Radisson Hotel Harrisburg, Camp Hill

When we booked this hotel, we were told the hotel was full, however when we arrived there were approximately 5 cars in the lot and it looked like a ghost town. There were 3 in our party, and 5 in our friends. When our friends and I checked in, there was a strong gas smell in their room. There was a maintenance worker in the hall who immediately called a supervisor and was told that that particular room vented the gas pipes from the dryers. When my family and went it to check our room there as a distinct arom of Raid. When we opened the curtains to find a thick layer of dead bugs. The window was just below the exterior light which was an apparent draw for the bugs. The arm chair had a huge stain on it, the wall paper was filthy, and there was a thick layer of dust on the furniture as well hair on top of the furniture (YUK). We all called the front desk and asked for our rooms to be changed due to dead bugs, bug spray smell, gas smell, dust, and gross furniture. We had asked the maintenance guy if the Hotel was full and he just rolled his eyes saying "no" there are lots of empty rooms. The next rooms were the same, with hair on the bathroom floor, not to mention carpet stains and dead beetles on the floor. We immediately checked out and drove to Lancaster where we stayed at the Willow Valley Resort. Although this is not a new hotl, it is very clean and for only $20 more per night at $99 we were given a very clean room, two large restaurants, three swimming pools, (2 indoor), a game room, playground, golf course, carriage rides, gift shop etc. We only had to drive 40 minutes the next day to get to Hershey Park, returning to Lancaster for the remainder of our trip. We also asked the Radisson about there so called "Sleep Number Beds" that they advertise. We were told that they do have a "few" of those beds but apparently those room cost more per night. I thought that was deceptive. They also advertise that there rooms have been refurfished but the furniture (all but the armoire's) were old and dingy. The beds looked gross too. I read tons of reviews before booking this hotel and none of them were really great in the Hershey area but this one didn't seem as bad as some of the others. It's so hard to book a hotel based on reviews so I hope this helps. Also, the main picture on my confirmation from the Radisson wasn't even a picture of this hotel. It was a picture of the city about 1/4 mile down the road across the river. Don't waste your time or money here. If your traveling to Hershey Park and Chocolate World, stay in Lancaster. There are lots of better hotels there and the Strausburg, Intercourse area that are a better deal and the drive is quite nice. Plus the restaurants, site seeing, shops, minature golf and so much more in Lancaster is great. We really enjoyed the Good and Plenty Restaurant. All you can eat for $14.95 for adults, $7.95 for kids and served family style. Good Luck on your searches.
