I think it was a good place to stay most of the things to do ate 18 and older. So my kids were pretty board we did go to target and get some board games. They enjoyed the pool for a little.
We enjoyed our stay at the Red Lion hotel. The staff were wonderful and so friendly. My daughter loved the pool and the playground. All the amenities were very nice. The rooms were large and the beds were comfortable. The room was clean just a little bit of crumbs on the carpet by the window. We would definitely stay here again!
The lobby was very nice and staff was friendly and accommodating. It served its purpose but I wouldn’t call it a nice hotel. The room was dingy with terrible pillows and a stained bedspread. No luggage rack in the room. The lighting is terrible in the room. The bathroom lighting makes you look jaundiced. The bathroom floor was dirty and so was the door which didn’t close properly.
My family enjoyed our one night stay here. We spent the day at Hersey Park and found this amazing hotel to stay for the night. We arrived late night and the staff was so accommodating. Check in was awesome. We received an upgrade of our room and an extended checkout time. We were assisted with our bags and received extra bedding for our room. Rooms were clean. In the morning, we ate breakfast and went swimming in the indoor pool since it was raining outside. We will be back.
This hotel was good overall. They have a diner inside arcades indoor pool outdoor pool a gym and so many good things any family would want and its location is super convenient they have a sheetz right next door that's 24hrs and so many other places to eat. The only issues I had was the room smell the room looked super clean overall but smelled like cigarettes very very strong smell it was so annoying.

The property is a bit dated but everything was available and in working order. The staff was great.
The hotel was great, clean rooms, the pool and hot tub were nice and the Staff were excepcional. I was greeted kindly and they even held conversation with it dragging or being awkward. Jon especially was extremely helpful when I needed help and gave quick and easy assistance while remaining kind and welcoming. I will definitely be recommending this hotel.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. If I had a question or minor issue, the fixed it right away. They were very kind to my nieces who were 13 and I respect that because many places can tend to be rude to children, especially when the adult is not present.
It is definitely a kid friendly hotel, and I am happy I picked this because it was a last minute trip! The girls were satisfied and so was I ! They wanted to extend the stay ! We will be back !
Great amenities, pet and kid-friendly, restaurant food and service was amazing, and staff is awesome! We love staying here for all our trips to Hershey.
We loved the family suite and how nice the hot was! 20 minutes to Hershey park and lots of dining options within minutes from the hotel for us.

The hot tub is outside and closed. The pool was warm but no steps just ladders but still nice for a swim. But the staff was so nice probably the best part of this hotel.
Stay was short; in town for high school football and did not take advantage of the bar/food. Decorated nicely for the upcoming holiday;staff very friendly.
We were happy to find a Red Lion Hotel close to our state since we love the one in Kissimmee, FL. The parking here is huge and free, which is a big plus. The hotel is larger than the one in Florida, but it is older, so the rooms could use some updating. Still, everything was clean and comfortable.
The location is quiet and relaxing. My kids really enjoyed the indoor pool. The outdoor pool was closed, but we’re planning to come back in the summer to try it and the hot tub. There are restaurants everywhere and lots of parks and museums nearby, so it’s a good place for a family weekend.
It's a really nice hotel. Lots of unusual and appreciated features for traveling families including the pools, arcade, game room and more. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful - terrific service.
