My family has stayed 2 times prior at this location , all I can say is that this is the most non- commercialized place to stay. Where else can you cook on a small grill on the front lawn and enjoy the company of someone that tries to improve what is there. Many updates as the last time we stayed... More

I have stayed here 4-5 times going as far back as the 80's and have always had a good experience. All the rooms are a little different with homey touches. Not fancy, you get what you pay for. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The property is spread over different bulidings that make for some unusual rooms. I... More

My daughter and I thought this place was pretty creepy. It is kind of cute/quaint from the outside, but a real dump, once you check in. Our room was in the home to the side of the property. We had to call maintenance as soon as we arrived, because there was water all over the bathroom floor. The decor was... More

It is awe full funny how these people came here in August 2012 and spent the night and now they are putting a bad review up on TripAdvisor. I have checked with all my staff and there where no complaints of water being on any floor, Furthermore, they would not be put in a room like that in the first... More

I was a little nervous about booking after reading some of the reviews, but we loved this place so much, I just have to gush a little about it! We made reservations for 4 adults and 2 teenagers for the PIAA Basketball Championships (yep, we won!!!) for a 1 night stay. We rented a 2 bedroom apartment, which was actually... More

We stayed here for one night so that we could take our kids to Hershey Parks Christmas Candylane and to The Day out with Thomas event on Sunday in Lancaster. We arrived at the hotel early and the owner was very nice and let us check in early. Our room had 2 rooms and a shared bathroom. The rooms were... More

First off, we arrived late around 8:30pm so the "house keeper" apparently is the one that checked us in and told us that "Pet Fee" was included in charge we were quoted. So we thought all was set...boy were we wrong. When we went to leave the next morning, the "owner" said that he was charging us $100 for sneaking... More

There are so many things that we did not like with this motel & our room. Yes, it was one of the least expensive motels in the area, but certainly not worth what we paid for. First of all, the room smelled like urine. Not all the outlets worked in the room. The refrigerator smelled horrid of mold. The air... More

Our motel is not for everyone however, if these guests had so many problems with the room why did they stay. Moreover, as far as the room smelling like mold and urine this statement is untrue because out rooms are cleaned twice a week with bleach to kill any mold spores. While some of our pillows are flat and they... More

My wife and I have stayed at this motel a few times. Each time we were given the same room. We dubbed it "our room". The motel is basic, but given the price and location, it was all that was needed. I look forward to the next time we visit and hopefully we will get "our room" again!

This was our second trip to the Simmons Motel. I guess its ok if you want inexpensive accommodations in Hershey, where a room at the Hershey Hotel can cost you north of $400 and a room at a mid-level chain like the Comfort Inn is $200 or more. The location is close to the park and right on Chocolate Avenue... More

The two of us have been there two years in a row, June 2010 & 2011, and will be going again, this July. Mom and son, Whitney, run a wonderful motel in downtown Hershey. You can walk to downtown to many restaurants. You can even park downtown and catch a jitney to Hershey Park and avoid the parking lot fees.... More
