It was OK. They gave me room next to elevator and on High Way side, so I heard traffic noise at night. The AC, Heater unit did not have modern thermostat, so it was running all the time or I had to manually turn it off. The continental breakfast was excellent, staff was very nice. No bar / grill near walking distance to hotel. Hot tub / pool was excellent.

Positives: Hotel was OK.

Negatives: Room location, highway noise, super dry room (no humid), heater ran all the time.

It is a relatively new hotel. It is conveniently located how ever needs more signs as the property is kind of hidden behind a Best Western Hotel. The hotel lobby was clean, not pretty lacked any decoration, it was very noisy may be because we were on first floor. Customer service was poor. I forgot few books in the room. I called within 30 minutes of checking out and requested them to use our FedEx account to mail them. The desk associate did not even bother to call us back. We called them several times but they did not even call back. Very poor customer service.

Positives: It was relatively new hotel.

Negatives: We forgot few books in the room I requested them to mail at my expense but they did not even bother to call me back. Poor customer service.

Excellent customer service, delicious breakfast that includes fresh waffles, juices, eggs, bacon, bagels, etc. Kid-friendly and close to shopping. The sky-high sign for Best Western overshadowed the hotel's location so there was confusion finding hotel during night time hours. Overall, excellent experience.

Positives: Clean rooms, delicious breakfast, pool and nice people.

Negatives: Map quest directions take you to main road and not to the hotel.

Not at all bad, but not quite fully up to the 2 and a half star standard expected. The bed was adequate, but not keeping up to the new comfort standards being set by competitors. The pool area was clean, but all the tiles in the pool and hot tub themselves really needed cleaning; somebody had etched "scrub me" in the film in a couple of places. Yuck. Maybe that was why we could smell chlorine in the room corridors. Otherwise, the public places were clean and tidy and the free continental breakfast was far better than standard (sausages, scrambled egg patties, and Belgian waffles).

Positives: Good location, friendly staff, above average continental breakfast.

Negatives: Beds and linens could use some updating.

The Wingate Inn in Mechanicsburg tries hard to be a preferred alternative to the Hampton chain, but because it lacks brand recognition, seems to be relying on large group bookings for weekend revenue. Teenagers attending a sports conference dominated the hotel when I was there, keeping guests awake and turning the lounge into their own meeting space. Could not reach the breakfast line, nor get a place to sit. There was only one staff member on the evening shift, who could not possibly deal with all of the complaints this group generated.

Positives: Free wireless internet access, exercise room

Negatives: large noisy group of teenagers who kept me up, breakfast area too crowded because of latter

This hotel had an apartment complex feel that was immediately comforting. The staff at the front desk was extremely friendly and accomodating. Our room was similar to a one-bedroom apartment and was very clean upon our arrival. Breakfast was stocked full of various items such as eggs, sausage, muffins, waffles and juice. The breakfast room was peaceful and warm, which made waking up very comforting. I would definitely stay here again.

Positives: front desk hospitality

Negatives: pool was empty
