Does any one know of suite hotels near Hershey, PA. We are thinking of a one night stop over there on our way to New England from VA. We have four kids and would need 2-3 rooms minimum.

Many thanks.

There is a Hampton Inn & Suites on Chocolate Ave. 1-800-HAMPTON and a Rodeway Inn & Suites on Areba ave. 1-800-228-2000. I haven't personally stayed at either so I can't give a recommendation.

I stayed last year at a new Hilton Garden Inn. It was very nice and close to everything. I would bet that they would have some suites or you could get connecting rooms. The rooms very nice.

Try the Hotel Hershey on the hill near Hershey Gardens across the way from Hersheypark.

Try the Homewood Suites in Harrisburg - about 20 minutes from Hershey Park, but a great place for a group! I took my Girl Scout troop there 3 years ago, and I would return in a heartbeat. Lovely lobby, immaculate and attractive suites with plenty of room, and an excellent free "pantry" breakfast, which I think means hot and cold items (nothing cooked to order). Across the street from an excellent deli (Izzy's?),and a staff that couldn't be nicer. The drive to Hersheypark from the hotel was direct and very manageable, even with a group of 11 y/o girls.
