Days Inn by Wyndham Hershey
We stayed here through New Year’s Eve. The hotel was very clean and we loved the Christmas decor and the smell of hot chocolate in the lobby. The breakfast was good and the lady who maintained the breakfast area was incredible. We would definitely return if we go back to Hershey.
