I have used the Harrisburg Bus Terminal during the day a few times. It is located just a short distance from their Train Station.
I always felt the area itself was a bit seedy but never had to go anywhere as I was just transferring to another bus.
There is a fair to middling Comfort Inn an easy cab ride away. It gets decent ratings and has a restaurant to fill that need. As to walking around, no I saw nothing within a few blocks as we approached the Bus Station that looked very interesting.
