We go here every year (minus the COVID years) for an annual conference. Every year it just seems to be a little be more run down. Of course the price keeps going up. The Conference center is adequate. Though the temp is always very cold. The rooms on the other hand, have a very loud window type unit that comes on every half hour all through the night. When it is on the room is like a meat locker. When off an oven. The last two times the bed has been like sleeping on a board with a blanket on it. Unlike the years before where the mattress was bowed inward creating a taco effect. The one good thing I a can tell you is the bars and restaurants are top notch. Always a good meal and well made cocktails. We will continue to attend the conference every year, but will seek other accommodations. read more

I'll start by saying that this is a nice hotel. Staff seems friendly enough, good amenities, great location, and Hershey-themed decor throughout. My wife and I came for a wedding, and our rooms were booked through the block of rooms reserved for said wedding. The wedding was at 5:30pm, so we arrived to the hotel at 2 to make sure we had enough time to shower and get ready. When we arrived, our room wasn't ready yet. When I explained our situation (that I needed time to shower, shave, and get dressed), they told us they'd "move us to the top of the waiting list", but ultimately it didn't matter. They were unable to provide us with a room until 4pm. We ended up using the pool locker rooms to shower and dress for the wedding, and ultimately we missed the ceremony as it was 15 minutes away from the hotel. It blows my mind that a block of hotel rooms secured specifically for a wedding wouldn't be ready for check in until an hour and a half before the wedding. Completely unacceptable. Next time I'm in Hershey I'll get a significantly cheaper hotel that can provide a room with a reasonable check-in time. read more

If you are going to Hersey park I highly recommend this lodge the staff is great the restaurants are good room service available Early entrance to park with the shuttle which runs all day so u can ride till you need a break come back to room rest Then start again The coffee is fantastic don't know how they do it but yikes I'm a coffee fanatic and it met all my needs. There is a great water works inside that all the kids loved Mini golf. arts and crafts spas etc it's expensive but well worth it rain rain go away so let's play indoors and kids are having a ball besides pool side they love slushes and fries crazy kids but love this pkace read more

The fireplace in the lobby is very pretty. They tried their best to have different activities going in for kids. The pool needs serious updating and or a coat of paint. The restaurant fire and grain was really good and so many food options on site. Now the rooms are so expensive for a regular Motel room to include the classic musty smell. I expect more at $500 a night for a regular room. Maybe Mr. Hershey it the Hershey foundation should invest in the lodge a bit. read more

Planned our family trip down to Hershey we stayed at the lodge what a beautiful place full of activities for everyone the kids enjoyed in indoor water park it has enough rides to kids entertained. The staff was excellent always with a smile. read more

We stayed at the Hershey Lodge this weekend and I have both goods and bads to share about the hotel. GOOD- The hotel is fun and geared toward kids- chocolate-themed rooms, friendly staff, clean rooms, comfy beds. The Water Works indoor water park was perfect for our young son and the pools easily accommodate older kids/adults as well as very young toddlers. It's clean and small enough that you don't constantly worry where you child is. We loved this part! BAD- There was NO hot water. After we went swimming, we wanted to wash off and the water only got lukewarm (at best) for about 3 minutes. After 5pm on Saturday, there was not a drop of hot water. We couldn't shower that evening or the next morning. The bathroom floor is tiled (not laminate) which looks beautiful but HOLY COW is it cold. We actually had to wear flip flops in the bathroom to keep our feet from freezing. Because the tiles are so cold, the bathroom was just plain chilly. There was no hair dryer in the room even though the amenities on the website state that one will be in every room. Many of the vending machines were broken. They'll take your money, sure, but nothing comes out. My husband visited 3 different vending machine areas (all while spending more money each time) before he was able to get a beverage. The hotel is old, which means the walls are thin. All night long we heard toilets flushing, kids walking the halls, people talking etc. read more

My wife and were up there for a friend's wedding and it was beautiful!!! There was a lot of different places to eat and gift shops right in the lobby. We ordered breakfast in bed the one morning and marked it for 7-7:30am and sure enough right at 7am on the dot they were knocking on the door with our food. The Bear's Den was really cool to eat at if you like sports. They have the wall full of tv's and the food and drinks are pretty fairly priced. I would recommend this place for sure. read more

