Great! Clean, heating and AC works, hot water immediately, and comes with a huge fridge and microwave (that works). The only downside is that the WiFi does not connect to Mac Laptops- other laptops are fine, and any type of tablet and phone will work, but consider staying elsewhere if you need to do work during your stay. read more

This is now called Hersheyscape Inn and no longer affiliated with Econo Lodge. The front desk clerks were all very friendly and made you feel welcomed. The room was larger than I expected and had multiple 'little' things you wouldn't expect at at low cost hotel (iron and board, laundry bag, bar soap, lamps with outlets, etc.). Next door to a great BBQ restaurant. Only 7 minute drive to Hershey Park. We only stayed one night and would encourage others to use this hotel. read more

This hotel is a nightmare. I told the front desk clerk about the problems in my bathroom the first morning I was there and she made notes. When I returned after a day at Hershey Park, the problems were still not resolved. It turns out the manager was never informed about my issues! There was soap left from the previous guest in the shower. Behind the bathroom door was a collection of hair. I didn't have a tv remote. My hair dryer was full of dust. When I was finally able to speak to the manager, another guest chimed in that his room was also filthy. Another mentioned needing to switch rooms. Why bother if they are all disgusting? I offered to show the manager my pictures and she said she didn't need to see them. This tells you how often these complaints happen. I am still waiting for this to be resolved. read more

Front desk people are lovely made us feel very welcomed. Outside of the hotel could use some work but the room is very clean. Hotel is also close to Stores, restaurant and right down the road from Hershey park. read more

This is a budget friendly hotel you should not have qualms about booking. Rooms are clean & look to be recently remodeled. King room was large, bed & pillows were both comfy. Heat worked fine. WiFi was free & worked fine. Tv was large & there is also a microwave & fridge. You will hear street noise being it is an outdoor corridor hotel. It is pet friendly with advance notice & rooms have hardwood-look laminate flooring in place of carpet. Sink is located outside of toilet & shower so someone can be getting ready & use hairdryer while someone else showers. Check in was quick & friendly. Parking is right outside door/stairs so not far to walk with luggage. Lobby & breakfast room are very tiny but there is an elevator in there too. Free breakfast with coffee, juice, tea, bananas, yogurt, toast, bagels, muffins & waffle maker. Hotel is close to all Hershey has to offer. For the price I recommend it. read more

The price was pretty decent so I took a chance & booked a room. We were going to Hershey & only needed to stay for one night. I must admit the outside of the building concerned me. It could certainly use an upgrade. The girl at the front desk was super nice. The room didn't have carpet & that was a bonus for me. It was clean with the exception of the baseboards needing a good wipe down. Other than that, it was overall a pretty nice room. I would recommend it if you're going to Hershey. We weren't too far from Troegs Brewery which was also a bonus. We didn't take advantage of the free breakfast but it looked like there were a decent amount of people in the back room when I was dropping my key off at the desk upon checkout. read more

a very nice hotel, lobby is tiny but the rooms are nice and clean, television and wifi both work no issues and the staff was very nice. my only speed bump is the size of the breakfast room. its very very small. the seating area is about 10 x 10 and its incredibly packed in the morning with everyone lining up to use the one waffle maker so the line either bleeds into the seating area or blocks access to the rest of the food that's there. if there's any project they have to do its expanding that room. read more

Booked the room through Hotels.com. The room rate was in the mid $60's so I wasn't exactly expecting anything. I was quite surprised to have a very large, clean room with 2 queen sized beds, a nice flat screen TV, free WiFi. The front desk clerk was quite pleasant and friendly. The only problem I had was the room was not carpeted, more like a faux tile which was very cold getting out of bed! BRING YOUR SLIPPERS! read more

I stayed at this Econo Lodge for four nights a few weeks ago. The hotel is (obviously) a budget choice, and the price was certainly good. The room had two queen beds. It's somewhat dated and worn, but not overly so. The TV was the old "CRT/Tube" type, and the remote didn't work very well. The beds are not great, but not horrible...they're a bit thin, and old, and could definitely use an update. The bathroom was very old, and the toilet seat was coming off the toilet. There's no closet, only a rack on the wall...which promptly fell off the wall when I hung my clothing on it. I called the front desk, and they said it'b be fixed the next day. I was able to prop up the side that had disconnected with the ironing board, placed atop a roll of toilet paper...perfect height to prop it up. It was fixed the last day I was there. The housekeeping was not great; the toilet rim was filthy when I arrived...it clearly hadn't been cleaned. The rest of the housekeeping was passable at best, but there were stains on the run, dust, etc. They do have a continental breakfast each morning, which is very basic, but it's there. They also have coffee 24x7, and a coffee maker and supplies in the room. So, not great, even for a budget hotel, but if you need a cheap hotel near the medical center and park attractions, it's...there. read more

