“Good Experience with Good Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2012

It had all the amenties we could ask for - Good Price, Clean Rooms, Refrigerator, Microwave(which many hotels I stayed do not have), Free Breakfast, WiFi. It was in close proximity to many tourist attractions (which was one reason I chose this location). Nearby was a gas station, with a mini mart, 2 pizzerias, if you are hungry. The owners were courteous.
(Just read about another client who complained about the heat- if you just raised the thermostat, the room was comfortable.)
Would recommend this to everyone. Good Price with Good Value.

“Cold Rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

If it wasn't for the cold room upon arriving, I would have rated the motel 4 stars. We stayed there in mid December when the outside temperature was about 30 degrees. The room has only an 8 ft. section of electric baseboard heat in the front and a 4 ft. piece at the back. There is a shorter piece (approx. 3 ft.) of base board heating element in the bathroom, but that stopped working after about an hour. We arrived about 9 p.m. and sat with our coats on for the first hour. When we checked in the desk clerk said that "if we turned the heat up, it would be warm in 10 or 15 minutes". Anyone familiar with electric baseboard heaters knows there are no fans to force air circulation. You have to wait for the air to heat close to the heater and then slowly circulate throughout the room.

We left the thermostat turned all the way up and went to bed about 11 p.m. using the sheet, blanket, and bed spread for covers. I woke up about 3 a.m. and the room was nice and warm. I turned the thermostat back until I heard it click off and left it there. The room remained quite comfortable for the remainder of our stay. For anyone staying there in the winter, I would recommend you call ahead and reserve your room and ask them to turn up the heat, or arrive early, turn up the heat, and go out to a restaurant or shopping for a couple hours.

The heating situation was our only real complaint. The only other more minor things (which my wife complained about) were the bed mattress was extremely firm and the front door of the motel room was only about 120 ft. from the main highway so you would hear traffic noise.

This motel is only a few miles from the Hershey Park Tourist attraction. We were not there to see the park and only wanted an inexpensive place to spend the night and not pay outrageous tourist prices. This motel was fine for this at about $65 for the night. It was clean with no stale or cleaning odors. It had a TV with a huge channel selection, microwave and a small refrigerator all in working condition.

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

While Visiting Hershey with my friends we stayed at Americas best Value Inn,Palmyra.other group stayed at Travelodge Hershey.This is a wonderful, hotel. I totally enjoyed my stay here. The rooms are very clean, and I love the bathroom. The pool is closed during the winter which understandable. And anyone staying in Hershey PA should stay here. Everything is nearby and there is so much to do here. All I can stay is this is a great hotel with wonderful rooms and a great staff.

“Excellent value and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

My son and I visited from July 6-8, 2012. We were looking for a place that was within 10-15 minutes of HersheyPark, yet was affordable. After checking reviews here we decided to stay here and were not disappointed.We were greeted by a friendly young couple at the front desk who made check in easy and answered all our questions (24 hour supermarket right around the corner).
The room itself was clean and nice. Microwave, small fridge and free wi-fi were the 3 amenities we needed, all were there and working perfectly. Pool out back came in handy when we decided to escape from the 100 degree heat of the park.
Continental breakfast in the motel office was pretty basic, but there was plenty there to fuel up and start the day.
After hearing about our trip my other son wants to go next year. My wife and I will stay here, if we go. Highly recommended.
