This property was the highest price hotel i looked at for this visit. First day trip to swi.ming pool, heated, nice until we see a bloody bandaid laying in the pool. Second day the bloody bandaid still there so obviously pool is not cleaned daily. The sosp, shampoo holder in our shower was so scummy underneath it fell off the ledge intto the tub. Underneath was slimy, also sosp scum spots on shower walls. Spoke to the desk attendant on Saturday morning who assured us it would be cleaned. It was NOT!!! Boyfriend tried to soak in tub and the plug didnt work. 4th floor end of hall window looks like a 3 yr old swiped it yo clean it. Elevator floors were DISGUSTING all weekend, were NOT mopped!!! Orange juice appeared to be very watered down on Saturday morning.....otherwise breakfast wasokay. For $541 this was UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!

Finally found a good one
This hotel has become my favorite hotel for my regular trip back and forth from NC to NY. A little pricey but worth it.. There is nothing so refreshing after driving 8 hours then to walk into a nice clean hotel room that looks good and smells good... Thank you Holiday Inn Express...

Hotel is immediately off the exit, which we liked a lot. Room was good. It was a room for 6. Many breakfast options. Pool opens very early and stays open late. Coffee available 24-7. Other beverages for sale behind the counter late night if needed. Hershey park is about 40 mins away but an easy drive.

Everything was fine; they should have 'Ice' available on 1st floor. Seemed inconvenient to go to another floor; especially up a level for ice. No big deal. Thanks
