Sweet Options for Weekend in Hershey

Sweet Options for Weekend in Hershey

Looking to make a weekend out of the North Penn Knight’s trip to Hershey Stadium? Well here are some possible hotel options. Unfortunately the most convenient hotels, those in the park, the Hershey Hotel and the Hershey Lodge are fully booked on the Saturday night; however, there are a number of very convenient options very close to the park.

Accomodations

The Milton Motel is located a quick 3.00 mile drive away from Hershey Park. It also has the cheapest price available with rooms for $28 per night. However while the price is cheap there are many complaints about the hotels cleanliness. Almost every review mentions the fact that the rooms are old and rather dirty.

A better accommodation though slightly more pricey is the Best Western Inn. Here rooms are available for $79 a night. Plus it is a convenient 1.70 miles from the park.  There are also far less negative reviews about the hotels cleanliness. Included with the room are free internet access and a complimentary breakfast.

If looking for a nice place to stay but still trying to stay economical, the Days-Inn is a perfect option. The Days-Inn like the other hotels is located right by the park, only 1.50 miles away. Rooms in this hotel are only $67. The reviews indicate a few minor problems with hotel cleanliness yet nothing major. Like the Best Western the Days-Inn offers free internet, complimentary breakfast, and a pool.

There are plenty of options to make the weekend as comfortable as possible after cheering on the Knights victory. Check out http://www.hersheypark.com and http://hotelguides.com/pennsylvania/hershey-park-pa-hotels.html for more information

 

Attractions:

Hershey Park: Although the weather outside is frightful, the chocolate is still delightful. And even though the park is closed Hershey’s Sweet Lights is still open. A wooded driving trail of lights and Hershey Park figures that you can see from your car. Keeping you safe from frigid winter.

Whitaker Center for Science and Arts: As you step into the Whitaker Center for Science and Arts, you enter the world of intrigue. Featuring three floors of exhibits, one can learn everything about mysteries of our world. At the science center, there is something for everyone big or small.

Hershey Story: We all are familiar with chocolate god Milton Hershey but in this museum of the chocolate king you can dive deeper into the vat of chocolate that is Milton Hershey’s life.
