Hotels near Riverfront Park, Harrisburg

My wife and I stayed at the Manor on Front in Harrisburg on a Friday and Saturday night. Why? Harrisburg was the halfway point between Cape Cod, which was the first leg of our vacation, and our home. All we wanted was a place to split up the trip reduce driving time in a single day. We found the Manor on **********. It looked good and so we took a chance. I am sure glad we did. We were traveling with our bicycles. The area and neighborhood are very nice and appear safe. Nonetheless, the owners allowed us to store our bikes in the garage for our piece of mind. There is a bike trail directly across the street from the property and we rode for ten miles from there without ever hitting a main road. It was a blast. The room itself was spacious with a huge chair and ottoman. The bed was comfortable. Water was hot with good pressure. There was a common fridge down the hall where we could store some wine. There were chairs on the front lawn, which we used to watch two incredible sunsets across the river. Bars and restaurants are a short drive/uber or a medium walk (Less than 2 miles). The breakfast was delicious. I can’t say enough about this place. It was incredible. The property has small event room/venue. It seats about 60 people and on Saturday night there was a beautiful concert by a lady named Muriel Anderson. She sang and played the guitar and harp guitar. The hosts invited us to the event, which was sold out, but I believe they kept a few seats in reserve for guests staying at the BnB. We jumped at the offer and loved it. That concert, the warmth and kindness of our hosts, and the friendliness of all those we met in Harrisburg were the highlights of our vacation. We will will definitely be back to Harrisburg and when we do we would never dream of staying anywhere other than Manor on Front.

We booked two nights at The Staybridge Suites during the start of our vacation when visiting Hershey Park. It was easy to find, just off the highway, and not far from the Park, as well. The parking lot and grounds were excellent. Lobby clean and modern and the front desk staff super friendly. They had carts to help us bring in our luggage. Plenty of handicap parking, as well as Electric Vehicle charging stations (I think 4 of them). Our only complaint was the number of storage containers scattered about the parking lot taking up many parking spots, leaving late arrivers (like us) few options to park. The front desk said we could park on the grass if necessary. The room was very large, with a refrigerator, stove, breakfast bar, and even plates and utensils. The beds were awesome. Big fluffy supportive beds with large pillows. Shower was good, also, with lots of hot water, supplied soap and shampoo dispensers, and good pressure. Everything was super clean. We left a tip for the cleaning staff on a job well done. Breakfast was eggs, sausage (patties on day 1, links on day 2), waffles, cereal, and bagels. Breakfast area was cleaned up constantly and items refilled. So a perfect stay!

Excellent local , decent prices, clean,courteous staff,repeat customer, will stay their again, close to attractions of the area, like that it is on the main route ,make getting to places easy and fun.....

So, the parking experience alone was off putting, I thought I was going to lose the top of my Gladiator, old dirty and tight. The trip from my car to the hotel was dirty and disenchanting and made me afraid of the experience that might be before me. Once I finally completed the very long trek from the lot through what looks like a dirty bus terminal I made the journey down a very long hallway through the conference center filled with people up the stairs onto another elevator down the hallway of dirty unpainted doors finally to my room. Now the big moment, I open my door. The room actually isn’t bad but what I had to do to get to it was a bit much. The restaurant was very nice with a lovely wine selection although I only had the white sangria. My server was as dry as 3 day old croutons and when my food came out she never came to ask if it was okay. She finally came over and said how are you doing over here, I thought am I at a spa or a restaurant? Oh how the mighty have fallen! Let’s just say my room motivated me to go out and buy an air filter. I probably wouldn’t stay again if I found a better option. I’d probably just stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites. I meant to take more pictures of the ugliness, sorry!

