Red Lion Hotel Harrisburg Hershey

Everything was great. The staff (Chelsea and Jon) were super friendly and accommodating, despite my late arrival. There was an issue with the first room (nothing under their control) and I was put in another immediately. They took my pet needs into account and placed me in a room that had a sliding door to the outside so I could easily walk my dog. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the property and the grounds. Free breakfast, good coffee, friendly wait staff, too. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to use the indoor pool. And though I wasn't traveling with family this time, the hotel would be a good place for families with kids. Considering it's located near interstate, the property is quiet.

There were a few reasons I didn't rate the stay a 10, and one is admittedly a little petty. The first is that there is no in-room coffee/tea. The only way to get coffee is to leave the room in the morning. Although there was a dorm fridge in the room, it never did get cold, even though I plugged it in, turned it on and left it on all night. Another small thing is that there was a pet waste bag dispenser outside on the property, but there were no bags in it. Thankfully, I had one in my pocket. Besides the coffee, those were small issues in the grand scheme of things.

Location and our daughter's family was there

Breakfast coupon- given to my husband and I but server used it for the two cheapest meals rather than what my husband and I ordered. We chose to treat our daughter's family.
