Amazing Staff, room could use a good vaccum

The Staff was amazing! Our room was not as clean as I would prefer. Spider webs, dust along the baseboards and around the furniture. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent! I let the front desk know the issues with our room and they made it right!

Gorgeous period hotel. Bathrooms not vented so odors permeated room in the morning which was not ideal. Small rooms. Ours was a double and barely room to walk around. Could easily hear next doors conversation with their children so sound was an issue if your want privacy.

Downtown Bethlehem

A lovely historic hotel decorated very nicely. Comfortable bed. Plenty of lighting. A nice big desk to get work done. Bathroom is nicely appointed but tight on space. It was warm in mid April but the building had not been switched over to air-conditioning from heat yet so we had to open the windows for fresh air, but then had to close them due to Train in downtown traffic noise. They did bring us a fan very promptly. Right in the middle of a very lovely shopping and dining downtown area.

Nice but extremely noisy!

Our room was nice and clean but unfortunately we did not sleep well because the room next to ours rm 604 was extremely loud all night. Either the walls are paper thin or they just were very inconsiderate of others especially at 4am in the morning.
