“Great value close to Hersheypark”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012

I agree with other recent reviews that the new look of the Courtyards is a bit too modern and uninviting for my taste. However, Marriott never fails to be clean, comfortable, and with a courteous staff. In my book, that's worth the money. I was shocked to find this Marriott property was less expensive by other options with a 10-mile radius of Hersheypark by almost half. What a great deal (and I get reward points to boot). It's less than a 15 minute drive.

Regarding dining, I agree that hotels should go back to an included continental breakfast. It's expensive for the quality of food offered. The August weekend we visited the weather was very hot, but the lobby/restaurant area were extremely cold, to the point of being uncomfortable. I did enjoy actually having a bar that was tended in the evenings, though. Many smaller hotels don't offer that anymore. We opted for dinner across the street at Leeds. It was good, but pretty expensive for Harrisburg.

When we visit Hersheypark again we'll likely stay at this property.

“Typical Courtyard”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2012

The hotel was clean, room was clean and quiet.
I'm not impressed with the new Courtyard style of how they do their bar/restaurant. It's cold, not inviting and overall uncomfortable. Bascially if you want to order a meal everything is sold so it can be prepared in a microwave oven or confection oven. The quality isn't great and to be honest the breakfast was quite pricey for getting a breakfast sandwich cooked in that manner.
All the employees at the Courtyard were helpful and the bar help espcially. It's not their fault they have to cook food that way but they provided great company and interacted with the guests.
Overall I would probably stay here again for business.

“Just Okay.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 21, 2012

Hotel was clean and comfortable and the employees were nice, but for the price
how can you not even offer a continental breakfast??!! Also, no fan in the bathroom so it fogged
quickly, and they have perhaps the smallest pool I have ever seen in a hotel. Thin walls as we could hear our neighbors rather easily. Marrriot can do better.

“I have absolutely no complaints about this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 20, 2012

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.

“Clean and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 1, 2012 via mobile

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.
