Candlewood Suites Harrisburg I-81 - Hershey Area

Love it there

IF YOU'RE CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY DO NOT CHOOSE THIS HOTEL! My stay was3/11/23. I booked 2 rooms for son&friends to celebrate his 10th bday with swimming. As a lot of parents do. But most don't book more than 1 room. I did! Soon as the manager heard it was my son bday she warned me having a party was grounds to leave. I was confused what constitutes a party vs a celebration? She continued to SPY on us. Everyone felt uncom-fortable.I've stayed in plenty of hotels. I can't recall a single time when manager comes in the pool area a few times not cleaning or bringing towels.Instead standing and watching my family; initiating conversation with guests thats also now staring at us. It can be an assumption but it was obvious they were talking about my family. My visual it seemed more important to her that the White guests were conformtable with our AA presence than her being hospitable. She overrode my parenting giving my children rules to not jump in the pool. As the mother that upset me. I seen no issue with it. She said because others couldn't swim.(3 white kids that retreated to a corner soon as my kids got in the pool before the jumping.Being anti-black or shy )There is no sign "no jumping in pool". my kids were jumping in on the side of the pool on the opposite end being encouraged by a few teenage kids. We felt targeted. It felt like when a retail employee is following you in the store watching you to make sure you don't steal. NEVER WILL I SUPPORT THIS HOTEL AGAIN

A clean simple room. Good for a sleep on a long journey. There is no breakfast included and the heating unit in the room is noisy.

There were old dirty towels on the floor from previous guests. Front attendant was out for a smoke when we arrived and we waited at front desk for 10 minutes before she returned. Room was spacious, beds were comfy, but over all the room felt dirty and in clean. I will never stay there again.

Room was quite large and contained a full kitchenette. Hotel offers free guest laundry 24/7. Firm and soft bed pillows with embroidery labels on the pillow case edge was a great touch.

Close to highway

This was an unexpected gem that I selected for its easy access to I-81. The employees were very friendly, kind and helpful, and my room was fabulous. Planning to stop here again on future travels.

This property is disgusting. I would never stay there again. I actually am pissed off that I even paid my room had coffee all over the back of the door. The counters and cabinets had oil stuck all over them. There was women’s hair in the shower soap from a bar of soap, dried up and caked in the soap tray Floors were filthy stuff under the bed. Things removed from the wall patched not painted not sanded just big white blotches.

The room smell musty. The staff is very rude will never stay again. The front desk staff was never at the front always on their phones. This is the worst experience ever the hotel smelled like cigarette smoke will never stay again horrible stay
