    The room was hot although I had AC turned down as far as it would go. Also large recent looking blood stain on the white comforter. There should be NO stains at all.

    Beautiful old hotel. Lobby and restaurants were gorgeous.

    Eyes everything but I would’ve liked a package that include a complementary breakfast I would’ve paid for that..

    Staff were super friendly, was convenient to downtown. Stores were literally across the street, including the famous Moravian bookstore, ice cream, shops, restaurants you name it all within walking distance. Valet service was a Plus!!!

    We loved everything about our stay. Even though it's a famous hotel they don't nickel and dime you over things like parking and bottles of water. It was a beautiful, comfortable stay and we will 100% return.

    Great visit to "Hotel B"

    Our room was cramped, but clean and comfortable. The Valet department needed twice the staff on both our arrival and departure, due to the number of events occurring that weekend. Ended up jumping on the free shuttle to the valet lot to pick up my own vehicle after waiting what seemed 30 minutes.

    Booked "Hotel B" due to its proximity to a Lehigh University reunion. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Wasn't able to dine at 1741 on the Terrace due to events and timing of our departure. The Tap room restaurant had good food and excellent wait staff, dining both at the bar and tables for breakfast and lunch. Bartenders remembered our drink order from the very first time we visited even though they were busy the whole weekend. We never saw Housekeeping, but the bed was always made and clean towels fully stocked. Hotel security delt with an intoxicated person at the bar discreetly and respectfully, escorting them from the property. We enjoyed a nice walk exploring the many shops and even visited with Santa across the street from the hotel.

    The waiting time for the car to be picked, via the Valet Parking services and the price for some things. Single Expresso for 6,5$?

    The beautiful building which is well maintained. The classic vibe which you feel immediately upon entering the lobby. My one complaint would be the rooms need a little tlc,especially the bathrooms. Cracked porcelain, stained tiles very small. AC was temperamental.

    The dinner was overpriced, with poorly cooked duck and a disappointing surf and turf—the beef was overly salty, and the lobster tail was the smallest we've ever seen. On the bright side, the service was excellent, and the drinks were fantastic.

    This is a superior hotel with excellent staff. The view from Room 916 is astonishing. You will not be disappointed staying here.
