ATTENTION-HOTEL UPDATE: 

We have been notified that the Hilton Harrisburg room block for the night of September 9 is sold out. 

For many years, our overflow hotel has been the Crowne Plaza a few blocks away; however, due to another event in the area, both the Hilton and the Crowne Plaza are fully sold out for that date.

We have secured additional rooms at the Penn Harris Hotel and Convention Center, located just 2.7 miles (about an 9-10-minute drive) from the Hilton Harrisburg. The rate is $110.00 per night, plus taxes. The Penn Harris is located at 1150 Camp Hill Bypass, Camp Hill, PA 17011; more information about the hotel can be found here.

To reserve a room, please call 717-763-7117, Option 1, and mention PA Legal Aid, Statewide Conference.

PLEASE NOTE:

• For those that plan to stay the nights of September 8 and 9, we do have rooms available at the Penn Harris for the 8th, so that you won’t have to switch hotels if you need both nights.
• For those that plan to stay the night of September 8 ONLY, the Hilton does currently have availability on the 8th; feel free to utilize that option if you prefer the Hilton.

Since the Penn Harris Hotel is located across the river from downtown Harrisburg, individuals staying there will need access to a vehicle or may use Uber or Lyft. Here is a link to google maps from the Hilton to The Penn Harris: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qVUFRM9oBJHWzgSj8