Valet service is atrocious. Check on your vehicle, it might go missing and Crown will not care. Attended a conference and stayed there. Had paid valet parking. Valet on duty was rude from the beginning. I was given a ticket told to leave my keys on the dashboard and it will be taken into the lot. Came down to the lobby five hours later. Only to find my car still sitting at the front lobby, right next to the road, unlocked with the keys still on the dash. Making, it that anyone could have taken it. Upon inquiring about why this happened. I was appalled to find my vehicle was never checked into Crown system and got a significant amount of excuses, but not a valid reason for the kind of error made. Anyone could have made claim to my car or simply just got into it and drove off because the key was very visible if you came close enough to it. Asked about the process of making a formal complaint based on the severity of the issue. Was given the run around throughout the rest of the stay by the the manager on duty, the valet manager and both the general and assistant general manager. Everytime I contacted them, I was treated with disdain. My two days there was very stressful because I was worried about the safety of vehicle. I would never recommend staying there if you want peace of mind and relaxation.

We have stayed here twice in the last 3 months. We chose to stay here again because of its location and cleanliness. The beds were very comfortable. Will stay there again on our next trip South.

The whole building smells musty and there's NO air in any common areas. Our room had been untouched since the last guests (we got there well after check in). No apologies, no reimbursement. We just had to wait over an hour in the heat and of course had no time to shower or nap before the event we came for. (while 7 months pregnant-obviously that's not their fault but it was beyond necessary and they should have the room ready before they give us a key) They were ”fully booked” but while we sat waiting they took a reservation for today and said they had ”just one” room that was EXACTLY what we had and then mentioned to another worker that they had THREE. Not sure why we couldn't get one of those, or one of the several rooms for people we watched check in AFTER us. Someone else came to let them know the air didn't work in their room and they said it was just too low and couldn't keep up, even after they said they had turned it down and it wasnt working BEFORE, and without checking it at all. (Even if that was truly the problem make a note if you dont want it below a certain temperature, and maybe upgrade so people who pay good money can be comfortable) Someone else complained of a leaking sink and damage in the bathroom, and ANOTHER complainef that their shower wasn't draining and they just gave them a plunger to deal with it themselves. When we finally got back to the room, it somehow smelled worse (like a public bathroom) and the bottle of conditioner was half used (that wasn't there at all before so I'm sure they collect them when people leave and reuse) This is the most expensive hotel we've ever stayed at, even booked months in advance (probably because of the location) but it was definitely not worth even the $70 or $80 you can get a motel for.

Sleek, stylish, and contemporary. Situated on a hilltop overlooking the highways and shopping centers, Hotel Indigo outshines the nearby competition - particularly at night when gold accents highlight the building. It was by chance that we were relocated to this hotel after another IHG hotel (Candlewood Suites Harrisburg-Hershey) extended the stay of another group of guests and indicated that we could cancel or move to another property. The hotel is striking from the start. Gold accents on the exterior immediately set the tone for an elevated experience. The lobby and dining areas are large and comfortable, with an outdoor pool and bar area complementing the first floor. The elevators are also striking in their finish and decor - the ride is the same, but these elevators really are impressive in their styling. Our room was reasonably large with ample space for a king size bed, sitting chair, desk chair, and table top desk area that ran the length of the room across the window. The decor was simple yet stylish and (as with every IHG property that we have enjoyed) featured amazing pillows and bed linens. The usual amenities are present (hair dryer, ironing board, luggage valet) and overall it was a very nice stay. Although breakfast is not included with the stay, the onsite restaurant offered a very nice menu. Our Commonwealth platter featured freshly prepared eggs, pancakes, hash brown patties, and the best bacon I have ever eaten. The restaurant staff went out of their way to ensure that every request was met and that everything was to our satisfaction. They are a credit to this location and I would encourage guests to pay the little bit extra and start their day here. Michelle (at the front desk in the morning) also went out of her way to make sure that our stay was satisfactory - thank you. In the end, we are happy that Candlewood management and IHG Guest Relations worked to ensure that we had a room during this very busy September week. Moreover, we are thrilled to have experienced what another brand in the IHG family has to offer. Hotel Indigo won't work for all of our travel plans, but it is great to have another option with IHG - especially one that offers a step up in luxury and stylishness.
