    The 21 members of the Club 21
    Eugenia H.

    Hershey Lodge continues to provide an excellent venue for the annual Club 21 formal dinner dance. The planning committee for the annual dinner dance works with Hershey Lidge to deliver the ambiance and vibe of the night, including floral arrangements, music setup, and attentive staff for our sit-down meal and open bar.

    What an Amazing Staff, in the hottest of weeks reaching 105 degrees, they were still so clean, on top of everything, fast, patient with all the children, and Beyond Convenient for My daughter's Dance Competition! I leave every Year with not only Many Happy memories but a Very Happy stay here! I had a few requests and I spoke to Darlene when confirming my room and She went above and beyond Like Always! Another year down in the books and thanking you And All The Staff at Hershey Lodge, PA!

    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.

    Don't be fooled by the website.

    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...

    Outdated bathrooms, I haven't seen tile like this hotels in 20 years.

    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.

    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

    Popcorn ceilings and ugly dated yellow walls.

    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!

    Entrance. Before the crap service.

    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.

    Piece of tub fallen off the drain

    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.

    Love being able to come here when family is in town. The water park is such a bonus especially for young kids. You honesty could spend the whole weekend here and not have to leave! Only complaint I have can be a little pricey but definitely worth splurging for!

    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.

    Kiss wallpaper. Note stains.

    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.

    Did I read somewhere you'll find chocolate kisses everywhere on your room upon entering? We didn't have 1?

    They give you Hershey bars when you check in. All restaurants give you hershey kisses when they give you the bill.

    Can you use the pool before 4pm if you are checking in that day?

    Good afternoon Kelly S. Yes! You may access our indoor pool complex - Hershey's Water Works - as early as 8 a.m. (complex opening time) on your check-in day.

    I just did the "express check in" .... does it make a difference? I saw some people talk about the lines. ? ** Answer is yes. Hubby bypassed about 20 people in line :)

    How is the indoor pool and slides for a 23/24 year old?

    I wouldn't think it would be very entertaining for that age, except maybe 1 or 2 times. The waterworks was actually smaller than I expected.

    Stayed here for a long birthday weekend from VA. It is a…read morevery clean & small hotel with 5 floors & plenty of parking. The larger studio with 2 Queen Beds & pull out sofa is very spacious with 4 adults but can accommodate 5. There is a partitioned room /work space from the sleeping area, but no door. There are also two TVs. The other tv is located in the work space/separate sitting area with a pull out sofa, coffee table, & a pull out work table & office chair. There are numerous outlets, however some of the sockets were "loose" the plugs wouldn't stay secure in the outlet. But fortunately we remedied this by using other available outlets near the floor lamps. I was relieved when my friend & I pulled out the sofa bed, because sometimes you never know what kind of "surprise" you might find. The sofa bed was really clean & looked relatively new. My friend reported that the bed was a bit stiff but was fine. The AC unit worked like a charm! I do like the full sized shampoo/conditioner & body wash. It's very convenient. A hair dryer is provided for convenience. I do make it a point to search for hotels with a microwave & mini fridge. It's super helpful for road trips for your bottled water or beverages to keep cold & store leftovers. Water pressure was good, as well as the temperature. The only thing that was disappointing was the every other day housekeeping. Although this is mentioned in their website. Breakfast was fairly extensive, with a mixture of cold & hot items such as make your own waffles with options of bottled toppings aside from syrup, toast, bagels, yogurt, cold cereal, oatmeal, bananas, apples, oranges, jams, jellies, & three hot items that would vary on occasion of a frittata, or an omelette, and a type of sausage, either pork or turkey varying on the day. There were friendly employees tending the breakfast area with a smile, ensuring the areas stayed clean & items were replenished & for assistance if needed. Juices & milk were available. While the tea & coffee were at a separate area in the dining area. While it became busy, there was still plenty of seating & no back ups with obtaining food. Sometimes, I wonder exactly what people are looking for when it comes to "complementary" breakfast, when they refer to the breakfast as being garbage or inedible. Clearly you're not going to have eggs Benedict or avocado toast & customized smoothies. If a hotel provides numerous options that also include hot items, I get pretty excited. Haha, it's when it's a continental breakfast that consists of JUST bananas, apple or a bagel & yogurt or a thrown in granola bar is when the disappointment arrives for me. Honestly, it's a nice convenience to have breakfast included so you don't start your day off hangry or trying to figure out where you're going for breakfast. It saves time, & it essentially saves money. It definitely is close to Chocolate World, Hershey Park & a 5 minutes drive from The Hershey Story, Chocolate Avenue Grill & Au Bon Lieu! Roughly a 45 minute drive to Strasburg RR, and a 35 minute drive to Turkey Hill Experience. There is a CVS within walking distance down the block, and an Exxon a block away on the other side of the hotel. The post office across the street is an Annex, so if you need to mail something off, there is a post office near the Hershey Story Museum, behind the Starbucks area. Although places are within walking distance, the streets are not ,that lead to the restaurants. There is no sidewalk until you reach a far way down. Overall, this is a good choice for a hotel if you want to be "centrally" located to Lancaster & other activities outside Downtown Hershey. It's in an unassuming area that seems out of place, but it's convenient, clean, spacious, includes breakfast, parking is included, has a microwave & mini fridge so it ticks off all the boxes for me. Plus the staff were kind & friendly & the hotel looked fresh & beautiful. The indoor pool is small & only 4 feet deep I believe, so if a pool is a deal breaker, this might be a no go for you. Ps if you want a surface to eat on because you don't feel like dining out & you order take away, you can roll that office table between the two beds & use it as a dining table.

