Lower Paxton Township Hotels with Pools

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. I'd say 3 1/2 but didn't see that as a choice. It's a nice newly-renovated hotel conveniently located between Harrisburg and Hershey. It's great for one or two nights. The front desk clerk Antonio was friendly and gave us early check-in. The breakfast was good and there were workers cleaning the public areas throughout the day. So what didn't we like. The rooms are smallish. To their credit the space is well ordered and the small bathroom had nice storage areas. The hook on the back of bathroom door is useless for hanging towels. Better hooks and more drying bars would help. The walls are thinner than we'd like. We could hear the TV from the room next to us. There is a nice pool and hot tub but the apron around the pool is so narrow that there's no room for chaise lounge chairs. The chairs in the pool area are not comfortable. So if you enjoy reading and laying around the pool it won't happen. Off the pool there is a patio area with comfortable chairs with cushions and tables. But the area is kind of bleak and no umbrellas for tables. So no shade. All in all you won't be disappointed but you might not be thrilled. Again, it's great for a night or two if you're out all day visiting the sights.

We travel frequently and can say without a doubt that this was the worse experience ever of a hotel . We went to checkin and was given a basement room (who knew those existed ) that reeked of mold . The sheets were damp , the air was moist and the entire room was completely underground . The “fire exit” was a metal corrugated tube with an unstable ladder that you would have to climb up the tube to get out of !!! We tried to remedy this situation but the person in reception refused to find us another room , instead telling us we should have told him we were allergic to mold when we booked the hotel ! As if it would have been fine otherwise ! Although there were other rooms that people had not checked into yet, the person refused to switch rooms. Upon my insistence , he called his manager who he claims also refused to change the room . We asked to speak to the manager and was denied . We were told they would refund the room rate but would not be given a different room . We asked for proof of the refund that they said they would process and was told they couldn’t give us printed proof . Since we were now 3 hours from home without a place to stay with a young child , we called Choice Hotels customer service . They were actually really helpful - however , when they reached out to the Comfort Inn, they claimed we hadn’t been there ! Luckily we had the confirmation number that proved otherwise . Choice hotels found us another room at their expense in a hotel 10 min away and told us that if we weren’t refunded, we should dispute with our credit card company . This morning , we get an email saying the room was charged to my credit card ! Which it had been when we prepaid but possibly charged again instead of refunded . Called my credit card company who was super helpful and disputed the charge . In short … moldy basement room , awful customer service and lied in their communications . Do not stay here !!

Overall, it was a comfortable stay. The room was large and had good AC. We did not try breakfast. The staff was helpful, and there was plenty of parking available. It was good value for the stay. The room was fairly quiet, which is always a good thing.

My recent stay far exceeded my expectations! From the moment you walk in you are welcomed by the very friendly and helpful staff. But that friendly atmosphere is carried by everyone working there that I encountered. From the cleaning staff to the maintenance crew… everyone smiled and quick to say “Hello” or “How are you today?”. Having not been to this hotel in a while, I returned to find it newly renovated and it looks amazing. I couldn’t have been more impressed with my room with its simple touches that made it comfortable and relaxing. Whenever I head back to the Harrisburg/Hershey area, this will be my go to place!
