Hi MrG4Life:

Just wondering how did you bid to land up at this hotel i.e what zone? Also did you visit hershey? Just wondering how the drive was? I am planning a trip with family this weekend to Hershey/Lancaster.. Any other suggestions would be helpful about the area. Won't mind staying at this hotel at the price that you got..and hence wondering about the bidding

Thanks

Thanks for all the responses. Yes once I decide I will definitely use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to make the booking..

I have stayed in that area for State High Playoff games. The hotels in that zone are by a couple of the exits off of I-81. I believe the one exchange is Grantville and there are a handful of hotels in that area. The Holiday Inn is the only one reported on Priceline for that zone. It is pretty easy access to Hershey - I would say about a 15 minute drive on a two lane country type road that takes you right across the street from the Hersheypark parking lots. There are no traffic issues at all. Hershey zone would be your closest zone. The Harrisburg zone is also a possibility, but there would be more traffic issues, but a relatively short drive. Harrisburg West would probably be about 1/2 hour drive, but it may depend on which part of the zone. Since there is not a lot of reported activity in the Harrisburg East zone, you may take a chance on getting an unreported hotel. I would think if you bid a 3* or 3-1/2* you should be OK in that area.

Thank you very much for your response and your info on the area. It will definitely help when placing bid in priceline. Will update with what I find..

thanks again..

Hello:

I am planning to visit Hershey, PA (Hershey Park, Chocolate factory, zoo etc..) and looking for a decent place to stay with family (possibly this weekend - 5/14-5/16). Is Harrisburg (East) a good option? Don't want to stay too far from the attractions. However if traffic is not an issue (i.e. driving from the place of stay to the attractions) then don't mind staying within a 20-30 minute driving distance. Willing to pay $50-75 for the stay (3-3.5 stars). What would be a good priceline strategy?

Thanks a ton in advance

Hello:

I am planning a trip to NY and just exploring places to stay. I have been looking at the bids for the Hyatt. What are the parking options? The hotel website says - $32 (with in/out) or $25(until 11pm). Are there any other parking options? If so, whats the cost?

Thanks