In Chocolatetown for dinner function at the lodge. Food was delicious! Tower room was comfortable and quiet. My companion did not like the bed. I had no problem. Would like to see a better bar situation in the lobby, or table service. Maybe 10 can be served comfortably. The set up for the Bears Den is not great hanging at their bar. Table service is not great. Drinks are expensive, not sure why. There is a large coffee restaurant that does not serve breakfast. So back to the Bears Den which is like eating in a hockey rink, bright, loud and uncomfortable. $11.50 for eggs and bacon and another $3.50 for coffee, nothing special here. Morning service :( not great. They pipe chocolate fragrance into the lobby. Large ballrooms, conference rooms and staff support. Parking can be far away from the room. read more

Do not waste your time, money or waste your valuable family Christmas time here. We have driven 4 hours and waited 2.5 hours for our room and it is still not ready. The woman at the front desk threatened to call security on me after I simply inquired about our room after she blamed housekeeping and marketing on why our rooms were not ready. STILL WAITING ON OUR SECOND ROOM. Thank you for ruing our Christmas Family time and our dad's only time off from work. Sad part is we have come here for years. NEVER AGAIN. UPDATE- got our second room over 30 minutes ago, thanks to housekeeping! Who was wonderful! Front desk never to this point has sent us text notifying us the room is ready. What a joke!!! Blaming housekeeping is such a shame and they should be ashamed of themselves especially since she claimed to be a manager. read more

We spent three nights here with my brother and his family last weekend. We arrived on Saturday night and left Tuesday morning. Most of our time was spent at Waterworks. I have a 3.5 year old nephew and a 22 month old niece. They were thrilled. My nephew kept calling the lodge "the chocolate hotel." So cute! When we arrived Saturday night, the kids immediately hit the pool. They had so much fun we were back in the pool again the following morning and again that evening . . . We hit the pool twice a day the whole trip. By Tuesday morning, I was ready to go, but not before one more trip to the pool!:) I think 2 nights is probably just right, three and the novelty starts to wear off. My nephew's favorite part seemed to be the kiddie pool. I think he liked that it was shallow enough that he could do everything without help. My niece really enjoyed the little slides. She's so independent and it was the sweetest thing to see how excited and proud of herself she was every time she reached the bottom:) There is a deeper pool for adults as well as a hot tub and a large slide. But that being said, I wouldn't call this a lodge for adults. Actually, I will flat out say IF YOU DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 10, STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! All of the children running around and screaming will get to you FAST!!! The hotel rooms are nice and themed. The bed linens and wallpaper are covered in Hershey's kisses. But, the hallways are loud. There are non stop children running and screaming and you can hear it right through the door. I was woken up a few times. Also, the doors to the rooms slam really hard (there's no way to stop them) and the toilets flush so loud and hard I thought I might get sucked in. Haha! You can hear this going on in other rooms as well. Thin walls!!! The lobby is really pretty. There is a four sided stone fireplace with tons of seating if you are looking to hang out. And since we visited around the holidays, it was decorated beautifully. Even the Christmas tree had chocolate ornaments. Too cute! Santa and Mrs Claus paid a visit as well as several costumed candy bars. I know it's hard to find things to do with children in the Winter. This lodge is a great option. At the end of our stay, my nephew didn't want to leave. read more

