Stefanie, Thank you for your review and feedback. The rooms aren't huge, and this was there plan. The idea was to get you out of your room, visit and enjoy our large lobby and enjoy all Hershey has to offer. We understand not all guests enjoy this but not to worry, there are 22 Hilton brands to choose from! We hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise and we look forward to hosting you again soon!

I loved that it was a quick 20 minute walk to Hershey Theatre in a very nice beautiful neighborhood. We had to go to a concert and for us the walk was perfect, didn't have to worry about the parking let alone 1900 people trying to get out of the parking lot at the same time so it worked for us. This hotel is close to everything. Even though we didn't go to Hershey Park it is right up the road and the outlet mall is a quick drive away also. The staff was all so nice and generous, which is just refreshing to experience again at hotels, it isn't always the case at other hotels but any staff we encountered was fantastic! We were night owls due to the concert being late and a weekday where everyone else staying was up at 6am on the dot ready to roll for their day and you knew it! LOL, as annoying as that was it is expected and thankfully we are normally morning people. Breakfast was breakfast, nothing to write home about, it did the job and I am happy it is included. Love that coffee and tea was 24/7 and if you were hungry or thirsty they have a great snack collection. Fridge in room but no coffee maker or microwave, but having coffee 24/7 it worked out and they do have a microwave by their snack bar if you need to re-heat anything :) I would definitely stay at this location again.

Thought the hotel was brand new . Room looked crisp and clean . Everything was modern and updated. The lobby had games to play and the staff was very friendly when I interacted. The hotel was walking distance to downtown Hershey PA. The hotel was in a unique setting , literally surrounded by small one family homes felt so friendly and inviting. Not industrial at all . There was plenty of parking that was well lit . Overall excellent hotel

The over all hotel and staff was great. The room size was extremely small though. There was also no tub it was a stand up shower and that didn’t work for the youngest child. The staff was friendly though.

Thank you for your review. The Tru by Hilton brand is one of the newest in the Hilton Portfolio and offers a more modernized style of accommodations. Its minimal yet meaningful, all TRU hotels are built with stand up showers vs a bath tub, it eliminates closet space and drawers, but offering alternatives for storage throughout the room, replacing bottles of shampoo/soaps with bulk dispensers, etc. The Tru rooms are built smaller as we recommend spending your time out visiting Hershey or spend time in our very unique lobby space to relax, work, play and chew. We hope you visit us again in the future!

Our stay was in one word “Horrible” it had nothing to do with the staff or hotel itself, The hotel was booked with what seemed like hundreds of teenagers that ran wild all night long, banging on our door constantly until about 2:00 a.m. before it finally stopped. I call called multiple time to complain but the nonsense continued. The staff was completely overwhelmed and it seemed that they could not do a thing about it, the group in room 508 were the main culprits, but there were other groups as well. The non- responsible parents were all in the lobby getting wasted. I walked down to get coffee and observed beer boxes everywhere, to much profanity to name and just a complete crab show in the lobby, the front desk clerk walked by me and literally looked scared for her safety. The staff did try to contact a coach and they stated “ it seemed as they did not care” Unfortunately my wife and I did had to confront the teens on our own, fortunately for us and Hilton it did not escalate to anything physical. I would suggest looking at the camera and identify the room that was causing this. My guess is 508, reach out to whoever rented the room and ban them for life. I will be reaching out to management and demanding a full refund.

Excellent stay!
We had such an excellent stay here! The hotel was very clean throughout. The manager and front desk clerks were exceptionally kind and friendly. The rooms are pretty sparse, but we didn’t miss any of the frills and the beds were really comfy. We enjoyed the all day coffee bar in the lobby. Breakfast was typical hotel fare, but the buffet area was clean and well stocked. The only drawbacks to this hotel were that the rooms aren’t sound proofed super well, so hall noise and noise from other rooms was a little loud. In addition, the hotel is located in a residential neighborhood and not in walking distance to restaurants. The hotel does a nice job of providing convenience foods for sale in the lobby, but an onsite restaurant would be so great here.

Great trip
We had a great time, free breakfast was good, place was clean, check in and out was super easy. Plenty of parking. Only 2 downfalls- 1) pool was so heavily chlorinated that my daughter's bathing suit changed color! 2) WiFi wasn't free unless you were an honors member!?! What's up with that?! Oh yeah and games in lobby were a great add on

Thank you so much for writing a review about your recent stay with us. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Our team takes pride in making sure each and every guest has a memorable stay. We're sorry to hear that you had issues with the pool. We actually don't have a chlorinated pool here. The pool is a heated Salt water pool. Is it possible that the suit had a reaction to the salt water? WiFi is free for all Hilton Honors members at all Hilton hotels and joining Hilton Honors is completely free! I personally love utilizing the digital key as I always forget my key in the room when I take my daughter to the pool but never remember until I'm standing outside my door after a swim. We're glad that you and your family were able to enjoy the variety of games that we have in the lobby! I love watching how excited everyone gets for the foosball tables! Can't wait to see you again the next time you're in town!
