Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Hotel's Favourite
We come to the Red Lion twice a year as part of our travels to our family vacation at the Jersey Shore. It is not just tradition or habit that gets us to stay there. This place is great!! It is a welcome respite from the truly dreadful PA turnpike - at the Red Lion we can unwind in the gorgeous, huge pool (and if it is raining in the indoor pool). We have family fun in the evenings playing ping pong, billiards and the fun game room. We either eat in the welcoming restaurant or have a picnic on the large outdoor patio. Though this is an older (and big) facility it is clean and extremely well-run - the manager, Randy Stuart, has instilled in his staff a “what can we do for our customer” attitude that is apparent from the moment you step into the lobby on arrival. My only wish is that guests (and their children) would treat this lovely facility with the same caring that the staff does! The Red Lion is not just a place to stay - it is a vacation in itself!

We stay at the Red Lion Hotel every six months for our mid-year and annual Moose Conferences. The staff are awesome and the Manager, Randy, is very accommodating to the requests we have made while there. He cares about the people who stay in his hotel, and gets us our favorite room each time we book! The hotel is close to everything…Hersheypark, golfing, the Giant Center, so it is the perfect place to stay when you are in the area. The restaurant, which is located in the hotel, has excellent food. There is a pool and playground for the kids as well. Enjoy!

I’m a group organizer with Soul Nation Events. Last weekend was my 13th trip I hosted. From the very beginning this is always the hotel I look forward too seeing in the email. Immediately! I book Red Lion! I’ve been a guest before the renovations & name change. I love it for so many personal reasons. The staff is very knowledgeable, polite and friendly. I love the amenities on site such as the warm indoor pool, the outdoor hot tub( I’ve sat in the hot tub during snow showers , rain , clear skies it doesn’t matter the hot tub is apart of our Skitrip tradition) arcade, restaurant, pool table, access too the stores across the street. The bed& pillows are so comfortable… I wasn’t ready too leave the bed! I get my best rest here! Randy, is a gem! He goes over and beyond too make guest stay comfortable. Randy, doesn’t hesitate too help with a issue. He is approachable and very easy too talk too. Randy, made my parents feel at home during their stay. My parents told me make sure I see Randy and tell him hi! I saw him in the hallway shared a story. He instantly remembered my parents and that speaks volumes I wish Randy & Red Lion much continued success. I look forward too my next stay!

I have stayed at the Red Lion Hotel every three years for my certification by the State of Pennsylvania for bounce houses and mechanical bulls, and each time has been a fantastic experience. The hotel is always clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The staff, especially Randy Stuart, goes above and beyond to ensure my stay is pleasant and stress-free. Randy is always friendly, helpful, and attentive to any needs or requests I may have. I highly recommend the Red Lion Hotel and commend Randy Stuart for exceptional service. It says something when you show up and the SAME staff are there year after year!
