The Alva Restaurant - Harrisburg

The owner is a really sweet old man. The staff is also very sweet. The food was good. I had coffee every morning and was always treated with respect. People were very friendly, the room was small, but they have things to help just live. Not bad either. I will stay back

Seriously quirky and completely unpretentious old school Diner Bar right opposite the train station. Not for those looking for farewell and bedding tablecloths, but I enjoyed the deep fried heal butt and frits, although I should not eat so much fried food at my age. Had spent the night, but they were full. American graffiti.

Get what you pay for. Fast food cheap, hard alcohol. No complaints. Although I wouldn't stay at night unless it was the last resort.

Friendly staff, but the restaurant (at 2:30 pm on a Friday afternoon) was filled with noisy vagrants. The place smelled not so great (like mold and 1940's wallpaper). My family was terrified. That being said the staff was patient with all the madness around and the fries and drinks were fine. I would not stay in this hotel though, which really is too bad because the it's right next to the train station and those vintage wrap around lunch counters are beautiful, so the genius that totally revamps and restores the place will be sitting on a gold mine IMO. But again at the moment it's a flop house with its own dive bar, so unless you're into that sort of thing I'd stay away. Or if you're a entrepreneur into vintage hotels, please buy it and show it some love .

Great food. Booze is a little pricey but they have it all here. Also the rooms r clean and most of the staff are very respectful.
