We came for 2 nights for our 51st wedding anniversary. We spent our wedding night there 51 years ago. And we really enjoyed walking around the town this time. Very nice restaurants. the Moravian history, and the colleges and the Steel Mill. We also liked that the elevators were not slow. Our bedroom and the marble bathroom were beautiful. Our bed was comfy and the sheets so soft! And our window views were interesting and wonderful of the historical buildings, bridges and the mountains. And thanks for having a fridge and hot beverage choices in the room.

Everything was great. Oh, actually we thought your restaurant menu prices were pretty steep. So we ate some nice meals elsewhere. We did have a drink in the Tap Room.

Love the ambiance and the entire vibe of the city. Great food and shops. My wife and I had our engagement, bridal shower, and wedding all at the hotel 20 years ago. We keep coming back yearly and love it. The service is outstanding and the hotel is always kept pristine. I recommend the Hotel Sugar Cake with your coffee! Many options in town all walking distance for food shopping and entertainment. If you can get away for a visit during the Christmas Season there is nothing better! Ask about their haunted rooms!

There is a great ice cream shop owned by the Hotel that closes early so any thoughts of a late after dinner treat are a no go. I also always hate the fact that they charge parking for customers staying in the hotel. It should be complimentary imo for what the rate is per night; but you do get the perk of at least having a place to park in the heart of town where parking is limited so I see it both ways. Not much to hate here at the Hotel Bethlehem.

The ambiance goes without saying but our personal reasons for returning is the exceptional service. The entire staff is amazing. I attribute this to the Guest Services Director Kelly Ronald’s . Kelly was kind enough to extend a later check out request due to personal medical reasons making my mornings very difficult. Also, much to my surprise when we arrived we were upgraded to a Wonderful Suite. I truly believe Kelly is the reason for the amazing staff . I can’t thank her enough & the entire staff . We will be back .

this hotel was a hotspot back in the day, where who’s who would visit and lend more credibility to this historic site. pictures of previous presidents and notable guests are littered throughout the hotel giving it it’s historic charm! The experience of walking into my room was like a throwback to the yesteryears of my fathers era. everything from the sink fixtures, and to the wallpaper and vaulted ceiling was all well within their theme. it was cold that night, in the teens actually. The room was set to 85° a little too warm for my taste so I decided to drop the thermostat down to a comfortable 70°. unfortunately, air conditioning was not accessible so I had to open the window to equalize the temperature on my own but I love sleeping to cold fresh air again. Do I see this as an inconvenience or as part of its historic charm? I chose the latter. The bed was firm, but surprisingly comfortable. I slept like a baby the next morning I had an incredible shower. The trick to the shower knob is to continuously charted to the left until you get hot water and then adjust accordingly. The soaps and shampoos were a unique and great experience also. I enjoyed that. The only discomfort during mice day was standing catty corner to the sink in the bathroom while shaving and brushing my teeth as the wall in front of the sink is very close to it where one would have to squeeze through to be centered in front of the sink. again, do I take this as a discomfort, or the charm of the known architecture back in those days. Again, I chose the latter. Lol. made my way downstairs to have breakfast; complimentary breakfast, as the night auditor, Clara, noticed that I was a very weary traveler, coming in at 1 AM tired from a 65 hour duty. She had pity on me and granted me this wonderful complimentary breakfast certificate. I ordered a big breakfast, and it was incredibly delicious.

The property was in well, keeping of its historic charm as it is surrounded by the historic district. Every detail within the hotel expresses the theme.

The location of this hotel is stellar for exploring downtown Bethlehem, which is amazing! All of the spaces are gorgeous and the food at all the restaurants is top notch.

The beds are very firm and were pretty uncomfortable for us. On top of the mattress, the bed frames were extremely creaky so you couldn't even shift your weight without making a LOT of noise. The room was also very small, which is to be expected with historic hotels.

The hotel was beautiful and definitely historic. The staff was wonderful, 1741 Restaurant was outstanding. We went for our 39th wedding anniversary and they sent up a complimentary bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. They went above and beyond.

Loved everything.

The hotel Bethlehem is a staple of the community. So much beautiful history and quite the line up of notable people have stayed there. It feels like you’re taken back in time. The building is well maintained and the staff are super friendly.

Would’ve liked a bigger bed than full sized for my husband and I.

We had a rough start with miscommunication with a staff member. The management went above and beyond to optimize and neutralize the situation. We soon forgot the start and enjoyed a wonderful stay. Our room was impeccably clean. The decor was spot on. The room was on the smaller side, no place to really sit and relax, but was what we booked. The location is outstanding on Main street with a lot of things going on, including outdoor dining and music, shops, people and natural area around the corner to enjoy. Lots of historic sites close by too.

The parking deck, no elevator, is behind the Hotel. It would be nice to have valet, but "can't because of Covid". Hopefully that will not be an issue soon.

They accommodated my request to be on top floor. Room service was amazing. Food tasted great, and bought to us in a timely manner. Staff was great other then one bar tender but the others made up for it.

The first time I went to the bar, a male bartender told me he was calling last call that I had to order at that moment because they was closing. I ordered my drink and sat outside for about an hour or so talking and sipping my drink as I was told they were closing so I assumed I couldn't have another. When I came in to go to my room there was still people being served at the bar.