I've heard lots of wonderful things about the Hershey Lodge so I guess my expectation were fairly high coming in, especially given the nightly price. In the end, I was a bit disappointed but overall we did have an enjoyable stay. The lobby is really nice, especially the large fireplace in the middle. If you are lucky, you can grab one of the seats around the fireplace but those seats tend to go pretty quick! We were here the weekend before Thanksgiving and the place was already nicely decorated for the holidays. I would suggest doing express check-in ahead of time. Had we not done that, it would have been a wait as the line was pretty long for regular check-in. When you arrive, you have to park out front and then go inside to check-in. Then you will want to drive your car around and park closer to where your room is. The downside to this hotel is that it is quite sprawled out. We were unfortunately on one end of the complex and it was quite the walk just to get to the middle to get down to the lobby. And we have a child with a disability and while he can walk, he's slow so it often took us 5-7 minutes to walk from our room to the lobby. This is not really a fancy place by any means and it is really meant more for families. The hallways were sort of dark and there were portions that needed some attending to. Most rooms are accessed from the inside but we also saw rooms with outside access. In some ways it reminded me of an old apartment building and in other ways it reminded me of an office building. Aside from the lobby, I didn't exactly get the "lodge" feeling. The rooms are pretty basic but do come with a mini fridge and safe. The closet was very small and there was no luggage rack included. The bathroom door was always in the way of using the toilet or the shower. There is no lighting above the bath/shower and unfortunately they use a brown shower curtain, which made it even darker in the shower area. The top part of the shower curtain does allow light through though. My other complaint with the room was the lack of power near the bed. As someone with a CPAP machine, I need easy access to an available outlet. There is one, but it's behind the bed a bit. I also like to have my phone charging near the bed since I always use it as my alarm clock. This was not possible here. Don't expect to find any USB power ports in the room either. Housekeeping was just OK. The one day she didn't refill the spare toilet paper container and she left a wet towel in the shower on another day. Free WiFi is available but it's only good for checking email and browsing some sites. If you want to stream videos or do FaceTime, etc. then it's not so great for that, but for $10 a day you can upgrade and get more bandwidth. Pretty frustrating given the nightly rate already. There are quite a few restaurants within the hotel where you can grab breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Of the various places, our favorites were the Hershey Grill and Forebay. Earlier this year, they opened up their new "Water park", which is only available to Lodge guests. The pool area (and fitness center for that matter) was on the far other end of the hotel, so for us, quite the walk. Also, you do have to go outside to get to the building housing the pool and fitness center, which really stinks in the middle of winter! That said, the pool/water park was fun. You'll find zero entry pool areas, splash pads, little slides for young ones, plus two Twizzler slides for bigger kids. From a height perspective, you have to be a Reese to go on the Twizzler slides. Both are enclosed slides that start inside, go outside, and then come back inside at the end of the slides. Although they are fully enclosed, the one has enough light that you can see what's going on. The other slide is darker but still has some holes in it to allow some light to come in so it's not completely dark. They are both fun slides and I lost count as to how many times my boys went down the slides. There is also a larger pool area where you can swim around and they have a couple of basketball hoops if you want to play basketball in the pool. We spent about six hours there and my boys were wiped out by the end. The hotel does offer free shuttle service to the park and the shuttle seemed to come around every 20-30 minutes. If you don't want to utilize the shuttle, you can easily drive to the park and pay the $9 to park there. It would be nice if hotel guests got free parking similar to what Disney does. read more

Nothing short of disappointed. After years of coming to Hershey Park as a child, I decided it was time to make the same memories & take my own kids. We are currently staying at the Hershey Lodge and it is very disheartening to see how things have changed. A hotel designed for families, particularly with children has quite a lot of issues with accommodating groups with children. While waiting HOURS for our room to be ready we decided to grab food at the Hershey grill so we didn't have to leave the hotel. The staff was frazzled and didn't know how to accommodate us. We were a group of 10 adults and 4 children. The hostess had no problem voicing her frustration by letting us know "this is going to be ridiculous" where we then left and grabbed food else where. The driver of the bus that transports you to and from the park should need to enroll in a defensive driving course. After stopping short several times it's not wonder my nephew flew off the seat an smashed his head on the floor. Later we tried to grab dinner at Fire and Grain where the hostess' were nothing but rude and unaccomidating. We grabbed dinner around 8:30/9 with the kids which seemed to be a problem with the staff off the bat. I have a 9 month old son with disabilities who can not sit up without support and they put up a 45 min debate in why my stroller is not permitted inside the restaurant while clear as day you can count 3 that were already inside as I was told " it is a fire safety hazard". After informing the hostess that the bears den allowed me to have my carriage to accommodate my son for lunch her reply to me was "that's good". You could not be any less professional or flat out rude. The sweetest place on earth sure seems to be ran by the most miserable people on earth. My children are missing out on all of the great experiences I remember in my years coming and staying in Hershey resorts due to poor staffing and lack of consideration for paying customers. The hotel is by all means not cheap which is what you sign up for but I expect to atleast be respected as a human being, never-less a parent who is trying to give my children a nice vacation. This all was in the course of 1 day. We will see what tomorrow holds but it is not looking so "sweet" read more

