Horrible Place To Stay – Posted Mar 23, 2009
by animalfriend  (1 reviews)
   
         
Horrible
60 year old with a moderate budget, traveling for business

The man at the front desk was extremely rude. After checking in and specifically requesting a pet room, when I entered carrying my 7-pound dog, the man spoke to us abruptly. We apologized for not understanding him (he spoke very poor English) and he started shouting at us. When we still didn't understand, he went behind the desk and starting waving papers, while continuing to shout. I finally made out "Plus 10 dollar!" and realized he was referring to the pet fee. When I said I knew there was a pet fee, he yelled "Yes! Yes!" We requested a pet room and made no effort to hide the fact that we had a dog. We fully intended to pay the pet fee without being screamed at - which actually frightened my dog. As we were walking away, he began shouting again. I still couldn't understand him, but I did make out "No smoking!" We had requested a nonsmoking room. Had it not been so late, we would have left on the spot.

The room was filthy. The desk area was grimy, the chair had stuffing coming from a large tear in the fabric, the refrigerator was so disgusting I wouldn't use it for my dog's water, the bedspread was stained, as was the side of the mattress. There were two flimsy pillows (for 2 people) and two small, thin bath towels. There was no bathtub - not that we intended to bathe in the dirty bathroom.

The breakfast was sparse and the advertised "free cappuccino bar" was nonexistent. When I asked the girl at the desk about it the next morning, she said the machine was broken and had been removed. At least she was polite and understandable.

This was the first time I've stayed at HJ in more than 15 years - and will be my last. It was horrible.

Okay

The service changes depending on who is at the front desk. Some are very nice and helpful, others act like you are bothering them and unhelpful.

When I asked for a map of the area-- I was told to look around the corner at the rack of...

Good

The fam and I had 2 rooms for a long weekend at Hershey Park. The rooms were ok, nothing special. For the most part they were clean. The breakfast was pretty good, a half a step above your average continental. Problem is that there is hardly enough...
