Top State Museum of Pennsylvania Hotel Reviews

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

"Better directions to get to the parking behind the property, cause you can’t see the signs from the street"

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!"
