Horrible experience

One of the desk clerks harassed my wife while she was sitting outside demanding to know her room number and saying it was so he could “cross check her with the room”. He got into her face demanding to know her name and room and she refused saying that the room was booked under my name (her husband. She didn’t change her last name when we got married). When she walked into the lobby he once again accosted her asking her for this information. My friends and I had just gone out and she called me extremely upset asking us to come back because she was scared and shaking. She locked herself in our room until we got back. When I heard all of this I asked the desk clerk what had happened and he denied everything. He said he was just asking to confirm she was a guest. (We had been there since the previous day). Upon checkout I spoke with the manager on duty (possibly the owner) and he was apologetic saying he would deal with the employee as well as refund our stay and call me the following day. Never called, never credited anything. He also said he’d credit my friends room being their shower had over two inches of water in it and he had said on our first day that he’d send a plumber to take care of it. No plumber ever showed up and his excuse was that he told the plumber to come and he never did. Horrible experience all around.

Nope

I reserved 3 rooms for me and my coworkers. All 3 rooms were dirty. One had a broken shower curtain and one had bugs on the desk in the morning. We only stayed the one night and cancelled the remaining rooms. The staff seemed to be new. The general manager was very nice.

It was decent place to lay your head down. The room is awkward positioned and little small. The pool looked cloudy, but pretty, never got the chance to use it. There for a concert, easy access to and from, wish it had shuttle service.

Disliked: Staff & service
I did not stay due to my daughter being sick and unable to travel 400 miles. I couldn’t talk to the hotel directly since I booked through Expedia. When I reached out to Expedia who said they called the hotel directly and spoke to the manager to explain my situation, the hotel would not refund the money for the two rooms I had booked. They would not even refund one of the rooms. So basically, I paid for two hotel rooms I did not get to use. I think it’s really sad that a company of this size would not refund 2 hotel rooms due to my situation. I do not recommend Expedia or Holiday Inn.

Worst Hotel ever

I stayed with my family at Holiday Inn Harrisburg on the night of August 17, and it was the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had. * First, we were given Room 328, which had a strong mold smell. * After complaining, we were moved to Room 125. In the middle of the night, we felt something crawling on us and discovered ants all over the bed. * When I reported this to the front desk, the staff brushed it off as if it was normal and not a big deal. * Finally, we were moved to Room 105, but again found ants on the floor and table. We are a family of four, including two kids, and this was not only extremely uncomfortable but also unacceptable. I never expected this from a Holiday Inn property. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Definitely would not recommend this hotel.
