I'm trying to pick a hotel for a spring trip to Lancaster...never been? Any suggestions. There will be 5 of us going. A nice hotel would be great. Indoor/outdoor pools are a must. Anyone stayed at Eden Resort and Suites???Thanks [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/zwavin.gif[/img]

We've stayed at the Willow Valley Resort all four times we've been to Lancaster and it's gorgeous! It really can't be beat, and it's only ten minutes away from all of the attractions.

I haven't stayed at Eden Resorts, but I've seen it and had brunch there. It looks like a very nice restort. There's tons of nice places there. I know there was a thread on this topic this past spring. You may want to do a search for it . . . or if I find it, I'll edit this post to include it.

Thanks for the tips, I was looking at Willow Valley too! How far in advance do you have to book for either April or end of June timeframe??

We have also stayed at Willow Valley and enjoyed it. Its hard to say how far in advance that you need to book. If there is a special event going on then it will book up quick. It is not unusual for this resort to be sold out. The end of June is usually Day Out with Thomas the Tank Engine so that will book up first.

HOST Resort has indoor/outdoor pools and is directly across the street from Dutch Wonderland amusement park.

I have to give a nod for Willow Valley too. It has grown through the years. Now there is a small indoor waterpark. There is also another indoor/outdoor pool. The food is delicious. The bake shop is perfect for a quick breakfast. The kids love the hotdog and hamburger donuts for breakfast.

The rooms are beautiful. We have stayed in just about every one they offer. When our family was 5, we had the Family Suite that slept six. When we changed to 4, we had the 2-room suite - excellent! It's our favorite. The one room has a king bed, the other a queen sleeper pull-out. It was perfect for us.

The costs can be high - you might want to watch for spring deals. There is usually a spring bed and breakfast one.

We started going to WDW more often when our 2-room suite was more expensive than Port Orleans. So even though I love Willow Valley, I have to thank them for their increase! It showed DH that Disney was just as reasonable with our APs and other shortcuts.

Have fun choosing. There are a lot of small hotels in the area. You can go much cheaper and still have a good place to stay.

We also like Willow Valley. Amish Family Inn is nice also, they have 2 indoor pools & 1 outdoor pool. Fulton Steamboat Hotel is very nice, it only has an indoor pool -- none outside. The inside of this hotel is beautiful. We go to Lancaster 2-3 times per year.
