Hotel Carlisle & Embers Convention Center - Carlisle

Second year at this hotel. Room was nice but had some issues. Air conditioner had problems and worked half the time. Shower head and faucet in bath tub ran at the same time and was barely fastened to the wall.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the room was filthy. the window was nailed closed. the room and the entire building smelled musty. the toilet seat was broken. the shower head was full of scum. the blanket on the bed had holes in it as if it had been cut with a knife. the tv remote would not work properly. the room was not vacuumed before we used it, and it wasn't vacuumed during our […] stay.We go to Carlisle once a year. this was the third time we stayed here - and only because there were no other hotel rooms available for the car show. Each year the hotel's conditions decreased - and the conditions were not great to start with. This year the fridge and microwave were even an extra charge - our first two stays, those items were included. we had hoped the conditions were going to improve, but they did not. this room was not worth the amount paid for the three night stay. we will not stay there again even if it means missing the car show.

the hot tub wouldn't bubble, swimming pool only filled halfway, clock needed a battery, ice machine was broken, tub wouldn't plug up to use bathtub, no remote control for tv, bed was too hard, pillows were too flat.I had stayed there years before which was better but I can tell upkeep is going downhill.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is very old and very run down. The pool area had dead plants and there were cracks in the pools. The pool towels were brown and dingy looking. The sheets were dingy and had holes in them. The shower was dirty and old looking. I was not very impressed at all. I will never stay there again. Unless they do a total remodel.

Although the hotel website says rooms are equipped with microwaves and refrigerators. Toilet in my room was broken, water keeps running, have to leave the lid open and shut off water every time I use it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the hotel could be as good as it once was but seems to be falling into neglect. The hallways were poorly lit and very cold . The room was supposed to be smoking but no ashtray was present the tv was blurry and several years too old and no remote. Over all i would not recommend anyone staying here especially for the price they charge there was not a […] coffee maker in the room and no continental breakfast just a shabby hotel all around.

With out a doubt the worst hotel say every the 1 should be -1 they should not be in business nor should hotels.com book for them

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My son, two grandchildren and my 90 yr old mother were put into rooms without water. We were not told in advance, found out after settling in following a 9 hr drive. We were lead to believe the problem would be resolved overnight but that was not the case. The next morning we found it would be another 4 days, the end of our reservation. Then we found […] that there were other rooms available that had running water so our rooms were changed. The water pressure was poor but because we booked on line we stayed where we were. I would not ever stay here again especially when there are so many other options on the same street. Read more

You know those hotels that have that slightly tired, slightly mildew-y smell? This is one of them. It is a rambling, long-hallway affair and the whole place just seems a little run-down. In fact, everything was perfectly clean: crisp sheets, very hot water, comfortable bed, excellent room heater. But the hallways and public spaces need new carpeting, […] better lighting, and a coat of lighter colored paint. The fact that the bar and the restaurant were inexplicably closed when I arrived at 10 PM, and were not open at all in the morning either, made me feel like I'd stepped into a half-operating establishment. The front desk staff said that the food service closes early if there are no customers, but both the bar and restaurant had the feel of not having been open for awhile. I guess when they get a convention in and have the rooms full, the place is different, but I felt like the only guest in the entire hotel. Read more

Very spacious rooms. Price was great. Bed was comfortable I would stay here again

Genuine Expedia guest review

Door latch broken on first room assigned. The advertised wi-fi in every room did not extend to our room and hallway. The toilet had not been cleaned prior to check-in. No tissues in room (was told their shipment had not come in). The bed was comfortable and the room was comfortable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Don't know about the rest of the hotel, but the outer building we stayed in (Door 11) was a one star accomodation at best. It looked as if it was one step from demolition. Needs complete remodeling and overhaul. Carpets filthy and torn, hole and messy patches in bathtub, insufficient towels, no kleenex, stained ceiling, old, hard, foam pillows, no ice […] bucket, poor lighting (dim), entrance door to lobby not secure (card reader not working). Felt like we were staying in a dive. Read more

Really too bad - hotel could be nice-convenient to everthing- but needs updated to todays standards badly.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

There were not enough outlets in the room and we could not get the internet access to work.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The tissue box was empty, and when I asked for a box of tissues I was told that there was none because they were waiting on a shipment. The hall smelled when I walked in. The linens were old and worn. Cups were placed on a sticky tray.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The bathtub wall grout was black. There was debris along the hallways. The nachos ordered at the bar were stale.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was conveniently located for access to the Carlisle fairgrounds and restaurants. The check-in was significantly delayed due to the fact that only one person was at the desk to handle incoming calls, the check-in of guests and answer questions of guests. Despite having written confirmations the clerk had to look manually through a three inch […] notebook filled with numerous pages to find my reservations. The clerk did good job given the lack of help and the check in system the hotel used. When I arrived in my room one of the two beds was unmade. I went to the front desk and after another extensive wait was assigned another room. The second room was clean and had clean linens and towels. On the morning of our second day there was no hot water for all the rooms in the section of the hotel were we were staying, therefore no shower. Since you took the time to ask I thought you would like to know. I realize things can happen. However,a second person and extra available staff for a hotel as large as the Hotel Carlisle is inexcusable. Read more