Not very updated or clean, but then again you get what you pay for...room was "non-smoking" however there was the smell of smoke throughout the room. The check-in person was very nice. This is not a hotel, but a Motel. For people traveling with pets, they do accept them. I personally would not stay again, due to the smokey smell in a non-smoking room, there was hair in one of the beds, and mold in the bathroom. read more

This was my second stay at this hotel. Recently renovated fresh clean rooms. Easy check in check out. Close to everything. 3 restaurants you can walk to. Super friendly staff! read more

Nothing particularly outstanding about this place BUT I will say the wifi was excellent. Able to watch the entire Presidential debate on live stream and that's saying something because I've had issues with that on home wifi sometimes. I believe they call it a full continental breakfast here at Econo Lodge. The breakfast on the other hand was highly, highly disappointing. I'm not looking forward to it tomorrow morning. Only two slices of cold bacon were left. The French toast was awful. The bagels were ok and orange juice was fine. I would lean toward three stars but there's no 3.5 so I rounded up. I previously graded a hotel harshly for lack of wifi and this one has excellent connection so there's that. One final issue I had was one of the beds in the room was straight up broken. Like completely caved in. Good thing i only needed one bed (Priceline booked two beds for me, no problem there) and one was pretty solid. read more

Rooms are modern, large, and clean. Staff is excellent and very very pleasant. Prices are obviously excellent and it's right across the street from Penn State Medical Center. read more

We last minute booked for the weekend and were nervous about this hotel because the price was so affordable. We got there and the rooms were very clean, stocked well with towels, a microwave, fridge, and plenty of pillows. For what we paid I am absolutely happy. If I had one criticism it would be that we had a room facing the street and the traffic was noticeably loud in the morning. There isn't much that could be done about that. read more

I booked here as I needed a low-cost hotel for an overnight stay due to attending a convention a few miles down the road. Used AAA discount. First, this isn't really a hotel, it's essentially a motel, and blends into the surrounding a little too well. Parking is under the structure, and surrounding lots aren't for this location as it appears. The lady checking me in seemed uncertain at times about the process and activating keys. Room at first looked ok, but some problems appeared. The location is out of date and at points show's its age. I had a room with two beds as it was the cheapest, went to get in the one bed, and underneath you could see the comforter was stained, and hair was all over the sheets. I slept in the other bed which was clean. The bathroom while clean was starting to yellow. The free continental breakfast is pasteries, instant Oatmeal, juice and coffee inside the check in lobby. Honestly, glad I was in the room for less than 10 hours, as it should have probably been $10 cheaper, and I'm going to look for a better hotel to stay at next time. read more

Minutes from hospital, food and gas. Clean and warm room with a polite staff. Call for Hospital rates. Everything you need for that unexpected stay! GM Sherri very nice! read more

This hotel is at a great location if you are going to Hershey Park of Hersheypark stadium. I was a little hesitant to book here since i have never stayed at an Econo Lodge, but the room was updated and clean. Beds were comfortable and rooms had an iron, microwave, and mini fridge which was nice. Only turn offs were the outside building looks like a cheap motel, and the main lobby was small, smelly, and needed improvement. Other than that, was perfect for a one night stay. read more

My young daughter & I needed a room, a clean and comfortable room, to spend the night prior to an important doctor's appointment. This hotel met my expectations -- it was inexpensive, a two-minute's drive to Hershey Med Center, clean, and comfortable. The Econo Lodge is not fancy, but we didn't need fancy. We needed clean and comfortable, which is exactly what we got. We would certainly stay here again if we ever needed overnight accommodations again. A bonus: much of the parking is located underneath the hotel so I didn't have to clean snow & ice off of my car in the morning! read more

I was recently in Hershey for a seminar and this was one of the only "dog" friendly motels that I could find. After reading some of the older reviews, I was not sure what to expect. Well, I'm glad we stayed here. The rooms were recently remodeled and very clean. Nothing fancy but I wasn't expecting fancy at an Econo Lodge. We couldn't find Lucy Ave. and phoned the motel. Kira was super helpful and offered to stay on the phone with me to guide us in. Her directions were so good, that it was a breeze to find. They provided a free continental breakfast with the stay, while other more expensive hotels do not. If you're looking for a clean place to stay at a reasonable price, give it a try. read more

