4.6 out of 5A Perfect B&B Experience
July 22, 2012
We stayed in the Bryce Room and didn't want to leave. We felt like we were in a display house for Restoration Hardware. Everything on their website is true to description. I researched many other b&b's along our route from Baltimore to Harrisburg and none compared to the sophistication and value of City House. The staff is so friendly (but not imposing), the room was spotless (even under the bed was dust-free) and so spacious, the bathroom is AMAZING, the water temperature and pressure were perfect, the bed was perfect - slightly firm, the linens were made by angels in a small factory in heaven, the room temperature was perfect with a noiseless fan above the bed, modern iPhone charger/alarm clock, the wall mounted TV swivels and was a perfect size for the room, great river view from tall windows (which open to let in fresh air if you want), I could go on and on. The breakfast itself was light fare served in the dining room: homemade banana bread, bagels, english muffins, cereal, fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, coffee and orange juice. The house and room are secure - you're given security codes to the house and your room (bonus - no keys to lose) with the freedom to come and go as you like. Though all the rooms are on the same (second) floor of the house, you don't feel claustrophobic or stacked on top of each other. It is an old house and the floors do creak, but we didn't hear anyone and weren't bothered by any noise at night. The grounds surrounding the house were charming - landscaped like an English garden. The whole house is just so inviting and peaceful. We are seriously trying to find an excuse to come to Harrisburg again just so we can stay here! I wish they had more locations, because we would pick City House every time.

The City House B&B is by far the best place to stay in the Harrisburg area if you are looking for an above average, comfortable place. The rates are extremely reasonable for the quality of service and hospitality provided, the rooms are outstanding, and the charm of the old days blended in with the modern amenities and features is amazing. The innkeeper, Bruce, was very friendly and personable and helped make our stay enjoyable.

5 out of 5A Jewel in a Gem of a City
September 08, 2011
It had been years since I had been to Harrisburg and I was delighted with the beauty of this city when I found myself there on a unexpected trip one evening in late July. I booked the City House B&B downtown because of its proximity to the place I needed to go and was unbelievably surprised at this little gem. First of all, when I made reservations and asked about transportation from the airport, the owner, Erica, volunteered that she was available that day and would come to the airport and pick me up. She is a delight and the B&B reflects her excellent taste and eagerness to make her guests more comfortable than home. The food was delicious, the rooms clean and well appointed and my shower was incredible. The Inn was cozy and the surrounding area of town was just fun! I'm looking forward to taking my husband with me next time just to visit and relax in this wonderful setting! Mary from North Carolina
5 out of 5FABULOUS getaway!
August 22, 2011
This immaculate B&B is what dreams are made of! City House truly is a vision, located along the Susquehanna River and only minutes from the hottest spots in the city. From the 24/7 coffee service to the homemade cookies when you arrive, Erica pulls out all the stops to make each and every guest feel at home. The breakfast spread consists of only the freshest fruits and baked goods and much, much more! One weekend at City House is not enough!
4.6 out of 5Great weekend getaway!

My husband and I spent two wonderful nights at City House. It is in a great location by the river. We could easily access the path by the river, as well as walk to restaurants nearby. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a fantastic stay!
