The four-pearl Hershey Lodge is the more casual sister property of the iconic Hotel Hershey. Despite the lodge's enormous size, its lobby exudes a rustic, homey ambience with a large stone fireplace, exposed ceiling beams, and cozy sitting areas. It offers upscale amenities like free area shuttle, room service, full-service spa, and both indoor and outdoor pools (open summer 2016). The huge conference center creates lots of activity as do children having fun in the pools and the other recreation areas. The 665 rooms are clean and pleasant but not overly spacious. Furnishings in some rooms are showing wear, too, and some past guests have reported noise and maintenance issues. For a more luxurious experience, The Hotel Hershey, about 10 minutes away, is the clear choice.

The budget Red Lion Inn & Suites Hershey Inn is a family-friendly hotel in the heart of Hershey with an exceptionally large outdoor pool. A free continental breakfast is served in the lobby area, which also has a game room for kids. Although the lobby has been renovated, the 122 rooms are somewhat dated with smallish bathrooms. And guests have complained about stained carpeting and broken showerheads. Rooms include mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers. Rates are competitive but as with other hotels in Hershey, they can spike in peak season. Travelers might want to also consider the budget Comfort Inn at the Park, which often has lower rates.

The homey Suites at Hershey is an upper-middle-range property that's popular with families seeking a relaxed hotel with plenty of family-friendly activities and a short drive away from nearby attractions like Hersheypark. A game room, playground, and basketball court encourage camaraderie and fun for children, while two pools and a hot tub provide a relaxing option for adults. The modern, two-bedroom suites are spacious, with living rooms and full-size kitchens, plus they're equipped with washers and dryers. But housekeeping is an extra fee, and no food service exists on-site. As an alternative, travelers might want to consider Hampton Inn & Suites Hershey, which offers a free breakfast buffet.

The luxury Hotel Hershey is a true destination hotel that appeals to conference delegates, couples, and vacationing families alike. The hotel's features have broad appeal, from a decadent spa and large indoor/outdoor pools to children’s programs, several restaurants, and golf at the nearby Hershey Country Club. Room options including spacious cottages with common areas, and all rooms are comfortably sized -- though rooms in the hotel have small bathrooms. The location is isolated from the busy downtown area and local restaurants, but a free area shuttle reaches most attractions in a few minutes. All these luxe features come at a cost, as rates are pricey by any measure. The hotel’s sister property, the four-pearl Hershey Lodge, is a more moderately priced alternative that offers similar (though more casual) features.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Hampton Inn & Suites Hershey is a good choice for Hershey visitors watching their budgets. It’s within a brief drive to the major attractions and just a few minutes from the heart of downtown. Its 110 rooms are clean and spacious with polished marble vanities and showers. Rooms come with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, and some Suites have kitchenettes with dishwashers and stove tops.

But it doesn’t offer shuttle services like some area hotels, and guests report easily hearing adjacent neighbors. Rates are competitive, but the budget Comfort Inn at the Park offers similar features and better rates on most dates.
