motel. I did not enjoy hearing people unload their cars, honk the horn and talk right outside my door. The room was clean and bed wasn't bad. But I prefer not opening to a parking lot. read more

Stayed here for two nights for a conference held on site. I really went back and forth whether to give this place two stars or three stars. I'll break down the good, bad, and the ugly below: The good: - Location - Conveniently located to all the main attractions in the area - Easy check in - Plus you get a full sized Hershey bar! - The Lobby - plain and simple the lobby is gorgeous and smells like chocolate - On property restaurants - I appreciated the convenience of restaurants on site - Shuttle service - Super friendly guest services staff - Gift shop and ice cream parlor on site... sure they're gimmicky, but they're nice additions - On site indoor/outdoor swimming options - I didn't use any of these facilities but I liked that they were available The Bad - Parking - I consider myself lucky that where I parked wasn't too far from the entrance I used to get to my room, but when this place is full, I'm certain parking would be a nightmare - Layout - this place is quite literally a maze. Granted, there is (much needed) signage everywhere, but I definitely used all the signage to guide me... and I got a little confused once. - Thin walls - Yes the walls are thin, and yes there's A LOT of kids - Dated Room decor - The room itself was fine, but the decor is definitely dated - Beds - I found the bed to be quite firm. Not totally uncomfortable, but absolutely firm. The Ugly - Price - I'm sorry but this hotel is simply NOT worth the price. Even with all the conveniences this place offers, the rates are outrageous. However, tourists will pay, so they're going to keep the rates high. - No daily housekeeping - Don't expect housekeeping during your stay. They'll only replace towels as you need them. - Bathroom - the bathroom in my room was a hot mess. The door was clearly painted multiple times and had rusty hinges. When opening the door, it comes within an inch or two of the toilet. - Shower - the grout between the shower tiles is NOT sealed. When that grout is wet, it transfers. - Dusty Room - I found noticeable dust on the night stand and desk lamp. Inexcusable considering the the price. read more

I am a fan of the Hershey collection of hotels! I was at the Hershey Lodge because I had a work conference. I usually stay at the Hotel Hershey..but because my organization booked the ballrooms at the Hershey Lodge- I decided to stay at the Lodge! The lodger is adequate, but is a step down from the Hershey Hotel! It gave me 'motel vibes'? The room was clean and spacious, but i didn't feel it had that special touch of next level..it left me feeling like....Meh I stayed (2) nights! The hotel is centrally located near the Tanger Shopping Outlet; Breweries and other local eateries! I would recommend if you want to be in the center of all the chocolate goodness that Hershey, PA has to offer! read more

This place is way overpriced. The beds have plastic mattress pads like you use in a baby crib for bed wetters. Soooo gross. It makes me wonder why my beds are covered in plastic. What happened in them?? The plastic pad is covered by a thin flat sheet that keeps coming untucked and exposing the plastic. It sounds like a baby diaper under you. It also makes you sweat since it doesn't breathe. I will no longer be staying here. The prices are outrageous and the rooms are very dated. Popcorn ceilings with stains, really old cheap tile on the walls in the bathroom. Stains on the covers. Not good. read more

They need to renovate the rooms because they smell and are old and moldy. You can smell it when you walk in the room. I am allergic to mold and I couldn't even stay 2 nights. I was sneezing and had a runny nose while I was in the room. I had to check out at 2 a.m. When I told the lady why I was leaving...she didn't say anything about the fact that I said I couldn't stay there because its moldy and it made my allergies bad. This place is like a maze, the parking is terrible and it is definitely NOT worth the price. I will never go back. We stayed in the Reeses section "I". read more

It's just okay, we went on an off-time last year and it was wonderful but a lot of attractions and things were closed so it was a bit of a bummer. We went again during a peak weekend this year and it was very loud and crowded, but everything was open. Food was worse, notably so, than last year, but prices were higher. The rooms were worse as well, we stayed at the Reese's side last year and it was clean and nice, this year was the Hershey Tower and I will never stay there again, it was older, unclean, and poorly maintained. There wasn't a huge wait for things so that was good, but it was VERY CLEAR that the staff were overworked and overwhelmed due to cost cutting methods. Management is completely absent, nobody seems to be running the show on the floor just saying "do more with less" and then walking away. I think I will try it one more time, off peak again, to see if it's worth it and then if not, we will explore other types of places like this. I have attached pics of our room's bathroom, it was moldy, vents haven't been cleaned in YEARS, and bathtub had surface scum. I mean this is only what you can see, think about the mold you cannot see under the rugs or walls? Oh the water park is actually the highlight, there are ample lifeguards doing their jobs and they are managed well, so it was a positive experience in the well managed pool area. read more

