We spent seven consecutive nights in hotels, all Marriott properties, and this hotel was the best. We were not going to Hershey (tons of kids and families in the hotel so I am certain that was the popular destination for people staying in the hotel) but were visiting six colleges in the area north to Lewisburg, west to Carlisle and east to Lancaster. The hotel was centrally located and close to the highways. The lobby was absolutely beautiful and spacious. We got food from the cafe, which was reasonably priced, and the service and food were both good. The location is close to shopping and restaurants. The beds were not as comfortable as some of the other Courtyards but I still had two good night's sleep. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel this past Thursday and Friday nights. Our room was clean and comfortable, and I would definitely stay here again. The positives included a fairly comfortable king sized bed, good water pressure in the bathroom with plenty of hot water, plenty of ice in the machine even on a scorching hot weekend, a nice sized, newer flat screen TV, decent, though limited, food options in the lobby, great A/C that kept our room cool and comfortable on a few of the hottest days of the year, and a very convenient dorm-sized refrigerator for our use in the room.

There were a couple of negatives for us, as well. First, even though there was a photocopied note from the manager apologizing for the wifi problems and letting us know they had been fixed, we had no usable wifi signal throughout our stay. Second, the sheets on our bed that were used to cover the comforter were too small to do that job effectively. The sheet issue is just a pet peeve of mine, as I know that not every hotel washes the comforters in between every guest. This hotel was very clean, and likely did wash the comforter. I just like nice big sheets that generously cover it all up. That said, I did not mention either of these problems to the hotel during our stay, so they had no opportunity to respond or make changes.

To be fair, it was also a bit annoying that the room was not particularly well lit, even with every light on, and to open our curtains during the day to get sunlight was not a great option since we were often greeted with throngs of soccer players warming up in the courtyard right outside our window.

Moreover, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We were about 10-15 minutes from the Hershey attractions and 10 minutes from E-town.

When you need to be nearby food, shopping, and interstate access, this hotel will accomodate you nicely. The Courtyart is standard for Marriott's excellence in service and amenities. The pool is a little small and the hot tub has been removed since first constructed, but the grass lawn and gazebo in the rear of the hotel or the lobby common area are nice places to unwind during a busy trip. The rooms are clean and nicely laid out and service is exceptional. You can get free coffee in the mornings but the bar charges for the breakfast.

Let me start by saying nice hotel options for business travel are definitely limited. This is the 2nd time I am staying here and I think that it is going through renovations because the bistro opened the 2nd day of my stay. The rooms here definitely need some freshening up- a little too dark and drab in comparison to some of the renovated courtyards. The staff is great- so friendly and helpful. The location is good as well, not too far from shopping and a mall which makes for a way to pass the time when traveling for business.
