If you stay in one that is east of Kutztown, you would head into Kutztown on US-222 and turn left on Noble Street. If you stay at the Super-8, ask them for directions to US-222 (I know the back way, but don't know the street names... major way would be to take I-78 West to PA-737 South into Kutztown, right onto Main Street, then left onto Noble). -Tim, Allentown PA
