The budget Comfort Inn at the Park offers vacationing
families and other travelers a solid overall value in a convenient location
near Hershey’s most popular attractions. The property's free hot breakfast includes eggs
and meat, and coffee and tea are free all day. The hotel is cheerful and well
maintained, with a spacious heated indoor pool and guest laundry facilities. Its
125 rooms are attractive and spacious, and many (but not all) include microwaves and
mini-fridges. Family suites offer three beds and bathrooms that are larger than
those in standard rooms, which are rather small. Rates are attractive but local
hotels often fill up in peak season, so it’s good to have a backup. The budget Best
Western Hershey Inn is a viable alternative that’s also convenient to most
attractions.

Scene
Family-oriented hotel in a quiet setting by a pond
The Comfort Inn at the Park is just a couple of minutes away from busy West Chocolate Avenue, but
its quiet, leafy setting makes it feel much farther. Housed in a tidy red
brick building, the hotel bumps up against a small duck pond that's a highlight for guests, especially children. (A vending machine by the waterfront sells duck feed.) Inside, the mood is equally peaceful, with a blue-sky ceiling mural
greeting guests as they enter the lobby. Shiny black granite floor tiles and nice
wood paneling and columns frame the front desk. The breakfast area that is surrounded by
more wood paneling and columns that give it a slightly elegant look. But beige tile floors and granite counters provide a practical foundation. It's spacious, but it
can get crowded during peak times, especially in the high tourist season when
families flock to this hotel for its convenient location and good overall
value.

are within several minutes of walking or only two minutes or so by car. Downtown

Rooms
Clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated, but with small bathrooms
Guest rooms at the Comfort Inn at the Park are tastefully decorated, although the motif is a bit dark and decor is unsurprising.
Earth-toned, striped carpet; white walls; and clay-colored accent walls give a mostly beige/brown backdrop. Tan bedding is topped with burnt-orange bed runners, and drapes are solid
beige. But framed contemporary art and photos add much-needed splashes of color. Matching, reddish-brown wood furniture includes dressers, desks,
nightstands, and headboards. Light brown upholstered armchairs and black office chairs on casters supply seating, and some One Queen Rooms have sleeper sofas paired with coffee tables. Standard room amenities include laptop-capable safes, coffeemakers, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Many guests have commented favorably on the comfort of the beds as well.
Bathrooms aren't as spacious or nicely finished as the bedrooms. Tan
granite vanity sinks are placed outside the bathrooms, which have
beige tile floors and acrylic shower/tub inserts. Family suites have three queens in two bedrooms and
larger bathrooms. Microwaves and
mini-fridges are available for a slight upgrade in room rates.

Spacious heated indoor pool and freebies such as hot breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking
