Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area
Everything was extremely dirty . Reviews say clean. That is defiantly not true. Pillows had hair and dark spots. Towels had stains. Shower was old and dirty. Hallways had big stains. Got there too late or I would have left right away.

Hilton Harrisburg
Staff was ok. The hotel surroundings and access was dirty. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for families. There are a lot of homeless folks in the area and the parking garage is sketchy.

Holiday Inn Express - Harrisburg East by IHG
Room was clean and beds were comfortable. But the fridge wasn’t turned on when we arrived so we couldn’t use it. Breakfast choices were good except for the warm orange juice.
