Harrisburg - Hershey, Pennsylvania Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Nice Spacious Rooms. Clean And Just Minutes From Hershey

There was a missing aerator on the sink and torn bed spread otherwise fine and certainly worth the price.

Although this hotel is really a roadside Motel, you won't find a more quaint and friendly place to bunk in Hershey. Your room will be clean and there are no bedbugs. The Air Conditioner works and the water is hot when you need a shower. You've got a fridge and microwave oven and you feel safe enough to sleep with the door wide open! Yes, the carpet needed changed 17 years ago and the bedspreads are uglier than mud, but the sheets are fresh and clean and you can watch the owners carry the piles of clean linens around when they do their morning housekeeping. Now, about the owners...I'll just call them "new Americans" who are working night and day on their American Dream. They will greet you with a smile and a kind word and you'll see them doing the housekeeping the next morning. They have a small fridge in the tiny lobby with water and soda for weary travelers or dehydrated and amused park people. The rare occurrence of seeing a bowl on the tiny fridge to promote the honor system in paying for your refreshments is unheardof these days. You'll find that trust and hospitality here.

Room was clean, staff was friendly. No problems with check in/out. Room had a very strange odor to it. Halls were kind of noisy at 11pm when I was trying to sleep... but I would stay here again.

We needed a place to lay our heads for 2 nights as we attended a class picnic at Hershey Park. We were looking to save money as Hershey Park is not close to home and we were not looking forward to traveling the same days as the picnic. We'd prefer a place that served breakfast and an indoor year round pool. Yet figuring in the added cost for those locations, this place meet our needs. A refrigerator/microwave were provided so the cost of taking our own breakfast items was minimal. The pool was not open as it is seasonal since it is located outside, we stay in Mid-May. The room was clean, no more crowded than any other hotel we've stayed at and the beds were comfortable. Lots of pillows, that is a big plus for me. Air conditioning/ heat worked great and we were able to park right outside our room thus easy unloading and loading of our stuff. Honestly did not deal with the staff that much as we had no problems, but they were very friendly at check-in and check-out. Will not hesitate to stay here again. In fact plan on staying here every year for the class picnic. It is only located about 5 minutes from Hershey Park. Pizza Place right across the street, though I was not into their pizza. The kids loved it. Preference thing there. They do offer other meal items as well. No doubt next time I will be ordering something else while the kids eat pizza.

Breakfast was limited continental breakfast. Staff was friendly. We appreciated the low rate, easy access to hershey park, and quiet hotel. no smoking and no pets at all in hotel, and that was appreciated.

Our two night stay at Stocks Manor was perfect. We were warmly welcomed by Stephen when we pulled up and immediately felt comfortable. Our room was beautiful with lovely furnishings, a very comfortable King bed and a clean and modern bathroom. Flat screen t.v., iPod adaptive clock radio and free WiFi provided our modern comforts. The grounds/view are just beautiful and our breakfasts were divine. Stephen and his wife KJ went out of their way to create a dining experience that was more than just good food. The dining room and table settings were fitting for this grand old home and along with our relaxed conversation with the owners, made for a delicious time in more ways than one. We love to stay at B&Bs for the personal touches and homey feel and Stocks Manor gave us just that and more!
