Budget Friendly Hotels near Hershey Park?

[SunnyP4Disney]

I'm watching this thread also with interest. I'll need a hotel that accepts pets (we'll have our 6 lb Pomeranian with us). Unfortunately we wanted to stay at the Hershey Lodge but they do not accept pets, so we've been eyeing the La Quinta (our fave pet friendly hotel chain) in Harrisburg...

If you have AAA, they offer discounts to AAA members.

The Mainstay that you posted was about $95 a night with my AAA discount (Yay, I'm a member!). I tried the other hotels mentioned with my AAA and the prices I got were all well over $100 a night.

I'm glad that I've found this thread. It is very helpful.
We will will be going to Hershey/Lancaster for a few days in July on our way up to a wedding in MA.

Thank you for the suggestions - keep them coming, please!! We are still leaning toward the Comfort Inn in Harrisburg because it's the lowest price of the hotels mentioned here so far, but more suggestions would be very welcome!

Pikester - I checked the Mainstay with AAA rates and it is still $135 a night. When are you going??

We are going June 20-25. I actually booked it last night!The rate shown for AAA was $94.50 a night before tax($472.50). With the estimated tax being $51.98 that will make it $524.48 for the 5 nights. I wanted to keep it under a $100 a night including tax but this place offered so much that $104.90 total a night was OK for us.

When did you say you were going?

We are going in August. Maybe that's why. Quite a bit of difference! I want your rate!!!!!

We're not even going on a weekend - just two nights - Wed and Thurs. I will keep trying, maybe they will lower the price along the way.

Glad to hear you got a good rate! I hope you like it. I actually have not stayed during the summer, but compared to other hotels in the area, the Mainstay is quite nice.
