If you are planning a trip to visit Hersheypark and are wondering where to stay in Hershey, PA, allow me to recommend the two official Hershey resorts: The Hotel Hershey and Hershey Lodge!
Where to Stay in Hershey, PA
I previously posted a review of Hershey Lodge and I reviewed The Hotel Hershey. So, you should be familiar with those resorts. However, today I’m going to break down why I recommend staying at one of these resorts if you visit Hersheypark and when I prefer one over the other.
Stay at an Official Resort
A stay at an official Hershey resort entitles you to some pretty awesome perks! For starters, there’s a shuttle that will take you to the park and Hershey’s Chocolate World! Additionally, both places host chocolate bingo where you can win some tasty chocolate! I also love that you can meet your favorite candy characters in the lobby of these resorts from time to time! I don’t know of any other resorts that can provide that type of entertainment! Plus, your stay at an official Hershey resort includes tickets to the Hershey Gardens and Hershey Story museum!
Another thing I want to point out that isn’t necessarily a perk, but something to keep in mind. One morning of our trip that wasn’t a park day, we thought we would drive around town to find somewhere to eat breakfast. However, we didn’t find much. We ended up eating at The Circular at The Hotel Hershey and really enjoyed the meal. So, staying at an official resort guarantees that you will have easy access to tasty food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! If you stay elsewhere, you might have to hunt for your next meal, particularly breakfast.
How to Choose
If I’ve managed to convince you that you should stay at an official Hershey resort, then you may be wondering which place to try. I would suggest staying at the place that best fits your needs. For instance, Hershey Lodge tends to be a bit cheaper and more family-friendly. The Hotel Hershey is a fine place for adults only stays or someone wanting a nicer hotel experience. However, I don’t think you can go wrong with a stay at either resort!
So, how do you decide where to stay in Hershey, PA?
