    Run. It was horrible. Additionally, they advertise one price and switch. It is more of a place you go.... If absolutely nothing else in the world is available.

    poop on toilet

    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.

    Nasty stain on the comforter...

    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.

After a 5-hour drive, we arrived around 11 p.m. with our children and were told the hotel had oversold and our room was no longer available. We received NO call, voicemail, or email notifying us. The manager, Mark Thompson, claimed he called us, but there is no record of a call or voicemail. He then claimed he told our friend staying at the hotel, who confirmed the next day that he never did. Even if he had, she was not on our reservation, and it is completely inappropriate to rely on another guest to notify us about changes to our reservation. Around midnight, we were finally offered a smaller room. With exhausted children, no guaranteed alternative hotel, and prepaid Hersheypark plans the next morning, we accepted out of necessity. After finally getting the kids to bed around 1 a.m., someone loudly banged on our door and attempted to open it TWICE. The kids were terrified. When I called the front desk, they dismissed it as "teenagers." We also found what appeared to be mold on our pillows, the pool was out of service, and our friends' room smelled strongly of cat urine. The manager's response afterward was essentially, "You chose to stay, so no refund." Arriving near midnight with children after a 5-hour drive and accepting the only room offered is hardly a meaningful "choice." Marriott escalated our complaint to the property's management company, and we are awaiting a response. Between the oversold reservation, lack of notification, conflicting explanations from management, cleanliness and safety concerns, and dismissive response, this was one of our worst hotel experiences. Families should use caution when booking here.

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.
