farmer52 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I am staying at the Rodeway Inn; Akron, PA. It is an "old time" motel (park in front of the door) but is clean. I stayed there 3 or 4 times and never had an issue. The hotel is about 7 miles to Gerhart's. Senior rate is $63 (regular rate $70). Not much for breakfast but I usually eat at the Lititz Family Cupboard (on the way to and about 2 miles from Gerhart's). There is an Italian restaurant within walking distance from the Rodeway and has GREAT pizza. Oregon Farms (another stuffit buffit) is about 5 miles south of the hotel.http://www.rodewayinn.com/hotel-akron-pennsylvania-PA534?listpos=1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap40rocktruck Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 There is a Holiday Inn express in Lititz, but unless you are made of $$, it is a bit pricey at $149.99 a night, for 2 adults in 1 room. The breakfast is typical holiday inn fare, OK but not great. We are staying at this holiday inn ONLY because i am staying free by using points. If you google lititz & take a 15 mile radius there are many good to great options surrounding the area.Rick Quote Richard MarkOwner / Master Model Maker Industrial Model DesignAp40rocktruck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Brocky - did you find a place to stay? Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks guys. Got a room at Super 8 in Lancaster for a decent price. Next Question: Is there any place like a food court, with chairs, where a man can sit down and rest / catch is breath?? My buddy is almost to the point of having to carry an oxygen bottle. Can walk a while then has to sit a while. Or should we plan on bringing some lawn chairs?? Thanks Much Brocky Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Maney Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 There is usually a tent with tables and chairs for people to rest. If for some reason that would not happen this year, there are many places for one to sit and take a break. Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

farmer52 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 No golf cart rentals that I know of.

farmer52 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks guys. Got a room at Super 8 in Lancaster for a decent price.Thanks MuchBrockyIs it the Stupid 8 east of Lancaster on Route 30? If so I stayed there several years ago and it was a "dive". The Rodeway Inn in Akron, PA is a luxury hotel compared to the S8 on Route 30. Hope they remodeled the place and meets with your approval.

Maddog13407 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Never been to Lititiz. this will be my first yea so hopefully it will be a good turn out. I don't mind the gold carts for the people who need them but this year at Macungie was way the hell out of hand. maybe its me but seemed everytime I turned around some asshole was on my heels with their damn gold cart and most were young kids that could have been walking . not only that they seemed to have no respect for anyone walking, like they had the right of way.

farmer52 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Not alot of carts at Gerhart's. Just be careful of all the Macks/trucks arriving and parking.FWIW - I was at Farm Science Review in London, OH this week. You must either be handicapped or medical reason to have a cart on the grounds. This is a new rule instituted since last year's show (previous years overrun with carts). Very few carts this year and the "streets" are marked one way with a "cart lane". I know this is difficult to handle at Macungie. Macugine grounds is about 1/4 the size of FSR so no reason for a cart. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 The Super 8 was nice and clean, reasonable prices,refrig and micro but no coffee pot in room,24 hr coffee in lobby, no problems.. Even had white Americans that spoke English working the desk!!! First night went down the road to Cracker Barrell, the second night just walked next door to a great Pub!! A couple of beers and big a$$ good sandwiches with no worries about driving afterword. My buddy and I ran all back roads from the bottom of Fancy Gap back to Winston Salem with a stop at the Keystone Museum on Sunday on the way home. Leon said it was the best trip we had taken since roaming all over northern New Mexico and Colorado on our way to the ATHS Colorado Spgs show in 2007.

Good to hear it met with your approval. FYI, a few miles east on Route 30 is Route 896. Turn right go a few miles to Hershey Farm stuffit buffit. Turn left at Route 896 and go a few miles to Good 'n Plenty - family style food. Both excellent PA Dutch food! You will not go away hungry.
