The Nittany Lion Inn

10/10 Excellent

"As with our previous stays, the hotel is exceptional in appearance, nice clean rooms, friendly staff with convenient location to school. Would stay here on ever trip to visit our student if possible. "

Parkview Inn & Suites Lancaster

10/10 Excellent

" Bed and linens were a perfect 10, clean and soft. We were upgraded to a suite which had a living room and second tv. The cookie choice on arrival was sweet and we enjoyed the breakfast which had a variety of breakfast sandwiches to pick from plus they had a few hot options and the waffle stations.The hotel could use a bit of a refresh but everything was nice and clean. My son loved the lobby area which was decorated for the holiday season. We were across the street from the outlets but did not have time to stop."

Holiday Inn Express - Harrisburg East by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I had to stay here for several day while my brother was hospitalized nearby. All the front desk staff was lovely. Solid breakfast and rooms are just fine. Easy location. If you pay top dollar for these rooms you might be disappointed but I got a great deal!"
