Carlisle/Harrisburg Hotels

[headejm]

Starting to plan for Carlisle this year. I've never attended the show but usually start the year thinking I'm going to. No different for this year. My question:

Ignoring price, what are 2 or 3 of the nicer, convenient hotels in the area?

Thanks!

It's not just price...it's also availability. If you want to be close.
The Holiday Inn Express is newer and convenient, but I think pre-booked...that is one example.
Mechanicsburg has a number of places but that's about 1/2 hour away.

I was going to change to a closer hotel this year but when I first tried I was too early then by the time I remembered to try again they were all booked. I ended up booking the same place I have been staying for a bunch of years now - the Holiday Inn Express in New Cumberland.
