The Hershey Hotel

We just spent a week at the Hershey Hotel.  It is a very memorable place.  The service is exceptional. The opportunities for fun including a good amusement park, a pretty good garden on the grounds, the Gettysburg battlefield and a host of other things to do - make it a place with lots of possibilities.

The Hotel has three restaurants.  An expensive, but well appointed, Circular Dining Room; a locally sourced place (which offers fresh produce) called Harvest and an informal Italian restaurant called Trevi 5.   During the week we tried all three.  One night we had an agnolotti which was very good at Trevi 5.   The burgers at the Harvest were very well done.  The ambience at the Circular Dining Room matched the food.

The service throughout the hotel is exceptional - courteous and personal.  The staff was helpful not intrusive.

For the last couple of years I have had 90-100 hotel nights including some in pretty fancy hotels.  I would match the Hershey with the best I have experienced.
