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.

06.27-28.26 I made…read morethis reservation at TownePlace Suites a few months ago and even recommended the hotel to some friends who were traveling with us. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most disappointing Marriott stays we've had. We arrived around 3:00 p.m. When we first pulled into the parking lot, the building looked older and somewhat run down. We went inside to see if our room was ready, and the front desk associate said it was. After checking us in, I mentioned that our friends would be arriving later and asked if they could be placed near us. She gladly said she would put a note in the computer, which I appreciated. As we walked to the elevator, the hallways felt very warm and had a muggy, musty smell. When the elevator doors opened on the third floor, there were multiple trash bags sitting throughout the hallway. We opened the door to our room and immediately noticed the same musty odor. The room was freezing because the air conditioner had been set to 64 degrees. After putting our bags down, I opened the refrigerator to put away a few items and was shocked by how dirty it was. The shelves looked like they had been wiped with the same dirty rag used in room after room without being rinsed. The couch had several burn holes and looked like food and drinks had been spilled on it many times. The carpet also appeared to have been vacuumed very poorly, almost as if someone simply made a quick pass over it. Another frustration was that the room only had one telephone, located on the work desk, and it didn't even work. We tried calling the front desk for assistance but couldn't get through, so we ended up having to walk downstairs to get what we needed. That shouldn't happen at any hotel, especially a Marriott property. Then our friends arrived. Their room was supposed to be ready by 4:00 p.m., but at 4:40 they were told they would have to be sent to another hotel because no rooms were available. About 10 minutes later, they were suddenly given a room, although it was on a different floor. Unfortunately, their room had the same musty smell and lack of cleanliness as ours. Breakfast was another disappointment. The egg omelet was rubbery, and the chicken sausage patties were so dried out they were like beef jerky, as if they had been repeatedly microwaved. Just after 9:00 a.m., I watched the breakfast attendant carry a plate overflowing with sausage patties down the hallway while only a handful remained in the serving pan. It would have made much more sense to keep the food available for guests instead of removing it. Throughout our stay, I also overheard several guests asking for towels, bedding, and toilet paper because their rooms didn't have enough supplies. When we left each morning, I also noticed there were no housekeeping carts or staff on any of the floors, something we normally see at Marriott properties. We've stayed at many Marriott hotels over the years, and this property simply did not meet the standards we've come to expect from the brand. Sadly, we won't be returning.

In the mornings, they have complimentary breakfast. Bonus points is this hotel is very close to the PA Farm Complex if you need to be there for anything. We were able to walk over to the farm show and not have to worry about parking!

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!

The decor is old fashioned with the darker woods, typical beige walls, forest green/tan carpeting and drapes. Small updated bathrooms with toiletries. The hotel lobby looked modern, clean and fresh so seeing the room decor I felt a disconnect. I also wasn't expecting to see 1980s office ceiling paneling, that was odd for a hotel room. I do hope that the hotel service/ room service will be top notch to continue to elevate the experience of your stay. I wish them the best!

You can't use Apple or Samsung pay for your room tho they have it clearly available. You're only able to tap for purchases in the mini store. The bed wasn't bad (tho small - I didn't book the room), but the other furniture on the room was falling apart. The lobby was also in a pretty bad state. Our friends' room had no toilet paper or towels. Shocking. Ice in your room fridge is nice & all, but takes a long time to start and is loud, so we had to turn that off to sleep.

When I returned that evening a different staff member was on duty and was not near as friendly as the first one I encountered, or what I am used to at IHG hotels. He did not offer me my Diamond Elite welcome options, just chose the points for me, did not thank us for staying or choosing your hotel.  When arriving at my room I found it was the exact opposite of my saved IHG preferences, and was across from the elevator.  I went back down to the front desk where the staff member was not willing to assist me or help find a solution.  I asked if we could move rooms tomorrow, he said he had 2 bed rooms checking out tomorrow but could not guarantee me one, I would need to talk to the person on duty tomorrow.  I do not understand why he could not assist and make this work. I asked to speak to the manager, who he said was unavailable, and so is the owner.  When setting the room up we found no sheets for the fold out couch, we returned to the front desk and was given a set of king sheets, which is entirely too big for the fold out, but they were out of pillows. The fan between the living room and bedroom, for air circulation, had wires connected by wire nuts and unplugged. Therefore, we had no air circulation into the bedroom. The next day I asked for three sets of towels and washcloths to be told they only had two. Another time I found the downstairs restroom to be without toilet paper. Our last morning I asked for a late check out, to be met with an attitude from the staff member working the front desk.

Hotel and rooms: Hotel is very new (appearance wise at least), super clean, no weird mold smells or dirty anything, no smoking smells etc. Rooms are very spacious and have nice bathrooms with big showers and kitchens with basics like utensils cups and plates. Everything in room was the cleanest I've ever seen at a hotel (I stay in many every year for work). Location: Easy to get to hotel, no loud noises at no guy or in the morning. Safe and off main road so no people or cars nearby the hotel parking lot which made it feel even more safe. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone! I'll be back for sure next time I'm in the area!

Having a good sized fridge was helpful! Breakfast is decent - I appreciated the build your own breakfast sandwich approach which is a little different than most included hotel breakfasts. 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.
