Williamsport is the birthplace of Little League baseball, and its world series still fills the town each August. The Genetti Hotel, SureStay Collection by Best Western, makes a historic downtown base for it in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna.
Little League's museum and the series stadium sit across the river nearby, the grand lumber-baron mansions of Millionaires' Row line the historic avenue downtown, and the river and the forests and gorges of the Pennsylvania Wilds spread around. A conference center, a restaurant and traditional rooms round out the stay, with dining and downtown close by. The grand old hotel anchors a walkable downtown of shops, theaters and riverfront parks, the world-series complex and the Little League museum draw fans across the river, and the lumber-heritage mansions of Millionaires' Row line the historic avenue nearby. The Susquehanna and the forests of the Pennsylvania Wilds spread around for paddling and hiking, and an excursion railroad runs through the hills. Pine Creek gorge and its rail trail lie a short drive west.