So..I go to check out the Hershey Hotel..which is very elegant and organized. But..The Hershey Lodge...polar opposite. It was a mad house. Extremely noisy. Lines..lines..lines. They move at a snail pace when checking you in..even if you have already handled the majority of everything over the phone. It is WAAAY overpriced..and there are hidden fees everywhere. The rooms are poorly lit..and they pay no attention if you have the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. The curtains are weird..making difficult to cover the entire window. They were an hour and 37 minutes late on having our room ready. Ask to speak to a manager..he did nothing to resolve the problem..or did he offer any kind of anything. Hell..they didn't even remember to give us our complimentary Hershey Bars. The rooms are not all that..and I sure as hell cannot fathom why they are priced the way they are. Before booking the rooms..the people we spoke to on the phone were deceiving on the way they were presenting the rooms to us..but we had no idea of knowing this until we had already reached the Lodge in Hershey. Keep in mind..we drove from Indiana at the time. Also..it's not that close to the park..not as close as cheaper hotels..which is one of the things they lied to us about on the phone..stating "We are located next to the park". There was constantly trays with dishes on them in the hallways..from room service. It was obvious they were slacking on picking up the dishware and trash. The restaurant inside called "The Bears Den" in one of the upsides. They had really good food..and really friendly service..and the Hershey Bears Hockey Team makes up the theme. Pretty cool. All in all..if it wasn't for my 11 year old son..I would have bailed on this place. Very unprofessional..and a HUGE waste of money. This place alone really had a negative impact on our vacation. read more

We came to the convention center on Valentines Weekend for a convention hosted Family Life Ministries. The convention center was lovely and elegant with a beautiful and very large 4 sided fireplace. There were fresh water stations with water coolers and plastic cups to have at anytime. I like that way better than a fountain. Since it's in Hershey Pa, there were kisses n cups everywhere. The breakfast sandwich at the food court was okay, over priced n under heated but edible. The bathrooms were clean, but some stalls were out of paper mid way through the weekend. Overall a lovely place to attend a convention. read more

Hershey Lodge - Hotels Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights for a conference. Wow, what a hotel. I hate to give it 4 stars, because it really has everything you could need in a hotel, but it is just ridiculously overpriced for what you get. And to top it off I was charged an additional $100 PER NIGHT cleaning deposit. Of course I will get it back, but not until after my trip. This is only the second nice hotel I have stayed at that a deposit like that was required. I also booked the hotel through another party (obviously not the hotel's fault) and was not informed of the deposit, so I was definitely taken aback to be charged the additional $400 at check in. Luckily I had the money, but we probably won't stay here again next year. I stayed here because it would be convenient for our conference, but the hotel is so large that it was not convenient at all. In fact, it would have been more convenient to leave my room, grab my car, and drive to the front of the hotel. So if I'm going through all of that trouble, I may as well stay at the hotel next door, it's half the price. The rooms are nice, normal, but nice, but the walls are paper thin. People were yelling and screaming all night and all morning pretty much every day of our stay. And again, the behavior of the customers should not necessarily reflect the hotel itself, but for almost $200 a night I expected a little bit more. read more

So my first time this part of PA! After checking in, they handed us 2 whole sized Hershey chocolate bars! SUPER CUTE! The location to Hershey park from here was approx. 10mins! The lodge was cute how each floor was a different kind of Hershey candy, kisses, reeses, York peppermint patty, etc. Our room was spacious and bed was comfy. TV wasn't working properly, though. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. . . but minus the 3 stars for the service received- which was NONE! Let me elaborate, as I walked in the gift shop I was neither greeted or helped. . . the maid service was rude. I opted out of having our roomed cleaned the 2 days we were there, but already used up the travel sized shampoo provided in the room. I asked one of the maids if I may have another, she gave me attitude and made me sign on a piece a paper stating that I asked for another. REALLY?!?! Most hotels will just hand it to you without signing ANYTHING! It wasn't like I was asking for the whole cart. 2 stars for the location, candy bars and the comfy bed. read more

