Bethlehem Best Western.

Average hotel catering to a party crowd and conventions. Staff not helpful. Clerk told us where our room was and we had to walk with the luggage cart to the far end of the motel. When I got to the room there was a back door that went right to a parking lot-the clerk could have told us. He was also unsure as to what the services offered were. Another guest came to complain there was no basket in her coffee maker. Instead of just going to an empty room and getting one he calls housekeeping and the guy comes and looks confused and says its a maintenence problem and of coure the mainitnence guy was out at the airport and now the poor guest would have to stay up to wait for him until he got back. To add to the hilarity of the siutation, when I got to my room, the basket was missing from that coffee pot too. I deciided to go without rather than call the front desk...

One Time Security Guard Was Standing Behind Us. Asked If He Could Have Someone Open The Door,He Said No And Left ! Spoke To General Manager Regarding Outstanding Issues And Asked To Be Compensated For The Problems Stated Above. Told Him That We Did Not Have A Pleasant Stay And Wanted A Refund On The Bill.[...]Would Not Stay Again !

Follow 22 West from hotel. Take the MacArthur Road North exit (first exit) and that will lead you to a shopping experience you will never forget. EVERYTHING is on this road.

Good location

My only problem with this Best Western was the mattress. New ones are needed. Also the dusting of the room leaves a lot to be desired. Location is great-close to airport and my family and friends. Staff is friendly. Computer in lobby very handy and easy to use.

Satisfactory hotel

I was in town for a wedding shower. I arrived at the hotel late (11pm) and checked out by 10:30am the next morning. I really just needed a clean place to sleep and shower. The hotel suited my needs but it wasn't anything special. The continental breakfast was not as good as I'm accustomed to getting at similar hotels. Also, the TV and cable line-up were terrible. I think there were 10 different sports channels but no TLC, Food Network, HGTV, etc. I felt that I paid too much for a hotel of this caliber but it was the going rate in the area that weekend (I think there were weddings and graduations).

A good place to stay.

The hotel was clean and quiet. Everything was very neat and the location was great for our trip. But we requested a king size bed and were given a room with double beds.