Great hotel for the price! Clean updated room close to Hershey park. My only complaint is we could hear the people (and their children) above us running around and jumping up and down at 10 at night. Sounded like they were going to come through the ceiling at one point. Thankfully the kind woman at the desk (I wish I got her name) listened to my complaint and offered to speak with them so we could get some sleep. Besides that everything was great! read more

DON'T STAY HERE!!!! I will start by saying that the room was recently renovated and was very tastefully done. Kira is great, Nick the GM is amazing. Basic free breakfast was good. However..... I travel with my service dog. I was put in a pet room which suited me just fine. I was traveling to Hershey for my son's birthday. So I woke up the first morning to take the dog out and start decorating. I was approached by a male housekeeper at about 8 a.m. asking if I wanted room cleaning service that day. I said yes, but all 3 of my kids were still asleep so could he come later in the morning. He rolled his eyes at me, but said ok. Meanwhile my service dog is literally watching for the elevator and wagging his tail. The man seemed afraid of him, so I nicely said he was friendly and wouldn't hurt him. He didn't seem convinced, but whatever. I get people can be afraid of dogs....even service dogs. As I was getting on the elevator, I overheard him say "I hate dogs." His coworker giggled even though she had just been smiling at the dog and me. This upset me as my dog means a lot to me. And if you work in a hotel that allows dogs, you should be much more professional than that. I was almost in tears by the time I reached the lobby (which is as bare and sterile as a mechanic shop office). I wanted to speak to a manager. I waited about 5 minutes and the same young girl came down. She jumped when she saw my dog as if he was snapping and growling even though she had shown no fear 5 minutes prior. In hindsight I figured it was a show for the other guests there. I asked for the boss or owner. She actually laughed in my face and said ok, ya, she will be in sometime today. I said ok, please have her call the room and if I don't answer to call my cell. I said he is my service dog and means the world to me and what was said upstairs really upset me. She giggled again and said "um ya, service dog. Right." I walked away. I didn't hear anything all day, and as my son was opening gifts at about 7, the same man knocked on the door asking if we needed room cleaning. Finally! So my son left his last gift unwrapped on the bed, we grabbed the dog, and headed for the car since there was absolutely nowhere else to wait. No chairs in the lobby, outside the room on the walkway deck, nowhere. Finally after just over an hour he finished. We returned to the room to find that my son's last gift was gone, a pair of my pants left on the back of the toilet were gone, and my brand new bottle of $20 specialty shampoo I need because of medication had been spilled all over the tub and then wiped up with the bath mat....which lay crumpled in a corner. There were also dirty shoe prints in the tub. I had it and went in search of a boss of any kind. I found the same girl instead. She claimed the manager had called earlier and spoken to my daughter. This was not true. I said who can I talk to now. She laughed again and said the GM. I said where is he? She giggled and smirked while saying, I don't know, around. Fine. I stormed outside and headed for the only male I hadn't seen yet. This was in fact Nick. I showed him the towel and the pictures I had taken as well as reiterating what was missing and had happened that morning. He said they would reimburse me for the shampoo (they didn't) and that his wife, who manages the employees would have a talk with and retrain both employees as he agreed that their behavior was quite unprofessional. That's the last I ever heard. Obviously I wouldn't let housekeeping back. I got nasty looks from most of the employees from then on for the rest of the 6 days I was there. The housekeeper made it a point to start speaking in his native language to whomever he was with while staring right at me every time he saw me. So basically in the end for standing up for myself to have a service dog for a physical disability, I was punished on my own family vacation. I got no more than 3 hours of sleep each night I was so upset. This story may seem unbelievable, but it is true. I have the pictures still if anyone wants to see them. This place would be great if you didn't have to interact with the staff.... read more

I liked it here. It's a no-frills room, so keep that in mind, but it has everything you need. First and foremost, it was clean and well-kept. Nothing was broken or working improperly, our beds were comfy, there was temperature control, a large-screen tv mounted on the wall, free WiFi, USB outlets, plenty of lighting, and the basic amenities (ironing board, mini fridge, hair dryer, etc). We went while it was under construction, but that wasn't a problem. I don't know if there is a continental breakfast, we never looked for it, but I don't think that was available at the time. It is pet-friendly, there are restaurants within walking distance, and parking was fine. I would stay here again. read more
