Hotels near Penn State Center at Overlook Park in Allentown

Self-driving from JFK, normal for an hour, normal traffic jam for two hours The front desk is an uncle, the check-in process is very rigorous Next to the oversized 4S store Free parking in the town American breakfast Nothing else

While the hotel itself was nice, the check-in was a disaster. I had called ahead to let the hotel know we would be arriving between 2am and 3am, due to a late arrival into Newark. When we arrived around 2:45am we were told we could not check-in after driving over an hour and spending another 5+ hours on a cross country plane trip, because the computers were in the middle of a ”reboot” to close out the evening. I was told that if I had called in to tell them we were arriving late someone would have printed keys for us advance, so it was obvious to the hotel clerk we didn't call in (which as previously stated we did). All in all we had to wait an extra half hour to check in, after which we were told the keys probably wouldn't work, so we had to wait for a maintenance guy to walk us up to our room and let us in, and then to add insult to injury, the next day, the front desk calls me up and tells me we never left a credit card imprint (which we did, one of the reasons we had to wait half an hour), so we would have to rush back to the hotel to provide a credit card or risk losing our room for the second night.

Red Roof Inn Allentown South Allentown TOTAL DUMP FOR $116. No elevator! Bathroom was filthy and falling apart. Floor was dirty so I had to keep my shoes on, sheets are thin and not cotton maybe. Floor was uneven in some places like it had flooded and not been fixed, only covered over…and this was the second floor! I checked the mattress. It was encased but the case was spotted with what looked like mold on the sides. There was other peoples’ hair stuck/glued to the side of the tub. I woke up with my entire face swollen. I didn’t have a choice. Tried to find other pet friendly hotels but all were booked due to a big dog show. I was in the area for that show so had a lot of equipment and a dog who cannot do stairs until she’s 2 and there is NO ELEVATOR! What a nightmare. The whole place was sketchy. I think some people live there full time. I get it, housing is awful in this country but this place felt like it was owned by someone doing the least for residents and guests and charging the most. Oh, there’s an adult toy store next door and I smelled ********* the entire time. The pool is closed it says “due to COVID” which is beyond ridiculous and I’m the type who still masks. They just don’t want to maintain it. I have a suspicion it’s the same for the elevator. I honestly felt like it was akin to the quality of a prison. It felt stark and cold and hard.

This hotel is very difficult to find, especially in the dark… signage is minimal if any. No real directions on where to park. There is a parking garage attached to the building. No safety measures that we could see; anyone could enter the maze of hallways…a gauntlet of twists & turns that you have to navigate on foot in order to find the actual hotel. UNSAFE!!!We were told NO luggage carts so be sure and pack lightly. Check in took FOREVER and there was no body in front of us. Front desk clerk was however very knowledgeable. No ice that we knew of. ***Excellent breakfast buffet on the weekend …it blew us away!!!AND very pleasant hostess. Requests were not met for additional towels. We would not stay here again even though we are loyal to Marriott.

Location not super - about 15 minutes from Bethlehem downtown. Newish hotel and the interior is a little more lux than your typical mid-range US hotel. That being said, the breakfast was a disappointment. No healthy options: just sugary yogurt (why no plain greek yogurt?), the bananas had brown spots on them each of the 3 days I stayed (and weren't replaced), the oats were DIY from a packet which are never as nice as when they are made up as a batch which negated the appeal of the toppings.

The location is remote but very quiet, it is the best break in several hotels

We loved this hotel. Peaceful and quiet. Everyone was friendly. Above all, the cleanliness was out of this world. The room was meticulous! The bathroom was spotless! The bed was more comfortable than our own and we slept so well. Thank you so much!

We recently spent an overnight stay at ”HOTEL BETHL EHEM” to celebrate our ”60th Wedding Anniversary”. It was the most fasinating & awesome place we have ever stayed at. We have owned a time share for 20 years & have probably stayed at as many as 50 different resorts & to us they were all wonderful. But this experience was just over whelming. Our room was outstandingly beautiful, perfectly clean & more lovely then we could even try to describe. The staff was the best, we ate at the hotel in there terrace room & that was as beautiful as anyplace I have ever seen. The food was top notch & there breakfast in their tap room was above all... totally delicious. My only wish is that I would have stayed here before. We only live 45 minutes from here & this was our first visit. Above all....you must give it a try. Karl & Donna Stauffer
