Pennsylvania hotel rated as best in the nation for sleep, according to a new list
A Pennsylvania hotel has taken the No. 1 ranking on a list of the best hotels in the nation for sleep. Using Tripadvisor review data from June 2024 to June 2025, SleepJunkie identified the 200 best hotels across America to see how rested vacationers felt. The rankings were compiled through several review factors, including mattress comfort, room humidity, and nighttime noise levels, among others. The Skytop Lodge in the Poconos, Pennsylvania, took the top spot on the list, noted for its serene, natural scenery on 5,500 acres in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. Those who enjoy outdoor activities like hikes, golf, zip lining, beach, or pickleball are sure to have a worthwhile stay. SleepJunkie also noted that the ever-popular rooms in the stone lodge and plush amenities are fan-favorites, too. Ohio's Hotel Breakers, located on the shores of Lake Erie and steps away from entrances to Cedar Point, also earned top-five honors on the list, thanks to its proximity to the popular amusement park and nearly 700 rooms and suites, with many of which feature lake views and balconies. Two more Pennsylvania hotels were recognized among the best in the country for sleep quality. 53. The Inn at Lincoln Square, Gettysburg The Inn at Lincoln Square, near the Gettysburg battlefields, could transport visitors back to the Civil War with its decor combined with modern amenities. 164. The Hotel Hershey, Hershey Set inside the Hershey resort, the hotel is a 10-minute walk from Hersheypark amusement rides, a 4-minute walk from Hershey Gardens and a mile from ZooAmerica.

Tripadvisor Faces New Investor Pressure to Spin Off Viator
Tripadvisor has another investor pushing for changes, just six weeks after activist investor Starboard Value took a 9% stake. UK-based Palliser Capital claims the company is stifling growth potential as it manages both a struggling legacy Tripadvisor business and Viator, a platform for experiences and its fastest-growing brand. "It is attempting to operate simultaneously as a value business and a growth business — and succeeding at neither," James Smith, Palliser chief investment officer, wrote to the Tripadvisor board. The entire company is worth less than $2 billion today. Palliser thinks Viator alone could be valued at $2-$2.5 billion, and that the entire company is worth around $3.7 billion. It wants Tripadvisor to focus on Viator or sell it. T
