Like I said, this was my first ever vacation, and I took the planning of it very seriously. The mapping out of the route...the budget assembly...the stalking of the weather forecasts...the once over (six times over?) of the car...the selection of a house/cat sitter...it's really an involved process to be on vacation!
One of the things I spent literally hours researching was the hotel. I wanted to make sure I found an affordable place...that wasn't scary...that was fun...but not over the top. It's so hard to do that when you don't know the area. After my hours of searching...various engines...combing a AAA book...reading dozens of reviews...
...I selected the Comfort Inn.
Loved it that it was so tall...had interior corridors...and according to the reviews, the highlights of the establishment were the water pressure, the continental breakfast, and the duck pond. I would have to say I was more than satisfied with all three.Since it was chilly and misty for our entire visit, we didn't really hang out at the duck pond to feed the ducks, but we did wave at them and I managed to not kill any of them when entering and leaving the hotel premises. I did think it was really cool that the ducks lived there. Not so cool when we ran a suitcase through duck poop, but whatever.
Yes, I know I'm on my side. I'll try to fix it later. I couldn't get the picture to flip in my album. Well, I got it to flip, but it won't save. Anyway, the breakfast at this place ROCKED. Cereal, hard-boiled eggs, fruit salad, danishes and donuts, toast and bagels, and...make your own waffles. And I did.
Loved being able to remain connected. The laptop life is the best. We got a room that had a regular bed and then a sofa bed. I thought since we would be there a couple of days, it might be nice to have "real furniture" in the room.
Amber...perusing the world's worst map of Hershey. About 70% of the town's roads were not on the map, making it very difficult to navigate the place. We did get pretty lost at one point - and I had a minor meltdown. I hate being lost.
So if you're ever headed to Hershey, and you don't want to pay MAJOR bucks to stay in any of the resorts...I highly recommend the Comfort Inn. Just watch out for duck poop.

We've stayed at various hotels that offer the "make-your-own-waffle" thingys lately. Since I did that many times, with great success while at college, I felt confident in my skills....
Until the last time we stayed and I used the waffle maker....and the waffle got HORRIBLY stuck, while everyone waited in line behind me. I did exactly what the instructions said, but it was a lousy waffle maker.
Now, I'm slightly afraid.
LOL - I had not considered this peril prior to making mine. I found the nonstick spray AFTER digging my waffle out of the iron. woops.
Did yours burn or did you manage to rescue it prior to that?
