Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at the Mt Vernon Motel in Manheim and found it to be a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and cozy, but I had sheets left out in front of my room for 2 days. The service was a bit loud and pushy, with the owners falsely claiming I left the hotel a mess. The location was convenient and quiet, close to Hershey Park, but the dining options were limited to fast food like Burger King. Overall, it was an average stay with some highs and lows.
The hotel's location was great, close to Hershey and convenient for touring Amish country. The rooms were cleaner than expected but still had a lingering cigarette smoke odor. The service was friendly, although some staff lacked professionalism. The dining options were limited, but the price was reasonably close to Hershey Park. Overall, a decent value for the money.
The hotel is perfect for an overnight stay, offering clean rooms with more features than expected despite being on a primary road. However, the smell of smoke required extra care to eliminate. The service was not very professional in dress or communication and could be noisy at times, but the location was convenient for various purposes and close to desired attractions. Dining options were average, and the facilities were satisfactory.
