Hilton Harrisburg
Staff was ok. The hotel surroundings and access was dirty. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for families. There are a lot of homeless folks in the area and the parking garage is sketchy.

Friendly employees. Comfy bed. My only nitpicks would be room 201 has strange noise from AC unit. Had to turn it off to sleep and bathroom fan made strange noises too.
