<p>My son (rising college soph) and daughter (rising HS senior) will be visiting Muhlenberg soon. Due to distance, they'll have to stay overnight. Where would you recommend they stay? As a mom, I need it to be safe. And they'd probably like to walk to food from their room, although that's not a must-have. Which hotel do you recommend? </p>
<p>Thanks. :)</p>
<p>Most of the nearby hotels are “Dorney Park” (amusement park) oriented this time of year. The Wyndham/Wingate is probably the nicest. There are several hotels in the same area, Comfort Suites, Holiday Inn Express etc. A little further out of town (Route 100) there is another strip of Hampton, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites etc - that area is probably 10 to 15 minutes from Muhlenberg but will not be as infested by amusement park goers.</p>
<p>Merriett. Loved the breakfasts and cheap rates.</p>
<p>Over four years, we have stayed at many of the places pkrajsa mentioned. For the last few stays, the Wyndham/Wingate earned our loyalty. I felt the Comfort Suites became more and more run down, and the Holiday Inn was charging a bit more for rooms than Wingate. </p>
<p>When I was making reservations for D’s graduation last winter, the Wingate had no vacancies, but when I was there in March, I asked them about it. They told me to call back about two weeks before graduation, as they often end up with some cancellations. So I made a reservation somewhere else, and when I was there again in late April, I asked the desk clerk about graduation weekend, and she was able to get us a room, and for a price far below what the other places were asking. I think they had kind of gotten the idea that we had become loyal to them over the last 1½-2 years.</p>
<p>Db, make sure u check Pa laws; I recall an age minimum requirement to check in; I think you can send a permission letter in advance</p>
