    It's possible that Abraham Lincoln may have walked on this outdated carpet.   Gross!

    The beds were like sleeping in plywood, and the pillows were as fluffy as saltines. The towels were like sandpaper and the carpets were gross. Nasty smell of cigarettes in most places.

    Prices are skyrocketing for hotels!!! Scoured the web for decent prices in October for Hershey, omg. After reading many reviews of many hotels, I decided to stay here. In today's economic times, I need to check and triple check that I'm putting my money where it benefits my needs best. Listen, this isn't luxury but we're not a fussy bunch. We stayed in one of the apartments (its an older house refurbished into a few apartments three floors. Ours was a 2 bedroom, full kitchen and bathroom. Yes it is dated, yes it could use some cosmetic work but it was all good. It reminded me of my friend's apartment in Fort Washington, NY (sans the water spots & staples on the drop ceiling). So it was a familiar kinda set up for us. Felt like visiting her old place. Nothing fancy, well worn, quaint & cozy. POSITIVES: Location! We can walk to downtown Hershey & peruse the shops, enjoy a few Duck Donuts, etc. Without traffic, less than 3 minute drive to Hershey Park (with traffic 10!) I was happy I could cook what & when I wanted to (we weren't pigeon holed into a set time frame to eat run of the mill hotel chain continental breakfasts) or have to spend an arm and leg at restaurants in the tourist town. The bathroom had great water pressure and HOT water. So great after a long day at Hershey Park. Clean linens & towels. We utilized their firepit (gotta buy your own wood) in the back. A lovely way way yfinish our nights relaxing, roast marshmallows and star gaze. The motel is right on the busy main street of town, but it was quiet at night and the hotel patrons were not noisy after dark. Trains would pass every now and again in the back of the complex. NEGATIVE: limited parking, beds are a bit hard (imo), my kitchen electric stove's knobs were unreadable. We had a hard time finding the right temperature. It basically always ran HOT so we had keep an eye on the stove and cook with the heat on intermittently so our food wouldn't burn. Oven took forever to bake biscuits!!! (Would really benefit if they updated the stove entirely) TV reception was VERY grainy but we brought our chromecast. Linens and towels are a bit rough (remember it's a motel) but hey are adequate. Toilet didn't always flush when you flushed, had to hold down the handle & make sure all went down. ABIT OF ADVISE: If your staying at an apartment here with kitchen... BRING YOUR OWN COOKING POTS PAN UTENSILS. I called ahead & they stated it's minimal cooking items & a hodge podge of dining items. I brought my own pot & saucepan, cooking utensils, knife, a French press for coffee & cups, cutting board, paper towels, sponge, dish soap, can opener, food containers & tinfoil, disinfetant. Thank God I did. I also brought a nice candle & room spray to make it more home-like cozier feel. That made a difference. With proper packing of provisions ... all in all it was clean, private, affordable and location was good for what I paid for. Something off the beaten path and outside the cookie cutter chainshotels. We would stay here again in an apartment. All around good stay.

    First started in the 50's and some of the furniture is original. But the mattresses are decent, the shower was hard water pressure great showerhead, walls are thin, lots of stairs--Very, very CLEAN!!! Great price. Friendly staff. Walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. I will go again.

    Our son's makeshift tiny bed. :-) It worked! He was very cozy.

