Top Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts Hotel Reviews

Hilton Harrisburg

10/10 Excellent

"Very responsive staff, Ad Lib restaurant was excellent and an outstanding shower!"

The Shipoke Brickhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place ."

Hotel Hanna

8/10 Good

"Overall great stay everything was clean and comfy."

Charming Downtown Harrisburg Victorian Home- Walkable & Central

10/10 Excellent

"The property is “generally” a spacious 3 floor Victorian home that was very clean and comfortable. I say “generally” because the home has several updates that tend to be more modern than Victorian. The bedrooms and beds are nice and comfortable. Though we did not use the kitchen, it appeared to be well equipped. The Host was very quick to respond to questions. The check in and check out were both quick and painless. A couple of cautions about this property. Two of the bedrooms are on the second floor and one is on the third, both floors accessible via a narrow winding staircase that I would not consider easily accessible by someone with a mobility issue. Also, while there is street parking adjacent to the property, we were lucky to get one space halfway down the block which would not have been available were we staying at this property on a weekday. There was other parking possibly around the corner, but that still was quite some distance from the front door of the property. All-in-All, we enjoyed our stay and would consider it again."

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."

10/10 Excellent

"Nice space. Clean & just what we were looking for. Stay for 2 months while working. Everyone was friendly & communication with host was excellent."

Historic Downtown Loft

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely gorgeous apartment, so well restored and upgraded. The kitchen is amazing! They maximize the space of the loft so that it feels airy and spacious. The location is perfect, so easy to everything. And Jonathan is an ace at communication and hospitality. Couldn’t recommend this apartment highly enough!"

"Very Satisfied with my stay. Clean, safe and convenient. Will definitely stay again. Best Regards, Jay"

PP 1301 Modern Corporate 2br, pool, Gym

8/10 Good

"The host and property management were very responsive. We stayed for 1 month and it was very comfortable. Only issue is the freight train that passes by each night. Can be annoying when you are trying to sleep. "
