  Under construction, and with lots of real dirt. The elevator floor and walls were very bad.

  Can't thank Tiffany & staff enough! Was stranded when car broke down and they were so kind & helpful. Couldn't be easy for them during construction and a busy weekend. And the room was really nice!

  The location was good, I’ll give it that. Otherwise decrepit property and horrible management. I had fat thumbed the Hotels.com booking I made on the way And accidentally booked for September 9 and not June 9 so I had to pay over 400 bucks for a totally crappy room that stunk of offbrand deodorizer. And then management refused to credit the $120 for the September reservation when Hotels.com/Expedia followed up). You can do better in the area.

  Top floor with rooms are remodeled now but the 1st floor with the lobby, breakfast room etc are not done. The 1st floor has dirty wallpaper coming off walls, ceiling is gross, breakfast room had chairs that were old and didn't sit straight. Outside, the parking lot is dirty and filled with storage containers for the remodel. Our worst experience was the elevator, dirty, old and 6 of us got stuck one time between 2nd and 3rd floors. We had to press the emergency bell several times. After 5min the elevator allowed us to go back down to 1st floor. The staff never apologized or offered us any discounts for the event. They should have a sign that says no more than 4 people at a time but that would probably show accountability. Even if they finish the remodel I would never stay here again. Holiday Inn should pull their naming rights

  We stayed at this hotel in spite of the mixed reviews on this site and from friends. In the plus side all but one floor has been renovated and modernized with very attractive guest rooms, modern fixtures and subdued colors. The first floor has yet to be renovated and based on then former dark earth tones, the renovation is a big plus. Also the location of the hotel is great and near many restaurants and stores in Mechanicsburg. The front desk staff are great, polite and attentive to every request. Hot breakfast is complimentary and decent—eggs, sausage patties, biscuits and gravy, real bagels, cereals, packet oatmeal , yogurts, hard boiled eggs, oranges and bananas. Two areas for improvement for our room 331: 1. The HVAC system was excessively noisy for a newly renovated room and needs repair and a reliable connection to the new thermostat which kept showing error messages. 2. The hotel commits to daily housekeeping. That didn’t happen in our room even though we had left it by 11:30 am for the day. Don’t commit to this unless you’re going to follow through. We will give this hotel another try in 3 months. It does have very good potential.