    If you're like me "Motel" might be a word that often gives you a mental image of a trashy/cheap roadside dive that's got questionable dingy old rooms and is anything BUT "high quality"; Well; this place is 100% the opposite. It's my favorite place of the last 100 hotels I've stayed in. I can't say enough GREAT things *despite* having a disturbance/issue with another guest after midnight. (More about how the hotel handled that below). The place is well lit and easy to find just minutes from Hershey Park: You pull into the parking lot- plenty of easy parking right by your room, even with no vaccancies. Zero wait to check in... When you arrive (we got here at 10pm)- you find your registration form and key in an envelope on the unattended office desk.... It's so quaint! (you don't even have to talk to anyone)- just grab your key & go! It took us just two minutes to find our room & walk there- back outside, down a walkway, through a door & around a corner. Easy peasy. The building is a gorgeous, unique, quaint property with *tons* of charm. From the cute Hershey's kiss shaped Room #'s on each door, the floral office, well-lit hallways, clean parking lot, cute little courtyards, a pond w/ cute decor - the entire place (with it's cool multiple twists & turns w/ various nooks & crannies.) reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. It feels VERY safe & quiet..Not a single lightbulb burnt out nor a shred of trash anywhere! It's obvious that the owners take pride in the place! Part of the motel is the classic "drive up to your door" style. Old school room-keys (no electronic key cards here!)- There's a variety of suites/apartments/rooms both upstairs & down- a few twists & turns, a few stairs, around a corner & through a doorway and we find the well marked hallway w/ 2-3 rooms grouped together... and we find our room; SO cool & unique. They thought of EVERYTHING; Safe cigarette disposal outside, along w/ chairs & tables (w/ ashtrays) obviously keeps people from smoking in their rooms (so smart!). Our room (#3!) was odorless & spotless. I flat out couldn't believe the booking was for real & my expectations were honestly LOW. For just $37(!!!) - We got an awesome & spotless room - *so unbelievably cheap* - on Labor Day weekend. How is that even possible?! The Room; Best part; the A/C was already on to welcome us - no waiting for it to get comfy! A spacious single-room with a comfy queen bed, a chair w/ foot-stool (that made a perfect "fold out" bed for our young son). There was extra pillows and an extra blanket right the room. It has beautiful decor (pretty curtains, real wood furniture, tasteful art & wall decor, table lamps & a really pretty chandelier above the bed! BRIGHT lighting throughout (love that!)- there's a sm microwave and fridge (it was actually sitting open when we got in- not sure if it actually works... Maybe you are supposed to plug it in if you need to use it). There's a clean & spacious bathroom w/ a tiled walk-in stall shower- No waiting for the place to get comfy and cool! They even have a little table in the hallway between the four rooms w/ extra toilet paper- clearly they have thought of anything you could need. The tv has tons of channels that come in clearly... All in all; id give the place 10/10 - and I fully plan to stay here again any opportunity we have to come to this area!!

    The place was small and quaint it was nice the service was mediocre I can count that towards the virus though. Room was the only problem was the toilet didn't work but I'm sure they have a fix by now

    Even though they try to be nice, but the quality of the " motel" was poor.... the room has terrible small and the bed was cheap and uncomfortable. U get what u paid for it($130 ) On the top , the wall was very thin and u can hear any little things that is going on in the other room .... bad bad bad

    Warped paneling

    This place is like staying in my grandparents partially finished basement. The room they put us in was in the basement of the house next door to the motel. It had old warped paneling and doors going upstairs to the other rooms. It was put together pretty Half hazard Like. We would have left but there was no place to go at 9 pm after driving five hrs. Whenever the upstairs people flushed we woke up because the sewer pipe was behind the paneling by our heads. The pool in the pictures online is actually a little above ground pool in the neighbors back yard. The bd was hard and the pillows were tiny. I wouldn't have paid 50$ for this place but what could I do. They charged 118$. Pay the extra money and stay at the days inn across the street. The only reason I gave two stars is because it was clean

    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.

    I would like to preface this review with the fact that I have been in service my entire life,…read moreincluding managing a hotel myself. I currently work for American Airlines at the Charlotte Douglas Airport. The front desk agent Matt - caused me to walk away from a prepaid reservation and pay to stay at the Hilton Hershey property instead. Which was amazing, by the way! I had a reservation for 6/15, and had called the week before to reconfirm an early check in. After working my 8-9-hour shift, I drove over 7 hours straight to Hershey PA to take my elderly mother to a concert at Hershey Stadium. Once arriving at the Fairfield, Matt brusquely replied that I did not have a reservation. I explained to him that a Marriott Vacation Club Member had gifted me the room and it was registered in my name as well as theirs. He then "found it" and told me there would be no early check in although I had confirmed, and I would have to wait until after 4pm. Mind you it is 11am, and at this point I have been awake well over 24 hours and am feeling faint. He was so nasty, I took a step back to take a calming breath. He was then so rude to the next lady (in front of her children as well) that she exclaimed "is this how you treat Marriott Bonvoy Members? WOW!" I knew I was unable to reason with this individual, and I was too exhausted to escalate the issue. So, I simply left and took my business elsewhere. I called today after some thought on the matter, hoping to give grace, and it was Matt who answered the phone. He was disdainful, snide, would not provide me with the GM's name or email and disconnected the call. I called Marriott Bonvoy myself and got the information I needed. Matt is ABSOLUTELY NOT the person Guests should EVER see and interact with upon entering a Marriott property. A welcoming smile and spirit of kindness is necessary in our industry. Matt has none of these qualities. Like I relayed to Corporate, Matt is most definitely a cause of loss of revenue for this location. On a more positive note, Zira and Melisa at The Hampton Inn Hershey saved the day! Highly recommend!!!

