Palmyra Motel, Palmyra

Priceline did a number on me by booking this place (with a Priceline 2 star rating) rather than something nicer and closer to Hershey. I will NEVER use PRICELINE's "name your own price" to book lodging again. Good: Decent sized room, queen beds available, newly renovated rooms Bad: Price WAY too high for location, beds/matresses are older and noisy (squeak when you roll over), noisy location of motel - right between train tracks and Main street (with trains rolling by throughout the night), room smelled damp/musty, noisy air conditioning units, farthest motel from Hershey park (~3 miles) Overall, this place is not bad IF YOU WANT A MOTEL. My family and I really wanted a hotel with an indoor pool (as most in the 2 star class are listed on Priceline). Here's what Priceline did: I bid $100 per night on the "name your own price" and they booked me in this place. However, when I checked the retail rate, it was LESS than $100 per night. So, rather than canceling the contract and reservation after I complained, Priceline merely refunded me the difference (plus 10% = $10 -- whoopie!). Where's the BIG SAVINGS? Save yourself -- use an alternative travel site (Yahoo! Travel, etc.) to find and book lodging. STAY AWAY FROM PRICELINE -- They are liars and thieves.

This review is a bit late but well deserved. Our family stayed here for one night while in town for the Hershey RV show. Originally we wanted to stay at the Hershey Hotel, but no rooms were available. We travel frequently but haven't stayed at a MOTEL since the early eighties. We always travel with a sense of adventure in mind. When we read the NEGATIVE review of the Palmyra motel, that stated it was over priced for a HOTEL, we decided to give it a try...Maybe these people caught the place on a bad night. Anyway, we found the service to be excellent. The owners were friendly and helpful. The rooms were not new, but well maintained and most importantly CLEAN. The location was perfect for getting to Hershey and much less crowded. We have stayed at HOTELS that cost five and six times as much that we would never recommend. But come next September we'll be making a reservation at the Palmyra while in town for the RV show...Thanks for having a nicely run facility...

For the past three years, I've been staying at the Palmyra Motel.......I find the rooms comfortable and clean. They could upgrade their TV's to accept A/V cables for portable DVD players. I usually stay only one night.