This place is overpriced and dirty. Our room smelled like two wet stray dogs stole a wet mop and in between the humping, dragged the wet mop throughout the room. The housekeeping never came so I called the front desk, the illiterate receptionist asked if I left a "Do not Disturb" tag on our door, I replied that our room didn't have one. The housekeeping came just before 6 PM. They have a new way of cleaning, they wear blindfolds and swing a wet mop around the room until everything smells like ass. You're better off sleeping in your car. Then there's this angry little housekeeper/ bar back guy. He hangs out by the lobby bar and talks under his breath when he walks by, it was really rude. One more thing, DO NOT EAT THE BREAKFAST AT THE LITTLE DELI!! It's just gross. read more

My friends and I stayed this week for a 2 night getaway. The hotel was beautiful when you walked in with the Christmas decorations. The room was big but needs updating. We were very disappointed in the customer service. When my friend and I arrived in the room we asked for 2 luggage racks because my friend has a bad back and didn't want to bend to get to her suitcase. They never arrived. We went to make a call and the phone in the room didn't work and then we realized the thermostat didn't work. We called the front desk and two gentlemen arrived They fixed the phone and had to put a new battery in the thermostat. Meanwhile, you heard the two guys talking figuring out how to fix the thermostat besides it needing a new battery. What a mess! The next day we went to the spa and had a nice experience. One of our friends came down with vertigo, therefore, the only thing she could do was rest. The next day when we had to check we asked for a later check out because our friend was still not well and needed time to get ready to leave. The front desk refused to do that. For the money we paid, the customer service is below par. Next time I would not stay there. There are better places out there with better service. read more

I came here for a conference over recently. It's a very nice space for meetings. By the time I knew I was going and looking for a hotel room, the rooms were full here so I stayed across/down the street at the Best Western. Their airport shuttle driver was nice enough to drop me off for a discounted rate, probably under the table. Many of the staff advise not walking across the busy highway, but I found it easy during daylight to walk along the shoulder against traffic and crossing near/at the streetlight leading to the Conference Center. As soon as you enter the lobby, the smell of chocolate envelopes your senses. Apparently, everyone gets a chocolate bar at check-in and is advised to return for more when you want. The lobby is welcoming with dark colors, plush seating and tables, and a fireplace. One colleague stayed at the Hershey Hotel and awoke to a real person who said this for her wake up call: "Good morning, Ms. Smith. The time is 7:30 and it's 55 degrees outside. Is there anything I can help you with before I go?" Apparently, you can request a "snooze" call, too, and a real person will call you again in about 15 min. Employees are friendly and stop to ask how they can help when you look confused. All the rooms have chocolate-related names so it gets confusing. During dinner, a colleague got hurt by a broken piece of china. The manager of the dining staff came over, checked on her, and returned with a 5 lb chocolate bar. Now that's service! I spent the remainder of the weekend trying to get hurt. read more

I stayed here for a night for a work function. The hotel grounds are pretty gorgeous and the lobby is wood-laden and striking. I found reception to be average but I didn't need much from them, so it's hard for me to judge accurately. Wireless access was a pain to get for some reason. I had to get some special password and that took three calls. Annoying to the traveling business person! The four-sided fireplace was excellent, but it is certainly an attraction and the seats surrounding it were taken every time I went down to the lobby. The room doors all had little plastic Hershey kisses on them...but, as other posters have stated, the place is a labyrinth! Super long corridors, confusing, candy-named sections, and a really poor set up. It was a hike to get from my room to the lobby. At least 6-7 minutes! The room was no different than a $90/night Holiday Inn. Junky bed, standard shower, small TV. I'd never stay on my own dime. For a work function it is passable, at best. read more

A lovely property. All of the activitiy offerings are family oriented (pool, tennis, basketball, WII game room,), so you should expect to see (gasp) children. This is not the place for one's drunken bachelorette party or an away from the kids weekend. Having said that, my husband and I (who don't have children) still had a wonderful time. Just be prepared for kids in the hallway outside your room at 9 am. The lobby is beautiful with a roaring firepit and chairs that make perfect photo opportunities. Upon check in, you get candy! There are five restaurants on the property, plus room service, so you can do as much or as littlle as you like. The rooms, like the lobby, are beautifully appointed and comfortable. I am a Disney fangirl. We stayed at the Polynesian in 2012 for our honeymoon. The rooms were aged and in desperate need of an upgrade. Our room here was twice as beautiful for half the price. Cons? The internet was a little wobbly. You can upgrade for ten bucks, but the Hershey IT guys need to consider an upgrade so everyone gets quality internet. We didn't eat at any of the restaurants...they seemed pricey, and we wanted to explore the town a bit anyway. It's a wonderful place. read more

