    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 .

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The dinner at the restaurant was not the best. Rolls were like rocks. Meal tasted good but not the top rated meal we hoped. But it was during the first snow of the season and why we were there.

    Beautiful setting. We loved walking around in the snow

    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 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 food and drinks are overtly over priced. The food was "ok" but it was no where close to an adequate level of pricing vs. quality vs. ambiance in the restaurant. We were so disappointed. This really soiled an otherwise great hotel experience.

    The hotel is stunning and rooms were very well done. We enjoyed the ambiance very much.
