Me and my family stayed back in July 2003 for one night because we planned on going to Hershey park the next day. I don't fully remember anything because I was only 12 at the time, but it was awful! With my 4 year old Sis at the time who kept playing around, the rooms were very small. The bathroom had mold stains on the sink and the tub had lots of ants crawling and it smelt of mildew! I'm soo glad we left the very next day!

Strong smell of mould. It smelled like the carpet was rotting. I didn't dare put my bare feet on it. Two small mouse holes were chewed near the corner in the bathroom. Freaked me out. But it was late and I was exhausted, so I plugged the holes with tissue. I slept with the lights on all night...I didn't want anything to be crawling on me through the night. That's scary. Pulled a ski hat over my eyes to fall asleep with all the lights on. The bed was very comfortable, but the pillow was gross, made of foam rubber, old, yellow and smelly. I put a clean white T-shirt over it. Didn't dare take my clothes off. Tried not to touch anything. The bathroom smelled of urine. Grossed me out. Since the bed was comfortable and my eyes covered, I fell right to sleep. It wasn't long before it was morning. Since I was already dressed, I left quickly. I won't ever be back!

I reserved this room, after being reassured on the phone by the front desk that the rooms were clean and comfortable (worried with the mixed reviews on here). We pulled into the parking lot and started to worry. When we went into the room, started to check for bed bugs, they had them or some kind of bug in the beds, shoes and trash were under the bed. Horrible smelly rooms, moldy bathrooms. Stained sheets. Went back to front desk, demanded my money back (this is at 11pm) and went to a different hotel. Thank God we didn't unpack the car. This was all within 2 minutes. Office is tiny and behind a plexiglass window. Area is off the beaten path. Don't understand the positive reviews from others. We weren't expecting a lot for a little, just clean and safe. Look at the pictures someone else posted, they are exactly what the rooms look like, not what the hotel has posted.

Overall, This motel is one of the best economical motel under $68 + Tax (cost us half similar others that too on a July Weekend!! Saturday night stay) in 2 miles of Hershey Park entrance and downtown restaurants, can't beat the location you can even walk to Hershey park in 15-20 minutes and be in bed in 30 minutes after being the last one exiting the park at 11:10pm. Tips for future fellow travellers to Hershey ... Other bad reviews may reflect older times before upgrades and rooms matched to price paid via cheap websites Often folks lower the price they want to or can afford to pay but forget to lower their expectations in tandem from their unaffordable 5 star $250+ price condiions. Also many complain but forget #1 rule of hospitality business "Ask for anything you want with a smile and good attitude at any small family run motel and you will find that if available for the price you paid they will meet your needs with a smile in return and treat you like family. We always prefer to overpay a little by going direct to small but well located motels and make our needs known before arrival. Also arrive a bit early to get best room selection. We were given extra towels and pillow upon request instantly. Owner / Operator staff was quite attentive to our needs. As such they are undergoing renovation and the current building will be demolished so the bad reviews would be mute soon. We booked direct and got one of their better rooms and excellent service with a smile we were treated like family they even gave us wonderful tips on Hershey park, and parking too (saved $10 by parking in chocolate world during preview period), recommended downtown area restaurants (celebrated teen daughters birthday at nice Italian restaurant Fenicci's DeAngelis Ristorante (oldest at Hershey) were served dinner with smile even AFTER 11pm and is only half mile from motel). Go with right expectations for the price paid and ask with a smile for great service in return. Good Luck.