We've never been to Hershey before so we took a chance w Hershey Lodge .. we were NOT disappointed.. from the moment we checked in (with ease! Room was available ahead of check in) friendly staff w great service and a smile!!! Our first night, we ate at Hershey Grill and the food was phenomenal!!! We had a cauliflower hummus, crab & corn chowder (excellent), vegetable risotto w seared scallops (was phenomenal) and grilled salmon dinner.. wonderful server (Angela) for breakfast we went to Fire & Grain (on premises also) was great and our server Kathy was a doll.. easy shuttle ride (thanks, Bruce!) less than ten min to Hershey!! The hotel, pool, room & halls were all spotless w friendly and courteous staff !! Ps: signature chocolate martini is a must have! read more

Recently took a trip with my family to Hershey! It's been years since we visited the park but we are so glad we did! I booked my room months ago due to a concert the same weekend. We arrived well before the check in time but the staff allowed us to do so prior to going to the park. Everyone was more than friendly and helpful. I was immediately impressed with the hotel and it's decor. A bus took us right to the park and was available when we were ready to head back. Our room, although not huge, was very nice, clean and close to everything. We ordered room service and it was delivered promptly and fresh. Please keep in mind that 18% is automatically included in your charge as well as a delivery charge. This was fine with us. The children's pizza is just a slice so if you are expecting a single pizza be warned that it's simply a slice. Portions are large. Enjoyed a drink at the hotel bar- pricey for a chocolate martini but well worth the cost! The hotel offered shuttle service to the concert and made it very easy for us to commute back and forth. Overall- a wonderful hotel- great service- and we will be back! read more

Noisiest hotel in the world. I've spent thousands of nights in hotels for business and pleasure travel. Booked a suite here for the weekend. Worst experience ever. Constant door slamming and kids running and screaming up and down the hall. Call to the front desk changed nothing. If you're coming here, find a motel 6. read more

We had a terrible experience! We paid $1500 for a room that was no bigger than an office space. The room smelled musty and there was bugs. They do not clean the rooms until you check out. There were no parking spaces available and we had to park way away from our room. The pictures on the website are very deceiving. I would definitely NOT recommend this place. read more

A chocolate themed hotel? Hey, now we're talkin'! Because this hotel is in Hershey and is affiliated with Hershey Park, everywhere you look the sweet stuff is well represented. I had to take a couple of units of insulin just entering the lobby! Six of us were doing an amusement park crawl of the Lancaster-Hershey-Elysburg areas and staying here just seemed like a natural. Anyway, the rooms here are done up in a chocolate theme. Everything from the decor to the artwork; from the lamp colors to the bolsters; from the duvet covers to the complimentary chocolate is done to remind you of just who built this town! Even he A&E Biography special on Milton Hershey plays 24/7 on the in-room movie system. That's not to say any of this is tacky. The rooms here are very elegantly appointed! The rooms here all come with your standard amenities: Coffee maker (a Susan D. necessity), refrigerator, flat screen TV, am-fm alarm clock, hair dryer, soaps & shampoos, ironing board & iron, etc. The Lodge also has a decent sized indoor pool, which came in handy the day it rained, plus two outdoor pools. Tip: try the outdoor pool with Ripples, an outdoor bar with poolside service. A couple of other tips too: get one of the Hershey Park packages like we did. Also to you DINKs (Dual Income No Kids--DINKs rock, BTW)--this hotel is teeming with little ones running around. read more

