Will stay here again next time in Harrisburg
When traveling between Florida and New York, I tried something different this time. I usually search for the cheapest hotel that has a decent rating. This time, I searched for the highest-rated hotels...that were affordable. It worked out very well, and this place is a perfect example. It's a very classy, well-appointed hotel. I have paid three times as much and stayed in places that were not close in quality. Staff was friendly and efficient. Bar/restaurant was nice and food was good. Highly reccommended.

Best western Premier Central and conference Center in Harrisburg PA.
Had a wonderful time at the best Western Premier in Harrisburg. Was there for a family gathering/holiday party. Staff was wonderful... both at the front desk and in our party room. The rooms are very comfortable. The central lobby is wonderful for gathering and was decorated beautifully for Christmas.

This was by far the best hotel I have stayed at in a long time. The hotel was clean and the restaurant on site was amazing for the price and amount of food we got. We went for the weekend to attend the Farm Show and even though it is twelve minutes away it is worth the stay. Their pool was amazing and it was nice to relax after a long day.

Very Pleased!
When I found out we had to stay at a Best Western for our hockey tournament, I was horrified. After reading the Trip Advisor reviews for this property, I felt much better. We stayed 4 nights and I have to say it was a very nice hotel. I always thought Best Western was like a Super8 but this location was more like a Marriott or Hilton. In fact, I liked it much better than some of the Marriott and Hilton’s we have recently stayed at. What’s to like....the lobby is very pretty. Tons of places for groups to congregate. The front desk staff was pleasant at every interaction. Our room was very clean (except for our ice bucket which I wrote off as an oversight). The beds were comfortable. The room was quiet. It had a mini fridge and microwave, blackout curtains, ample closet and drawer space. Why only 4 stars....the entire 3rd floor wreaked like cigarettes. Our room did not but the hallways did and sometimes when we opened our door the stink came in. It was not a stale smoke smell. Someone had to be smoking a lot for it to be so strong because it was even burning our eyes. The shower water pressure was not great. The WiFi was hit and miss. One of the really awesome things about this hotel was that the management gave our hockey group (7 teams) access to the conference room. The kids played knee hockey and team dinners were held in here. This was very smart on their part because it isolated the kids from the other guests, providing them with a place to hang out without disturbing the non hockey guests. I also want to mention that our room was missed by housekeeping one day (partially our fault because one of our boys was in the room until 11:45am). When we got back in the evening we were disappointed our beds were not made but mostly because we didn’t have any fresh towels. I called the front desk and within just a couple minutes, fresh towels were at our door. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and I think for the most part they get it right. They do need to be more diligent in enforcing health and safety issues like the smoking and I also noticed pets on the balcony on the 2nd floor when only the 1st floor was supposed to be pet friendly. Other than that, everything else was perfectly acceptable and we were satisfied with our stay.…

Dear Senior TA Contributor, We appreciate your honest feedback regarding your initial reaction to our property, and are pleased to hear the positive feedback shared by previous guest’s eased any concerns, while our incredible hospitality team and exceptional full-service facilities ultimately exceeded your expectations! Thank you for specifically mentioning our unique grand atrium, clean and comfortable guest rooms, and the private gathering space designated for your team! I am confident your feedback relating to the corridor odor will assist us as we continue to teach, and train our hospitality team to addresses any future smoking concerns with immediate resolve. We will also follow-up with your comment regarding the Wi-Fi signal as reliable internet is most certainly a basic guest expectation! Overall, we thank you again for sharing your experience with the travel community, and look forward to an opportunity to host additional teams visiting the area while competing in Central Pennsylvania’s frequent athletic events! We wish you, and your team, continued success with your season, and thank you for providing us with an opportunity to serve you! Best Regards, Peter J. Chiccarine, CHA General Manager | the Central Hotel
