Travel & accommodations

Travel
If you're flying in for the wedding, consider these airports:
  • Harrisburg - the closest airport, but has fewest flights
  • Philadelphia - about 1.75 hours away by road, but the airport is downtown so if you're driving, the directions are complicated, and you'll have to watch out for traffic.
  • Baltimore Washington International - about 1.5 hours away by car, and a pretty easy drive
Super Shuttle service and other airport taxis are available to Lancaster. Information can be found on the airports' Web sites or on SuperShuttle.com.

Amtrak also runs to Lancaster; see its Web site for schedules. Local taxis are usually available, and both the hotels and the synagogue are within a 15- or 20-minute drive of the station. You can also rent a car there through Avis Rent-a-Car.

Directions
The wedding will be held at Temple Beth El in scenic Lancaster, PA. Directions are available here.

For our out-of-town guests who received invitations to the Saturday evening dinner, the dinner will be held at Symposium Restaurant in Lancaster. Google maps can give you directions here.

Accomodations
Blocks of rooms have been reserved at two hotels:
For special rates, please mention the Glazer/Hertzberg wedding. Reservations have to be made by Aug. 3 to get the super-special block rate.

Both hotels are on Route 30 in Mountville, PA, about a 15- or 20-minute drive from the synagogue. They're actually located right across the parking lot from each other, too. (They share that parking lot with a miniature golf course and an ice cream shop and grille, too... who's up for mini-golf?)

All of MainStay's rooms are suites with full kitchens, and they all have pull-out sleeper sofas. Some suites have separate bedrooms, too, and some of them have whirlpool tubs. Sleep Inn has some regular single rooms and some suites. Some suites have refrigerators and microwaves.

For other entertainment options, both hotels also have fitness facilities and small swimming pools. MainStay's is outdoor; Sleep Inn's is indoor. Both also have a free high-speed Internet access, a few networked computers and free continental breakfasts, as well as coffee and tea all day in the lobbies.
