If you're thinking of going to Carlisle this year I would NOT delay finding a
room. They can get REAL hard to come by as the show approaches.
Here's the info. on the on the Stardust Motel:
1502 Holly Pike,
Carlisle PA 17013
(717)243-6058
Holly Pike is PA Rt. 34, the Stardust is just south of I-81.
Like I noted below - it's not posh, but it is comfortable & clean, plenty of
parking, and definitely more character than the Hampton Inn. It's set back
from the road and up on a hill, so it's fairly quiet (the air conditioner may
not be though..) The vintage signs and the friendly manager are pluses.
Bowling alley across the street.
When I checked my reservation yesterday she still had two rooms left that
weekend.
