“Bed Bugs, Hairs in bathroom, Dirty Carpet, and weird feeling about the "woman."”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 11, 2011

Yes, it is true. This place is very bad. It looks nice outside, but...
My daughter and I were n our way back from FL. We stayed in this motel for one night. I checked the review of another website, and most of them praised this motel. We got there very late (3am). The "woman" charged me $15.00 more than she should and told me when I called earlier, but we were very tired. When we entered to the room, the window was open. it had a nasty musky/mold/cigarette odor(s) I used my cellphone to check tripadvisor's reviews. I got scared. I checked the bed and blankets for bed bugs. I couldn't find any, but I am not an expert. Next morning my daughter has 6 bugs bites in her legs and right foot. My daughter and I slept w our cloth on. I had a long jeans, and she had bermuda/short pants.

I also found something like dry food stick to the carpet. Many long black hairs in the tub. I checked the towels b4 using them, and I am glad i didn't find any dry feces like the other person, but towels were very, very use.

The "woman" is very sneaky. she is not polite, and as soon I saw her, I felt a bad vibe... Watch out.

I called and asked if they could mail my phone charger to me ...I WOULD PAY!!!! They said they DON' T DO THAT!!!!!!. Thanks for nothing Dutch Motel....... I will let my friends and family know just how inconsiderate and unfriendly you are there..... was thinking about staying there again.......I'M NOT !!!!!!!

“DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 6, 2011

Me and my wife went here to find out the room was dirty, there was hair all over the bathroom. WE FOUND A SODA CAN UNDER THE BED SHEET!! Worst of all we were there an hour and half until we found another hotel and they would not refund our money.

“Great For the Price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 15, 2011

My wife and I stayed for one night on July 10th. This was the 2nd time we have stayed here.The staff was friendly and the room was clean. The bed was actually pretty comfortable. Absolutely no complaints. For the price we paid ($55.00) it is a great deal.
If we return to the area we will stay here again.

“Great stay, will be back!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 28, 2011 via mobile

Just recently stayed here with my family and it was great! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Our room was very clean and bathroom was as well. The motel was just miles away from Hershey Park. We will be back in the near future.
