Over the course of the few nights booked, I became sicker from the mildewy/moldy conditions. Due to the height of summer & weekend, there no options to find similar accommodations elsewhere. Thankfully, we spent most days out doing the various things in the area, but returned to the conditions each night.

This is the worse place to stay. Save your money and energy the room smelled like mildew, the staff is rude after they take your money, the don’t give clean towels, and the staff monitor who comes and goes and expect you not to have visitors even if they leaving. They took my money and called the cops to have me and my kids put out before my departure date and time! This place really need to close down they have no sense in running a business

Affordable, no Frills with a Great Location

Affordable, very basic but good for families with a great location since it's the ONLY inexpensive hotel/motel located within the town of Hershey. It's actually located within a residential section of downtown Hershey, 2 blocks from Chocolate Ave. so it's an easy walk (via sideways) to breakfast (Lisa's Cafe) and/or back from late night drinks (Fenicci's, Primanti Bros., Iron Hill Brewery, Houlihan's). We didn't because it was raining but we could have walked to Tröegs if we had to (be careful since Park Ave. doesn't have sidewalks all the way to the outlets' parking lot that you could use to cut thru to reach Tröegs). Likewise, it's possible to walk to Hershey Park and/or the Giant Center from this place but walking would not be recommended for small children. Had to carry out our empty aluminum cans since no separate containers for recycling - bummer!

Stay and customer service

Overall, my experience and travel was really great. Customer service was top-tier. I would stay there again. I love the room. I was in Hope to get the same one minor issues with some of the maintenance upkeep but other than that it was a great day.
