Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel♡

Perfectly nice, renovated room, highway access

10.0

We stayed for one night, passing through, and it was a perfectly nice standard Sheraton with easy highway access. Our room was newly renovated. There were some punch list items that should’ve been taken care of, such as closet doors that don’t close, but overall it was nice enough. The large pool is probably their biggest asset, which is both an indoor and an outdoor pool with a swim through access. The only annoying thing about the stay was that they serve breakfast in a lower conference room which had no ventilation, so your clothes end up smelling. There was some construction around but it didn’t bother us and I’d certainly stay here again if passing through.

Target and other stores close by

− Hotel in general not clean. Wouldn’t allow your own drinks at the pool. Breakfast not included.

Be aware.

The hotel has changed little since last year. Renovation was halted 1-2 years ago; parts still in dissarray and the rumor is it is in receivership. The restairant is limited in availability and seating; also like last year. The staff is VERY friendly. Poison ivy has run rampant on the back side of the building in the English ivy beds. Along with the invasive Virginia creeper. No warning signs posted.

Book elsewhere!

I stayed here for an art class and while there were some good things about the hotel, I never would have stayed here had I known what shape it is in, nor would I stay here again. The staff was very nice but rarely answered questions satisfactorily. The hotel is undergoing renovations and is kind of a mess--it is definitely not Sheraton quality. It is also quite sprawling--you had to meander the halls to get to places. Our room was okay as was the meeting room my class was held in. Breakfast was included and was good. There is a Target and fast food places within walking distance.

Only Good From a Distance

They say this hotel is being renovated, but there were no signs of workers doing anything anywhere—and we wandered the many halls trying to get around. The signage was poor. The room was decent and the beds were good. The breakfast was edible. Enough of the good stuff—the shower/tub was really slippery, and the ceiling was peeling above it. The toilet paper holder was coming off the wall. AND, the water coming out of the pipes smelled of dirt. I didn't even want to shower there. The hotel gives bottled water and we used it for everything, including brushing teeth. They don't tell you to do that, but they should. My sister and I stayed here for an art retreat she was attending. I spent the day doing some work and swimming my laps in the inside pool, which is connected to the outside pool by a short tunnel. Lots of debris floating, in the water (I pulled out a candy wrapper). I was wearing goggles, so I could see the bottom hadn't been painted in a long time, and what was there was peeling. Tons of kids in the pool, so I'm sure it wasn't terribly hygienic. I finished my laps and left. The sloped concrete hall to the pool is a mess as well. It needs painting—and cleaning. Outside the carpeted hallway to the elevator looks like a tenement. The brown paint to the elevator doors was all scratched up and even had some graffiti. This place looks good on paper and everything looks nice from a distance, but it's falling apart much faster than anything is getting fixed.

not worth the price

The staff was kind and attentive

− I had ants in my room. The "Bar" was a hallway that was converted into a bar to handle the construction. It smelled and there was more bugs.