"A labrinth of sadness and agony," were my initial thoughts after two hours of staying at the Hershey Lodge. By far the most confusing building I have ever been in. I'm almost certain the architect was a four year old. While staying here, two friends and I went on an epic quest to investigate a claim of free quesadillas on Yik Yak. The mission did turn out successfully; however, what should have been a five minute journey, took us 45 minutes to complete. We seemingly found ourselves in a different Hershey chocolate wing every step of the way. The lobby is dope. The cafe is also sick af. Rooms are nice. The shampoo makes your hair smell like chocolate. Showers are stellar. Somewhat abrasive staff, but I would be too, working at the freeking Hershey Lodge. Had a good stay. P.S. Basketball court is constructed strangely, don't let that stop you from balling out and creating wonderful experiences. read more

I have came here before and it is an amazing place. It is relaxing and exciting. Except last time I came I was in the outside pool, and these 3 ducks kept coming inside the pool. They made everyone get out, but kept the ducks in. It made no sense. Then, the 3 ducks pooped in the water. Ew right? But all they did was try to scrape it out. But, the poop dissolved into the water and they didn't add more chlorine or chemicals to clean it. The ducks kept coming in the pool, and they wouldn't shoo them away. Argh it made us so irritated. We just went back inside to avoid any complications. Overall, Hershey is a great place. read more

See all

Overpriced (our discounted rate for a work seminar was $244 a night), and LOUD. Now, I know that most people go to Hershey with their families and these places are not intended to be quiet and relaxing. That being said though, this place was a little over the top in the loudness and wild children running around regard. The rooms were not that clean either. Parents were letting their children run around here like it was a playground at recess time. It was insane. The food options are extensive, but not many are good... I would recommend the Hershey Grill or the Forebay for a better experience. I got food poisoning from Lebby Lebkicher's (think I spelled that right) that was on site as well. Just be cautious of what you eat I guess. read more

Had an absolutely stellar one-night say at the Hershey Lodge. Arrived early and had lunch at the Bears Den on an NFL Sunday. Checked into the hotel around 4pm and made our way to our room on the 4th floor of the tower, which was exactly what we expected. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Took the shuttle to Hersheypark and transferred to the park tram to get to the Giant Center for a Hershey Bears hockey game. The shuttle was quick and really convenient and the driver extremely pleasant. Check-out was a breeze and the beanery for a coffee in the morning before we left was extremely satisfying. I don't think I'll ever stay anywhere else when in Hershey as long as the price remains reasonable. A+ read more

Stayed here for a convention, friendly staff, room was clean and comfortable. Complimentary passes to the Hersey garden and butterfly atrium, worth the time to check it out! Also complimentary passes to the Hersey story museum. The loge has great sitting areas to enjoy, not a far drive to all attractions outside of what they offer, the water works area looked like fun if you bring your children. I went to a convention so didn't have much time to enjoy all the extras. I would venture back. read more

See all

I've stayed here a handful of times over the last 10 years and it's one of the few hotels that updates its rooms, before they get run down. The service is always exceptional. The rooms are amazingly clean and the maids leave nice 'thank you' notes and Hershey Kisses! Front desk staff is great, friendly and they give you candy:) The room service was surprisingly tasty and fast. The breakfast at Lebbie's was delicious, hot and the eggs were noticeably fresh. The lobby bartenders were great and the the Forebay food was delicious- great service all around. The convention facility was very well run and the staff there was very friendly and helpful as well. Good service all the way around! read more

We live local and have been coming here several years during the winter months for 1 or 2 night get aways with the kids. We enjoy the waterpark and restaurants. This is the first time Hershey has disappointed. They were booked to capacity which I expected for the holiday weekend. But they just couldn't handle the crowd as a full service resort. I booked many months back and got the deluxe room we usually request and was happy with it as usual. The water park was packed but we expected it. However, the snack bar, cocoa cabana, had minimized its menu. I believe there were 3 options in most categories including rice crispy treats and chips. Awful. In the past we could eat our dinner there, chicken sandwiches, fingers, fries, etc.. and the draft beer ran out and they didn't have another keg. So we decided to cut the pool time short to get dinner at Bears Den... 2 hr wait. We got take out at the YP next door and ended our night. The room service breakfast was fine as usual. Sadly this will be our last visit here. We pay for a full service resort but this experience was more 2-3 star hotel. As for friends that joined us for the weekend... they requested to be near us... as far away as possible and couldn't check in until we'll after 5pm. And then the crappy amenities.... shame on you Hershey Lodge. Get it together. read more

