Something to ponder - Hershey 2022
The lady in my life didn't have any snow to shovel today (ok, I am out there with her), and with the temperature well below the zero number, she grabbed her IPad and started checking things out for the year. She got us good rooms for Daytona, Phoenix and Talladega, and then looked out to October and Hershey. We used to stay in a Mom & Pop place in Annville. They sold and are now appartments, so in 2021 we found a new place, closer to the fields (now 5 miles) and enjoyed the rate of about $215 a night.
She keyed in the information and dates in our 'new' Hershey place and 'holy crap Batman' it has jumped to $499 a night during the Hershey week. Anyone else check their lodge prices recently? Has the good lodging fairy gotten real greedy? |

I sleep in my car, cost hasn't changed much---for 449 I could put a station wagon on the road, improved lodging, and can bring more home

Re: Something to ponder - Hershey 2022
I used to stay at the Travel Inn, exit 10 on I-78 in Myerstown, Pa. It is about 1/2 hour from Hershey. Much less than $ 100.00 per night. After you get up, go west one exit to get to Esther's restaraunt for a good breakfast. Esther's is on route 222, so continue west to Hershey. I used to get up at 6:00 AM, be at Esther's by 7:00 AM, and be at Hershey about 8:15 before most of the vendor's opened up. Why pay the inflated price for a room?

Re: Something to ponder - Hershey 2022
Hi Bruce,
We stay at the Hampton/Mt. Joy. Very nice. Last year $134 a night. This year rates have gone up; each night is a bit more than the last. We are paying over $200 (for the week) more than last year. Still better than what you quoted. Wow! Call if you want specifics. |

Re: Something to ponder - Hershey 2022
To let you know, the lady found a place 3 blocks down the road for just about what we were paying in 2021.
And we get breakfast, And it is only 18 months since it opened, so we are talking new construction. Like I alluded to --- think the place we were staying, saw what the Hotel Hershey was charging and thought they were on the same level. NOT! They were relatively new owners. So, all is well and in some cases better. Sure do miss the Mom & Pop place, but can't fault them for selling, At least we are staying in Hershey and not a town called Paradise, Bird in Hand, Blue Ball, Intercourse or Virginville. All towns in the PA Dutch Country. (I have the refrigerator magnet to prove it) Last edited by nelsb01; 01-08-2022 at 12:28 PM. |

Re: Something to ponder - Hershey 2022
I typically camp with some fellow club members right across from Giant Center. A bit rustic, but enjoyable. When my wife joins me, we stay in a hotel.