It's your familiar Courtyard experience, just with a lot more chocolate nearby. The location is very convenient to the various Hershey attractions, making it a good home base if you're in town for Hersheypark or just looking to explore the area. The property has the usual Courtyard amenities, including an indoor pool, fitness center, and their Bistro, where you can grab Starbucks coffee and other al-a-carte items, although a bit on the pricey side. Our room was a good size and had a mini fridge and in-room safe, which are always nice to have. The bathroom had a large walk-in glass shower, although there was no actual shower door. The property also has one EV charger, which is a nice bonus if you need to charge your vehicle. There are two elevators, but unfortunately one was out of order during our stay. With only one elevator doing all the heavy lifting, elevator service was definitely on the slow side. The biggest downside was the price. At north of $500 for one night, this definitely isn't what I'd call a bargain. At that price, some complimentary Hershey chocolate in our room would have been nice! That said, the hotel was clean, well maintained, and overall a comfortable place to stay. Nothing particularly fancy or unique, but it delivers the consistent Courtyard experience you'd expect and has a very convenient location for visiting Hershey.

If you sang, you got a raffle ticket for 150 Bonvoy points. - The prices for the Starbucks in the lobby are outraeous. $17 for a breakfast sandwich. No we did not eat there. - They have a water jug for "free water" that was always out of water. - They have an indoor pool which is the size of a hot tub. TINY. And there are no chairs. So expect to stand. - We had to call twice then actually walk to the front desk because the room phone was not working and the front desk lady couldn't hear me. I needed bath wash because ours was empty (not sure why housekeeping doesn't check this). - No safe in the room but there is a fridge and microwave. Makes zero sense to me. Next time, we will be staying at the lodge.

The rooms were older but plenty comfortable and the overall hotel experience was satisfactory. A big minus was the shower/ although the water pressure was fine there was no way to have a stream that actually hit your body without it hitting the back of the shower and onto the floor in the bathroom. Made for spartan and less than stellar showers. Other than that the rooms were quiet enough and the restaurants were very good. Be careful though- signs are crazy non existent when you need them. You'll come up to an intersection and be left with a 50/50 guess which way to go. The elevator and the pool are probably only 100' apart but you need to go to the second floor and then forever and back to get to the water park. On the plus side, the restaurants had great food and the bartenders were friendly and hospitable. We were shocked how reasonable the prices were compared to home and served to remind us how much things ought to cost. Because it's part of the Hersheypark world, there is a shuttle that starts at 8am and goes through 9pm each day. Free of charge, it is a great savings over the daily parking fee you'd otherwise incur at the park. Staying at the lodge you'll get an early admission to the park as well- getting those roller coasters out of the way that normally get a big line. Super plus. Yes, for sure we'd come back or try one of the other affiliated hotels in the area.

Needless to say, Hershey was quite crowded and I can only imagine how it would have been during a weekend. The grounds are well-manicured, the indoors clean with numerous conveniently located restrooms. It paarars to me that the entire complex is handicap friendly. The staff all seemed friendly and security had a presence. The light breakdast and lunch buffets were quite tasty, and there was plenty of coffee and other beverages available. I thought it nice that each table had a small assortment of Hershey chocolates. My meeting was only one day, thus overnight accommodations were unnecessary, however my recollection is that the prices are rather steep. Overall, it was a pleasant meeting location and dining experience!
