The Suites at Hershey is a Bluegreen Corporation property that is a time share, but it also rents out some rooms through various travel booking sites if the rooms aren't taken up by time share owners.  It is an RCI "Gold Crown" resort.  

What they don't tell you when you book a room is that it is directly adjacent to the train tracks and trains rumble through at all hours of the day and night and blow their horns loudly.  We spent a week in a suite in Building 1 that faced the train tracks.  We were miserable. Even earplugs couldn't block out the loud horns.  We asked to be moved, but no dice. The rest of the rooms were taken.  Another "selling point" was that it has an indoor heated pool, so if the weather is cold or not condusive to using the outdoor pool, you can use the indoor one. Except they left out the fact that the indoor pool is only connected to some of the rooms, so you may have to walk outside in the cold to get the the building with the pool in it.  Walking outdoors is fine during the summer, but when it is below freezing outside, walking along the parking lot on a windy day is not fun. The other odd thing is that despite staying here a week, we did not get any fresh linens or cleaning service.  Fresh towels were $10 and getting the trash taken out was extra too.  You could leave the trash outside your door before noon every morning and they supposed to pick it up.  Sometimes they did and sometimes they didn't.  The employees here also push the timeshare thing really, really hard.  If you don't consent to going on a tour, they keep calling and asking.  We almost gave in just to stop them from bugging us!  

Pros:  I don't own a time share here!
Big suites with full sized kitchens.
Located across the street from the Outlet mall and down the street from Hershey Park.

Cons:  Trains prevent a good night's sleep.  
Spotty service.
Pushy sales people.
