Top State Museum of Pennsylvania Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hanna

8/10 Good

"Overall great stay everything was clean and comfy."

Hilton Harrisburg

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and staff was amazing. Restaurants were great too"

Crowne Plaza Harrisburg-Hershey by IHG

8/10 Good

"I always wipe the bathroom down at the very least when I get into a room and when I did it here there was nothing coming up! Clean from the toilet to the tub. Wiped the room down and it was the same. Pretty small room. Didn’t go to the restaurant. But liked the location as well. I normally catch the train in so now I know this place is right around the corner (5 minute walk). Paid for parking beforehand and it was the best decision they have a valet service. Checked out the concessions they had didn’t look interesting to me looked cold and unappealing, but there were many ppl buying food and coffee they serve Starbucks coffee (just the coffee, none of their food items). There is a fridge in the room and a microwave in the lobby."

Historic Harrisburg Home

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean! Host was awesome to work with!!"

Flats on Front - Riverfront Gem, Fast Wi-Fi, 2F

8/10 Good

"This apertment was well stocked and clean. We enjoyed our brief stay there. I didn't bring my tools to tighten down the commode seat though. Not a big deal. As a senior, I think it's important to know the flat is a 2nd story apartment. Wooden steps in the back where you park were slick in the rain for me to carry up our luggage and small cooler. The steps need skid tape. Front Steps to get in were narrow and not easily accessible to carry things in. Loved Harrisburg and Hershey."

Historic Riverfront Steampunk Loft w/ River Views

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment is cute and right off the water front. Great location. The host is responsive. Will definitely stay again."

Midtown Studio w/ Bath & Kitchen- Walk To Restaurants & Nightlife!

10/10 Excellent

"The previous reviews mention parking issues, but on my last day there in mid-August, 2026, they found a way to get visitors a parking pass. Wasn't helpful for me, but definitely better for you! So, I would disregard any review mentioning parking troubles. It definitely was a hassle, but you shouldn't have to worry about that anymore. My only complaint is that the dishes weren't clean, it's like they just trusted the last visitor to make sure they were clean. So, I washed every dish on my 2nd day there. I like that household things like sugar and coffee filters were there, but the lip gloss and foundation that were half used and in the bathroom cupboard were kinda questionable. Overall though, communication was great with the owner, it's close to downtown nightlife, the room was as clean as advertised, I felt safe and clean. When my door locks batteries were dying, they had more waiting for me before I even knew it was an issue. This ain't the owners fault, but like in any city, make sure you lock your car doors, had 27 dollars taken from my console. Again, not the owners fault, but is relevant if you're staying in the area. 10/10 for my actual room experience tho! Clean, quiet, exactly as advertised!"
