If you're flying, the closest and most convenient airport to me is Allentown, PA. The next closest is Philly, which is about a hour to a hour 1/2 away depending on time of time and traffic.
I just called the Comfort Inn to inquire about some sort of group rate. I estimated about 6 rooms. She said they don't start group rates until we need 10 rooms. So she recommended that everyone just make their own reservations. Using
AAA or AARP would get you a rate of $71 a night.(is that what you got Nancy or did you do better?) She also said the hotel was completely remodeled last year and the continental breakfast (as Nancy mentioned) was upgraded to include a make your waffle station. I've been over there a few times and it a nice place. Here's the phone number directly to the hotel: 610-326-5000
I also called the local mom & pop motel (the Mel Dor Hotel).A room with a queen is $48 plus tax. A room with 2 doubles is $51 plus tax. They do have availability as of right now. Phone #610-367-2626
They do have a continental breakfast, but no pool. (the Comfort Inn has a heated outdoor pool) I haven't had to stay there in years, but I'm told it's kept up nice and it's clean.
Oh, boy-we're making plans now! I even have a friend who runs a butcher shop/meat market lined up for food!
