I went to a fun and fancy event at the Penn Harris Hotel recently. It was beyond cool. I enjoy an…read moreovernight stay here every year when I attend the PA Wounded Warrior Gala and I've always enjoyed the food and the accommodations but to experience the Penn Harris like this was extra special. 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!

Several things to know before your stay. 1. There is no elevator, so you will have to haul your own…read moreluggage up a flight of stairs to get to your room. Pack light. 2. 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 am not sure what that means unless it is the average number out of a 5 star review. In which case I would not be bragging. There are other hotels nearby. I would seriously consider one of these instead.

Hotel is decent, it's affordable but the breakfast was a little lacking imo. Not a lot of options…read morealthough they had a very cute small waffle maker selection with red velvet mix which I haven't seen in a hotel before so that was cute. Sound proof? Yes. Did not hear a peep from the room next door. Had pretty good sleep, bed was comfy.

I would come back and stay again.

We thought the kids would like that and they would be out of the heat. Employees were very friendly at check-in. Room was clean and had everything we needed. The kids were so excited to use the pool and as they were walking down with my daughter, another family was coming up and said don't bother the pool is closed. Somebody's kid went to the bathroom in the pool. So that idea was out. Definitely not the fault of the hotel. Breakfast wasn't bad, I was happy with all the toppings for the oatmeal. *The next day in late afternoon, the pool was back up and running. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

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.

Could the Crown Plaza Hotel in Harrisburg be worse? Yes, it could. There were no visible rodents or…read moreinsects. Fingers crossed that I don't get bed bugs. 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.

My son and daughter-in-law picked this hotel for guests coming to their wedding reception. They have a nice outdoor courtyard at the back of the hotel which we enjoyed on Friday evening. We also enjoyed the sitting area behind the lobby to catch up with friends and family. The staff we interacted with were fantastic and helped making sure we had everything set up for a catered brunch in the newly renovated meeting room. We even got late check outs for our room and the bride & grooms rooms! I would definitely recommend this hotel!

First let me say- staff was friendly and generally accommodating and helpful. They are remodeling -…read moreso trying to be considerate of that. However- the TVs are place in a way that comfortably you can not watch from the bed. Beds and pillows were more uncomfortable than typical Marriott I have stayed at. Bed is also situated in way that if you are sleeping close to the wall- makes hard to get out of the bed without crawling off the end or waiting for the other person to get up. (Too close to wall). Pull out couch in the room- but like typical hotels with this feature - there were no extra blankets/sheets or pillows. When asked for refresh things- had to ask a few times to get things like toilet paper and towels. Our last night kids were running up and down hallway knocking on doors and running away- this was not the hotels fault- but went in for couple hours and disruptive.

Bagels were not fresh. Eggs were watery. Sausage cold and tasted funny. Not sure if what they were serving was oatmeal but didn't look appealing or smell good at all. Dog friendly hotel.