We recently spent a few days at Hershey Lodge, and I can't recommend it enough--especially if you're looking for a quick, family-friendly staycation that delivers on comfort, fun, and food! Resort Features: From the moment we checked in, the Hershey Lodge offered a warm, welcoming vibe. The rustic, chocolate-themed decor gave everything a cozy, playful charm. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The resort is packed with amenities: indoor and outdoor pools, arcade games, a fitness center, and a spacious lobby with a roaring fireplace that feels like the perfect spot to unwind with a hot cocoa (yes, complimentary chocolate at check-in is a real thing!). The indoor water area, Hershey's Water Works, was a huge hit--especially for the kids. Waterslides, splash zones, and a zero-entry pool kept them entertained for hours, rain or shine. Hersheypark Access: One of the best perks of staying here is how convenient it is to Hersheypark. Guests get early access and complimentary shuttle service, which is a game-changer for avoiding the parking chaos. The park itself is bursting with rides for all ages, live entertainment, and of course, chocolate-themed everything. Whether you're a roller coaster enthusiast or just in it for the sweets, Hersheypark is a blast. Dining at Revelry: We dined at Revelry, the Lodge's upscale yet relaxed steakhouse, and it was a standout experience. I'm still thinking about their Caesar salad--fresh, crisp, and perfectly dressed. And the house-fired potato chips were absolutely addictive: warm, crisp, and seasoned just right. The atmosphere at Revelry strikes a nice balance between refined and kid-friendly, which made it enjoyable for our whole family. Kid-Friendly & Staycation-Worthy: What really sets Hershey Lodge apart is how kid-friendly it is without compromising quality or relaxation for adults. From chocolate-themed activities and character meet-and-greets to the daily s'mores nights and cozy game areas, it's designed with families in mind. It truly felt like a getaway without the hassle of going far--a perfect staycation. read more

Stayed here in Dec 2025 with many family members for the advertised Christmas experience. Very expensive and not much included for the price. Water park is nice and rooms are fairly clean but rooms definitely need updating. Restaurants in the hotel have limited menus and very expensive. Bought tickets for Hershey Park which was a complete waste of money and complete rip off. Most rides were closed and if you wanted to participate in anything other than the rides, there was an added charge. Crazy, crazy expensive and def not worth the price. read more

Dear Hershey Lodge Team, I stayed at the Hershey Lodge for the first time this past weekend. Growing up, my family visited Hershey every year, but we could never afford to stay at the Lodge. This trip was especially meaningful because my sister recently had her first child, and we were excited to finally make that full-circle family visit and stay at what's considered the "cream of the crop" of Hershey accommodations. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations. Upon arrival, our room had a strong odor of cigarette smoke and mold. The bathroom toilet seat and lid had a pink, tar-like residue that we had to clean ourselves with baby wipes. The overall condition of the room and hallways appeared unkept and dated. The wallpaper was peeling off of our walls, you wouldn't know you were staying at a Hershey park property unless you saw one of the characters in the lobby. We were also disappointed to find that most restaurants and bars followed the park schedule, leaving only the coffee shop open during non park hours. This made it nearly impossible to enjoy any on-site dining or drinks without sacrificing park time. Additionally, staff members were unable to provide clear information about the shuttles, which did not appear to run on the promised 30-minute schedule. Getting to and from the park often required calling Ubers. And we wasted so much time our first day because staff told us shuttles picked up in one area which ended up being false, then we waited again in the right areas for 40 minutes without a single shuttle. No one could give us information on where they would pick you up at the park to bring you back either. Half the reason we stayed here was because we thought it was a close and convenient ride to and from the park that was included in our package which was expensive. This turned out to be a nightmare... we ended up using Ubers both ways day 1 and having to pay for preferred parking for 120$ on 2 cars the next day because of how difficult and frustrating it became. You shouldn't advertise easy and quick shuttle service if it isn't true. I do want to acknowledge a positive, Grace, Andrew, Dan, and Maleek at the Bear Den Restaurant were exceptionally kind and helpful. They truly went above and beyond to assist us with shuttle information and general tips. However, despite their efforts, the overall experience was extremely disappointing given the price and reputation of the Lodge. For the cost of our stay, the value and services we were promised were far below expectations. Based on this experience, I would not consider returning to the Hershey Lodge and would advise others visiting Hershey to look into alternative accommodations such as nearby hotels or Airbnbs, which would likely offer a more comfortable stay. I really would love to talk to someone about this and am looking forward to hearing back from your team. read more

