Top Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts Hotel Reviews

Hilton Harrisburg

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Crowne Plaza Harrisburg-Hershey by IHG

8/10 Good

"Just your basic downtown Harrisburg PA hotel, very mid. Nothing went wrong, the front desk staff and valet were professional. It's just an old hotel and not in the classic way. The bathroom was small but was newly remodeled -- that was the best part of the room. Friendly advice -- the thermostat on the hotel water heater could be trimmed at 180F instead of letting it go all the way up to 212F. The hotel restaurant was dim and antiquated, the food and service was acceptable."

PP 2107 Beautiful 1Br Apartment I Free Parking

6/10 Okay

"The stay was a decent value for the money. Pet friendly, and the building staff are very nice. The laundry facility and vending services on site are very good. However, the building is right above a rail station and active rail line with trains passing through every 20 to 30 minutes, 24 hours a day. The building is supposed to have a quiet time of 8pm, but it was not uncommon to have people stomping or screaming in the hallways at midnight. The stove didn't work, or had the gas turned off, so I wasn't able to make food, which isn't a big deal, but still disappointing. Overall, for the price, it wasn't bad, but it's definitely not an "Upscale" or "Beautiful" apartment by any means."