    Just finished a six night stay…read more We stayed in large room. It had two queens and a pullout. There was a desk area. Also had a small microwave and small fridge. The room felt dark-with decor in particular. Breakfast every morning. Had your typical breakfast- waffle maker waffles, cereal, bagels, eggs, a breakfast meat, yogurt, fruit, juices. They also had coffee that was out 24/7. Has a small indoor pool and a nice exercise room. Hershey Park during summer months have concerts that you can hear from the sound from your room. So if you go to bed early this may be an important factor. Rooms didn't really have a refresh. I was lucky if trash was taken out and we got new towels without asking. Not a bed made once. I miss those days of coming back to a nicely made bed. I guess those days are long gone? Also, the week we were there lots of kids which were running around the lobby like it was a playground. Overall my stay was okay. I might book here again if I was in the area but I would also consider a different spot as well.

All we really eat for breakfast anyway. then all day there are bags of chips pretzels tea/coffee/hot chocolate/soft drinks dispenser (sodas/lemonade/iced tea/gatorade).

We requested a microwave in our room for my daughter's allergies. They forgot, but there's a microwave to use in the lounge. Yay! Oh and there's board games in the lounge too. There are utensils and plates avail all day for use. Didn't see fire pit lit up for s'mores. Maybe that's during the summer. Hubby got to use the hotel shuttle to take him to the ice hockey game and back. Driver knew when game was over so they were waiting for him before we even had to call. Free admission to Hershey museum and garden. Ok teeny tiny nitnoid grumbles. Our pillows were only down pillows so during the night, they compressed. No other options in room.

With the exception of someone I spoke to on the phone who was incredibly rude, the morning before we checked in when I called to make sure we could stay in the same room for both of our nights (split reservation)... the entire staff was pleasant and helpful. But I really have to give major kudos and credit to the breakfast staff! Suffice it to say, breakfast time gets BUSY around 8:00/9:00 on a weekend morning. They were on top of keeping everything stocked and navigating around lines of people (seriously the waffle line was like 10 people deep). One gentleman in particular (and I wish I had gotten his name) was super helpful after a kid stuck his whole hand into a bowl of chocolate chips so we needed to ask for a replacement. The hotel shows signs of age and nothing is perfect (the shower head was SO HIGH I had to stand on tiptoes to just adjust the stream) but overall it was a good stay. The bed was comfortable... maybe a little firm... but I was THRILLED to find they do do use the crappy down pillows that every other Hilton Brand seems to use. The ones that support your head for about 30 seconds. So this made for a much more restful night of sleep. And of course it is pet friendly with a convenient doggie station on a decent size grassy area that spans the back of the hotel. I WOULD recommend that housekeeping pay a bit more attention to what toiletries they hang in the shower (LOVE LOVE the full size ones that not only cut down on waste but also mean our whole family of four isn't trying to make one tiny bottle of Neutrogena last). The reason I say that is because we didn't have shampoo in our shower. We had shower gel, conditioner, and LOTION. Haha. We're Diamond members so have stayed in a few Hilton properties. And many of them Hamptons. I was not disappointed with this stay. With its proximity to the park (easy in and out), it's a good deal.
