Ramada by Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey Area
There was no soap or shampoo in the dispensers on the shower. Headed to front desk and no one was available after 11:00pm. Called at 6:30 and went again but no answer. Had to find alternatives for toiletries. There was only one waffle maker in cafeteria and the line was super long. Overall experience ...