We have stayed here in the past but this will be our last! Stayed three nights and two mornings didn't have hot water. Food was awful - never again!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I would never stay at this Hotel again. I would rather sleep in my car. The bathroom towels looked dirty. The indoor pool was cold. The hot tub was cold and dirty and we couldn't get in it. The steam room does not work. The blankets on the beds were old and torn. The chairs in the room had mildew on them. A man that works there, probably the maid guy […] too, walked into our room without knocking, looked in at us and then left with the door not shut all the way. We had the door shut so he had to use a key card to get in. We had checked in that night so I don't know why he would have tried to enter our room? The ice machine didn't work. The only good thing about the hotel is that it was close to where our soccer tournament was but there are a lot of other hotels in the area that would probably be much better. They couldn't be any worse. Read more

the buffet was over priced the food was poor if you want ice it is $2.00 for a small bucket ,the bed had hair in it & the one wall had hair stuck on it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel has a lot ro be desired. We reserved a king and was put in a queen. The furnishings were sparse and the bathroom was dirty . While at the bar we were told to eat in the diningroom because the waitress could use the business. The restaurant was over priced and the quality of the food was hideous. We paid $25 each for a buffet meal and ended […] up eating rice and a salad of lettuce and cucumbers. The other offerings were foul tasting or overcooked. The seafood newburg was disgusting and looked like paste. After telling the server, (a very kind young man) he said he was sorry and let the chef know. The dish was not removed. I would not recommend this place unless you do not care if you spend $110. Read more

It could be a grand hotel if renovations were made. At the current condition I would not stay there again

This hotel should not even be on Hotels.com listings. The room smelled moldy and musty, I had to keep the air conditioner on quite low just to get some fresher air. The bedspread had a burn hole in it, the mattress was dirty and the sheets didn't fit correctly, there was no hot water one morning, I didn't get housekeeping service, and the carpeting […] was stained. I felt uncomfortable and was worried I would get sick, or bitten. This was the most uncomfortable I have ever been in a hotel room. Read more

Nice place to stay, clost to downtown Carlisle, Hershey,Hollywood casino, Harrisburg. Employees were great, room was comfortable, however it would have been nice to have clean sheets and vacumming at least every other day. they did make up beds every day but one during our stay which was for 5 days. the hotel could use refreashing on interior but is […] great for the price which was very reasonable. They could use a different cook, we were ther to celebrate 25th anniversary, had dinner at hotel on anniversary sept.5th, 2012, steak was touch and over done, i was offered something el still therese, but they was out of first two choices of mine and husbands. I was so upset, i got ill and went outside to wait for husband, found out he was still charged full price. Lounge was nice and friendly and reasonable prices, pool was very nice.

None of the lamps were plugged in when I arrived, nor was the TV. This may not sound like a big deal, but I checked in after dark and had to fumble around the room before I could find a light switch that worked- in the bathroom. There were also stains on the carpet and the room smelled. I also forgot my sweater when I check out but when I called to […] ask them to hold it for me at the front desk, I was told I would get a call back confirming, and never did. When I called again, no one answered or returned my message. So was the hotel affordable? Yes, and to be fair the staff were friendly. But would I go back? No. There are plenty of nicer hotels for similar prices in the same area. Read more

Just plan terrible. I would swear it is haunted. Its dirty the toilet runs contiuously. Strange noises. Impolite hotel staff. No towels washcloths and especially toilet paper. Bring your own.

Great service, did not have the room available that we booked (king bed) but gave us a bigger room to compensate. Comfortable beds and curtains that keep the sun out, always a plus.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel did not provide a closing account statement. The refrigerator appeared to be molded. There was hair in the bathtub and sink. The room door was broken - did not automatically lock. The hotel was empty of customers. The hotel requires a lot of fix-up work.

Hotel dirty...ground unkept...no lights after dark...some maintenance staff are awful, the night guy was friendly but unhelpful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

old and run down. Dirty. Few guests so they didn't even open the restuarant or the lounge. Beds VERY incomfortable. Whole place smells like mold. If someone put real money into this place - it could be a 4 star resort.. But - as it is now - it should be burned to the ground.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was just ok. It wasn't worth full price and it smelled like smoke but it was ok for what we paid for it. Only thing that miffed me was that I wanted a King size room but they gave us 2 Queens. It was all right though. Definitely could use some updating.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Stay was fine, but the hotl & grounds give you the feeling of having had much better days. We were put in the back wing with one other guest. Extremely long walk to front desk and amenities, down very deserted halls. Key card access not necessary ascthey did not work.

The gentlemen at front desk was friendly, we had to go back three times to get our keys to work in our room.

The stay was ok however there was mold in the bathroom. I thought the extra charge for the use a refrigerator that was already in the room was not necessary. The hotel could use some updated decor.

This was the worst place that I ever stayed at. The A/C broke down in the middle of the night we had to change rooms. Leaks throughout the hotel caused it to have an odor.
