I been here since 12/22/25 n it's amazing breakfast good n people are nice to you
I stayed here for about 2 weeks when family was in the hospital and I can't recommend it enough. If you're looking for super fancy, this may not be your choice. However, if you're looking for a great location near the hospital or Dorney Park, this is the place. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet. Everything you could need is either a quick walk or drive away. It's the only hotel I've stayed in in the area where you can't hear noise from neighboring rooms or the traffic outside.
Nice place to stay. Breakfast was decent, and the staff was polite and welcoming. Special thanks to the main manager for being supportive and attentive.
This is our new go-to hotel when we are in allentown. 5 minutes from the hospital, 5 minutes from either highway exit. Nothing over the top fancy but rooms are clean, price is affordable, and staff hasn't disturbed us when the sign is up... which we REALLY APPRECIATE.
I was really impressed by the location and cleanliness of our room. Everything was perfect for our wknd get away. Our room was really cute and beds comfortable. Everything functioned as it should. The Staff was excellent!! They were friendly and kind and available.
