I was 2 seconds away from booking a room at a Sheraton Four Points 10mi from Hershey- so I wouldn't have to spend a fortune on a hotel- when I dug up a listing for the Inn at Westwynd at bedandbreakfast.com. I was charmed by the pictures of the Inn on the website, and lucky for me, there was 1 room left, the Roman Canon room. The Roman Canon room is located on the 2nd floor of the inn and has a private porch attached. The room is decorated in the Victorian style and has a private bath, TV, and electric fireplace. In real life it looked exactly how it did in the picture online. The bed could have been a little more comfortable for my taste, but it wasn't terrible--- after an 11-hour day spent at Hershey Park, I had no trouble sleeping at all. I am glad I was able to snatch this room up last-minute!
The inn/farm is literally minutes away from the park and offers a quiet, relaxing haven away from the bustle of Hershey's main drag. Carolyn and Frank were wonderful hosts- Carolyn gave us directions, told us where to get discounted tickets to the park, and prepared an abundance of delicious pastries--- chocolate chip cookies, lemon cookies, chocolate-caramel brownies, lemon squares, lemon-pecan coffee cake, chocolate banana bread... .Reading about homemade breakfasts and fresh baked goods available round-the-clock on tripadvisor.com alone got me excited, and the assortment exceeded expectations.
We (my boyfriend and I) were out and about quite a bit for our short weekend stay in Hershey- had we more time, we would have liked to stay longer and just relax & hang out... we are hoping there will be another opportunity in the near future.
If you are looking for a cute, quiet, romantic, relaxing place to stay, and a breath of fresh air, I definitely recommend the Inn at Westwynd. The best things about it have to do with the fact that you feel like you're at home -you can come and go as you please, stroll the farm grounds, grab something to drink from the fridge, eat as many chocolate chip cookies as you want. What's not to love?