The weak part if this hotel is the room. The lobby is spacious and beautiful. The restaurants and bars are nice. Staff is friendly and helpful. I wish I remembered the name of the woman at the check in desk (blond, in her thirties and at the desk on 12/12/24 and then again on 12/14.). She is an asset to the establishment. The room we stayed at had no closet! A little cubby to hang shirts up but too small to even hang a coat! One chair and no table in the room. Keeps this place from being a 5 star hotel. Real rating is 3.5 stars. read more

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend conference. Check in was painless. Considering the number of people checking in, the line moved rather quickly. The lobby has a warm and rustic ski lodge vibe with a large fireplace and plenty of seating. We sat in the lobby several times and enjoyed our coffee from the Cocoa Beanery. Our room was spacious and clean. The double vanities were very convenient. As a person who is always cold, I appreciated how well the heat worked in the room. Bed and pillows were exceedingly comfortable. They have several restaurants in the hotel ranging from casual to upscale. As I mentioned before, there is a coffee and sweet shop which has fantastic ice cream. The fitness center has more than enough equipment to get a great workout. Everything is in good working condition. We took a quick peek at the pool. It looked clean and well staffed. The staff was wonderful; friendly and very efficient. We would definitely stay here again. read more

I've been to the Hershey Lodge and to the Hotel Hershey before. I have to say this was the most disappointing visit for my family. It seems like they've done absolutely no upkeep in the hotel. As you walk through the hallways, you can't help but notice odors- is it diapers or body odor, could it be spoiled milk? It's really disgusting. Then the rooms- the same decorations from 10+ years ago. There are no fans in the bathroom and get ready to hear your neighbor's conversation because the walls are paper thin. I recently visited a hotel that had sound machines because it was located on a main street. Hershey should take note! Also upsetting was having to call maintenance 3 times for a backed up tub/shower. It was actually backed up when we checked in and happened repeatedly during our short, two-night stay. While they offered to move us on the 2nd night, we had three rooms for our party on that floor and felt like it was such a hassle to have to move. At the prices they charge, seems like they should do a better job of upkeep/upgrading. read more

We've been staying at the Hershey Lodge for a 3 night stay with two days in the park for 11 years. In this time I feel like the quality of the lodge has slipped while the prices continue to steadily increase. The rooms have been updated once in that time. The rooms are only cleaned upon request which is annoying for the price you are paying per night. I did call down for towels and they were brought up promptly. Year after year the problem comes down to confusion with charges on our bill. We are a large party but have separate rooms booked with separate Credit Cards on file, but year after year there are issues with charges on our rooms. For example checking out today I had a charge for the "free breakfast" for an odd amount of 34.07, when I questioned it I do not kid you we waited 1 HOUR for help, the front desk manager popped his head out at one point never came to help Us and then seemed to purposely disappear. Whoever was the lodge manager on 7/23 AM was absolutely useless. You pay a lot for your rooms here but the quality and hospitality is just lacking. It would also be nice if they at least had some stuff for teens, the basketball courts (which have lights) are locked at like 7pm. The inside pool in summer months should stay open until 10 in my opinion. read more

Stayed overnight after visiting the park. Clean and the people are nice. Rooms were clean there were plenty of food choices. Overall the experience was just good. Not much to complain about with the cleanliness and service. Understand the price is high since it was peak Fall season. Overall good and may visit again. read more

This place was a money grabbing , $435 for a night at this place they was no better than a best western, I felt ripped off, staying here was a big regret, we booked 2 rooms for 2 nights and the final cost was $2100 dollars, the restaurant food was gross, the server was not friendly at all, all in all's it was a really awful experience, save yourself some money and stay at as hotel down the street. read more

For 20 years, I've wanted to stay at the Hershey Lodge, and I finally was able to Thanks to my sister last night. For the $650/night price, which was steep to begin with, I wouldn't recommend the Lodge if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway. THE ENTIRE TIME... screaming kids, kids running the halls, parents playing with their kids in the hall and banging on the door and yelling through hotel room doors into late hours of the night. When next door used their shower, it was so loud through the walls. Parking sucks! I had to wait 20 minutes just to get a parking space in our side of the building. The rooms are very hard to get to. We got frustrated so many times. The rooms are smaller than they look in pictures, but they have great plug outlet options on both sides of the bed. Best part was how comfy the bed was. I definitely loved the bed-sized roll pillow against my neck. The water in our room had a gas smell. The Bears Den had great food and friendly staff. All of the staff members in the lodge were a pleasure to talk to and more than happy to help. In conclusion... Definitely not worth the price. read more
