My Fiance and I love this location! It’s our favorite to stay at when we come in to Harrisburg. It’s warm and inviting and has everything you need right around it. O’Reillys is also our favorite restaurant to eat, It’s super convenient that it’s attached to the hotel so no need to leave the building. The pool/ arcade area is great for kids and any adult.
