    Parking should be exclusive to the hotel guest not the restaurant patrons or the hotel staff.

    The pictures on the website make it look a lot bigger and nicer looking than it was. Basically disappointed as soon we pulled in wasn't what we expected.The pool was closed. The restaurant employees took guest parking spaces.

    Convenience of the ice machine, parking outside the room when we could get it , our own front porch

    We booked a room for 1 night as we decided to drive early to Hershey for another hotel reservation the next morning. We arrived at the hotel at 10:30 pm and checked out at 8:30a. Later in the day, I received a $15 charge on my credit card a couple of hours after I left. When I called to ask about the charge, I was told it was "stains" found on a towel that couldn't be removed after the wash. When I asked how they knew that towel belonged to me, the staff replied, " The housekeeper noted it." But then said all towels from several rooms get washed together, and they determine it was mine. It did not make any sense at all. Knowing the conversation was not going anywhere, I hung up. The staff at the hotel called back and apologized. There was confusion. It was a missing towel that was noted. We used 1 face towel and 2 large towels. It was a stay for 1 night, and we were all exhausted from a 4-hour drive. It is absolutely annoying that I am penalized for missing towels I did not take. I have no reason to take their towels as we are checking into another hotel right after checking out at 8:30a. After this experience, I am forever bringing my own towel to all my hotel stays.

    Outside of hotel looks rundown and unsafe, but room was very quiet, comfy, and clean. Also, wish the pool was open until 10pm. When it closes prior to the park closing, its disappointing. Most want to swim after a long hot day in the park.

    Manager was never around and he was rude when we checked in and had questions about bars in the shower. The breakfast was horrible. There were small Styrofoam bowls to make oatmeal in the microwave and they were not only too small they melted.

    Close to our destinations.

    The door to go in and out of in the hallway to our room was unlocked 24 hours. As a woman traveling alone, that made me uncomfortable. It should have card access to the outside door into the hall for security, just like individual rooms.

    Room was clean, updated and mattress was comfortable.

    My husband said the Mattress could've been a bit more firm for his liking. But the room was very clean and cozy.

    We didn't do the breakfast. But we loved the location it was the perfect distance from Hershey Park and it was in a very safe a clean area.

    Parking area was difficult. Toilet paper was 1 ply. Lighting inside the room was dim. Refrigerator didn’t get cold enough. Water took a terribly long time to get warm. No water pressure. No coffee pot. Breakfast included in the stay was cereal, which was disappointing.

    It had an efficiency apartment feel.