A change in plans had me needing a last minute hotel room in the Hershey area before and after a concert at the stadium. I considered one of the budget chains but wanted something a little more special, and I thought it would be nice to get a little bit of Hershey magic (is that a thing?). I'll first say pricing for this hotel is pretty insane and that's why I can't give it more stars. The rate for a standard room for a single night was $429 when I first checked prices, and I just couldn't justify it. Luckily the price dropped at the very last minute and I was able to get a same-day price of about $300. The reservation process was easy and the agent was super friendly and helpful. Good customer service is always appreciated. The lobby area is cozy and charming with a very lodge-y feel, though it was almost jumping with activities, families zipping around, and just lots of activity. Hershey bars at check-in were a nice treat. The room was spacious and clean, and the candy theme was tastefully woven into different design details, toiletries, etc. The walls are very thin and we could hear more hallway noise than I would like in a pricey hotel. We didn't have much time to explore the amenities during our brief stay, but we had a very nice late dinner at the Bear's Den. Our waitress was so sweet and very attentive, and I appreciated that we didn't feel like a burden even though we arrived just about 30 minutes before closing. Breakfast at the coffee house was fine. We attempted to find the outdoor pool but gave up after spending 20 minutes in the labyrinth that is the main tower building (turns out the outdoor pool is fairly puny -- good for a quick dip but not much else). The hotel is actually not that close to the theme park property, but the free shuttle was very appreciated. We had bad weather and traffic situations during our short stay, and it was nice to have someone else do the driving. Overall it's a cute hotel with a bit of charm and a nice vacation-y vibe. Of the two official Hershey hotels it's definitely the most budget-friendly, but it's still way too overpriced to be considered a good value. read more

We had the most amazing time at Hershey Lodge this week. We got a package deal, so got to visit the park the night before (6:30p to 10p) which was amazing. They said you might have to wait 30-40 minutes for the shuttle to Hershey Park but we never waited more than 10-15 minutes. The Lodge was run so efficiently and it was so clean, but not cold and robotic (like you might expect Disney to be). We played mini golf and swam in the pool, which was clean and we took our chairs to a grassed area and sat under some trees. It was heaven. Our package also included breakfast at Lebbie's which was amazing. We were allowed to order off the menu. The Lancaster eggs sunny side up were some of the freshest eggs I have ever eaten. They were shockingly delicious. I figured the breakfast would be typical hotel breakfast but it was seriously one of the nicest hotel breakfasts we have ever had. The pancakes were also incredible, and each plate came with tiny blueberry muffins which were really good too. Our server was Richie and he did not treat us like we were second class guests just because we had the package. He was attentive and so friendly and kind. We just loved it at Lebbie's. Thanks to the Lodge, it was by far the nicest mini-vacation we ever had!!! read more

The lodge is a large hotel and convention venue. It's located across from the Hershey Medical Center. They have a bar/restaurant, as well as a large number of hotel rooms and a large conference center. The hotel is just OK. The rooms are a bit dated, but generally priced reasonably. Nothing fancy, but better than some of the economy options in the area. The conference center is adequate, and suitable for business conferences. read more

THE ROOMS STINK!!! The whole place smelled like cigarettes and the hospitality could not have been any lower. They attempted to charge me for cigarette smoke in the room ( I AM DEALTHY ALLERGIC TO SMOKE) Upon hearing that this could not be me, they were rude and extremely unprofessional. The rooms are small and outdated and the entire place is a bit dated to be frank. DO NOT GO DO NOT GO! read more

Great location, quiet. Biggest complaint- hair in our room service. I have short hair and while eating his burger my fiancé found a long blonde hair in his food. We called room service who said they would correct the mistake but they never did. Wouldn't stay there again. If you stay there, don't order room service! read more

This was a nice and friendly lodge to stay in while visiting Hershey Park. There is a shuttle that takes you to and from the park. We booked for a night during mother's day weekend and we got a great deal. The kids admission to the park were free, adult tickets reduced, and there were complimentary breakfast. We even were able to get in an hr early to the park ahead of the crowd. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean. There were 5 places to eat in the lodge and we only had breakfast. There food was good not great at Lebbie Lebkicher's. There was even a kids club/activities, but we did not utilize it. Overall a good value. read more
