    NASTY chair who would sit in this???
    Anita G.

    They SHOULD be CLOSED down. Look at their website and what you actually see are NOT the same place. I'm embarrassed!!!!! that I EVEN booked this room and the BS it's taking for me to get my money back is horrible!!!! Please just close DOWN!!! DONT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!!! They wouldn't have gotten one star I just had to rate a star to warn people not to go here!!!! THEY ALSO LIE!!!!! Went through booking.com and the idiot manager is saying we didn't ask for a refund, which we have a receipt from them, but stupid booking.com gave them their money now they won't refund it back and STUPID booking.com will only give us $30 back .... So don't use them either HORRIBLE PEOPLE!!! ALL FREAKING LIARS!!!!

    This hotel deserves a 0 star. The first red flag was crumbs and dirt on the floor. The lobby actually looks like it's falling apart. It stunk of cigarettes. If i'm not mistaken a hooker came down while we were checking it. The room was beyond disgusting. The safe didn't work. The phone was broken. There was stuff under the bed. Crumbs and shit in the window. There was poop shard on the toilet. Dirt everywhere. Quality Inn my ass!

    View from the first floor room. That's the river! Not bad.

    Sure the hallways and the lobby are a bit run down. But the location! Steps to downtown; no need for a designated driver for your night out. Great to step out of your room and jog or stroll on the riverfront on a lovely spring day. And, if you are lucky, you actually get a bit of a view from your room. And the other guests aren't bad. The Indian resto next door is also very good. Being on the second floor, facing the water would be ideal - on the first floor facing away from the water, the worst. Also, the price point makes the whole thing very palatable. The breakfasts aren't great but they are Ok. The place kinda grows on you. It's weird. My room was clean and undamaged; if it had been dirty or unkept (some other reviewers had such experiences) this review would have been much less sunny.

    Booked my room a month in advance to be told when I arrived that they just received my booking and that they were full. I booked a king bed room and was given what they had left which was a queen and probably cheaper but I didn't get reimbursed for any of my money. I asked about the price and got ignored I felt that since I'm young they felt they could take advantage of that. Claims to be 100% smoke free but smells of smoke. Dirty rooms, hole in bathroom celling, and our towels for the shower were oddly wet before use. Spend your money else where

    To be honest the only reason I give this motel 3 stars is because of the view and how close it was to the conference I was at. The room is small but comfortable. Everything was clean and the A/C was brand new. The rooms are updated but maybe a year or two ago and it is starting to show. They are updating utilities so don't be shocked to see exposed wires on the 2nd floor (where I stayed) there are contractors working there. It is a blue collar hotel. I saw a lot of road construction and state vehicles in the lot which is a good thing because they go to sleep early. The bed was a pillow top but a little firm which is fine for me but my girlfriend wasn't a fan. The room met everything I needed, a desk, a bed and a shower because I was there for about 9 hours a day. I didn't try the restaurant next door but did walk around the area. If your going to a Senators game you can walk there in about 10-15 minutes. The park across the street and along the river has plenty of people jogging and walking their dogs so it's not sketchy at all. If you just need a place to sleep and shower this is a great choice based on their normal rates compared to the rest of the places downtown. If I was visiting the area I would definitely have chosen a more comfortable hotel.

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.

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.

Throughout the suite, there was an old, musty smell that made our nostrils hurt as we tried to get some much needed shut-eye.

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.
