Revision to: Thursday, July 19, 2001
The Hotel is located just off Route 23, south of the entrace to the Valley Forge National Park. There is ample free parking at the hotel. Use the main lobby entrance and follow the signs posted inside.
The following instructions are in two parts. First there are instructions to get you to the Valley Forge/King of Prussia area, the two sets of detailed local area instructions. Note that detailed maps can be obtained by entering the Hotel Address at the Yahoo, Google or Map It mapping sites on the Internet.
FROM THE NORTH, via Route 422: Heading South on Route 422, exit at the ROUTE 23 exit, just after you cross the Schuykill River Bridge. Turn left on Route 23 East (away from the VAlley Forge park), crossing over Route 422 and proceed to the light a MOORE ROAD. Turn RIGHT at this light and drive South for less than a mile until you reach the next light at FIRST AVENUE. Turn right onto FIRST AVENUE and drive west about 1/3 mile. The RADISON hotel lot will be on your right just before the light at Route 363.
FROM the South, via the Schuykill Expressway: Exit at the MALL BOULEVARD exit, the last exit before the turnpick toll booths. At the first light, turn right onto MALL BOULEVARD on the west side of the Mall. Drive south less that 1/4 mile to the light at ROUTE 363, NORTH GULPH ROAD. Turn right onto Route 363, and proceed north and under the Turnpike bridge. At the light at FIRST AVENUE, turn right and then left in about 1/10th mile into the RADISON hotel parking lot.
FROM ALL DIRECTIONS, via the Pa. Turnpike: Exit at the Valley Forge exit. Just a few feet after paying your toll, exit onto Route 363, NORTH GULPH ROAD. Continue north on this road until it passes under the Pa. Turnpick bridge and then onto the light at FIRST AVENUE. Turn left into the RADISON Hotel parking lot, less than 1/10th mile after the light.
If you miss this quick turnoff, don't panic. Proceed south past and take the next turnoff, the ROUTE 202 SOUTH exit. Continue west a short distance to the ROUTE 422 NORTH exit and follow the information there for the final mile or two to the hotel.
FROM THE WEST AND SOUTH, via ROUTE 202 NORTH: Exit from ROUTE 202 onto ROUTE 422 NORTH at the cloverleaf just before the Schuykill Expressway/Turnpike/King of Prussia area. Proceed north about a mile to the ROUTE 23 EAST exit. Drive east about 1/4 mile until the light at MOORE ROAD. Turn right less than a mile south at the light at FIRST AVENUE. Turn right onto FIRST AVENUE and drive west about 1/3 mile. The RADISON hotel lot will be on your right just before the light at Route 363.
In addition to the routes listed, area residents know of local roads that can get them to the RADISON hotel through the Valley Forge Park and other local roads.
After the meeting, it's best to use Routes 363 and 422 South, both of which pass to the west of the hotel. Routh 363 NORTH takes you to the ROUTE 23 interchange where you can get onto ROUTE 422 NORTH or use local roads, such as ROUTE 23 East or West. ROUTE 363 South takes you back to the Mall area where you can access the Turnpike and other roads. However, if you go WEST on FIRST AVENUE through the light at ROUTE 363/NORTH GULPH ROAD you get immediately onto ROUTE 422 SOUTH. About a mile South, you can connect directly onto ROUTE 202 SOUTH (and westward or ROUTE 202 NORTH. ROUTE 202 NORTH connects directly to the SCHUYKILL EXPRESSWAY SOUTH (to Philadelphia), northward to the PA. TURNPICK entrance and continuing NORTH on ROUTE 202.
Just follow the clearn signage on ROUTE 422 SOUTH to reach these routes out of the King of Prussia/Valley Forge area.
