Courtyard Bethlehem Lehigh Valley/I-78

Great hotel. I am here for business on a regular basis, and this is my top choice in the area. Staff is friendly and accommodating, and the rooms are clean and well– maintained.

We are often traveling between Virginia and Massachusetts and this has become our go to hotel for our overnight stop on the long journey. We highly recommend this Courtyard by Marriott. We are usually totally exhausted when we arrive and the attentive and gracious staff — especially Trevor and Keith — are always most welcoming and help us to decompress. We will definitely continue to come here.

Surprisingly better than expected. Very clean everywhere including carpets in hallways.
Bathrooms were well lit and up to date. Amenities in bathrooms were lame but I bring my own toiletries anyway.
Pillows were typically tiny. That is a negative. Great multi item charger bedside required no outlet. I want one of these things. It was a radio, nightlight, USB port mini charger port. Fabulous item.
TV worked great.
Front desk was friendly and efficient.
Don’t pay list price.

I’m giving one star because I like the front desk staff here. Thats about it. This hotel is a no thrills hotel in the middle of no where PA. The worst part is the WIFI is absolutely unusable. Wifi speed is about .25 MBPS and its to the point where I’m ready to check out and find a new hotel for this reason alone. I could probably find better WIFI walking the streets then I can 5 inches from the wifi router in the hallway. I just don’t understand how a hotel in 2016 could have speeds so slow, i’m willing to pay for higher speed but this isn’t even an option.

Nice hotel. Location is very convenient. Rooms are clean and everybody is very friendly. They have breakfast but a little bit overpriced. Additionally, rooms are not soundproof and you can hear all neighbors and what’s happening in the hallway.

I stayed up here last weekend for a weekend long event.
I really liked it here. I wanted a clean, quiet, conveniently located place to stay.
Check, check, and check.
The staff was very friendly and this place is within walking distance of several restaurants.
If you need a place to stay up here then why bother looking anywhere else.
Here’s my nitpick list –
They have a little hotel shop and $ 7 for a bottle if beer is kinda steep.
The hotel pool is only 4 ft deep, bummer.
Their «normal» rate is pretty exhorbant — make sure you look for a discount code.
Whereas I’m thinking «free breakfast» theirs is $ 12 and doesn’t open until 7am.
So bring your own snacks (including breakfast), don’t bring a swimsuit, and look for discounts and you’re good to go.

We brought our college lacrosse team of 35 girls here and they had a pipe burst about 3 weeks prior, damaging all their double rooms. Instead of cramming as many as they could in 1 room, they gave all of us (coaches and players) our own king suites! Super clean, Amazing hospitality and great service from all their employees!

Been here a few times and have always had a good stay for corporate meetings. Clean rooms, good breakfast and a bar that opens in the evening. Area for computers and printers to help do some last minute arrangements. Great Staff. Local restaurants in the area and not a lot of road noise.

Was working @ Easton Hospital for a couple of weeks. This is a newer and very nice Courtyard. Always greeted as a Platinum member and always upgraded. Rooms are clean and beds comfy. Check in was efficient. Price was around $ 125

The hotel is definitely a bit dated, but the rooms renovated. There is always a party in the bar — as there are not too many places in walking distance and the Ruby’s closes at 10. They stayed open late since we were drinking and paying.
As with most Courtyards — a decent breakfast (not free). The bed was comfy and the room clean, plenty of parking, Additionally, the typical tiny fitness room, sundry shop, etc.
I’m bummed as my Marriott Rewards card couldn’t be run (not a limit issue) so I couldn’t get my bonus points for staying… boo hoo.

This is one of the nicer hotels we’ve stayed in in this area. My tips: the rooms are not soundproof & you can hear what’s happening in the hallway. We thought people were trying to get into our room the whole time. There’s no room service & the morning breakfast is definitely not worth the price. Positives: some of the desk staff were really personable. The rooms are a nice big size & the beds are comfortable.

Stayed here for NYE 2013 into 2014.
I have always been a Marriott fan and this hotel has further secured my loyalty with the Marriott group. The free NYE shuttle service to Sands Casino was the main reason I chose to book. The employee operating the shuttle that night, Ryan was beyond wonderful. He was courteous, on time, attentive, and I found it to be extremely gracious that he spent his NYE driving others around so they could ring in the new year safe and happy. The front desk staff were all extremely friendly, polite, and helpful. A clean & polished lobby, warm décor, proper and spacious rooms, Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner provided (a nice change from the junky stuff), quick and easy access off of I-​78, and a value greater than the price you pay all make the Courtyard by Marriott I-​78 the only place I will chose upon my next visit to Bethlehem.
[I have only removed one star because it is extremely important to me that a hotel is pet-​friendly. If this place welcomed pets, the fifth star would be undoubtedly added.]

I stayed here for a quick over night. I found this Courtyard on a travel site, and the location was good — right off the Interstate. It had good reviews so I gave it a try. It was fantastic. Big, beautiful lobby. Super nice guy welcoming me. The room was bigger than most with 2 queens, frig, coffee pot, a nice closet for your clothes, dresser, etc. The beds were big and comfortable, firm yet cushy. And, the pillows were the BEST EVER. The BEST. Hotel pillows are usually too soft, too hard, too flat, etc. These are just perfect. If I could have taken one, I would, but I try not to steal! No free breakfast, but free wifi and free parking. I am glad I stayed here and would definitely again. Oh, there is plenty of stuff around here. Lots of stores and restaurants, and there is a Ruby Tuesdays right in front of it. You won’t starve or have a lack of shopping. And, there is a restaurant in the hotel. I didn’t eat at the hotel restaurant this time, but I have in the past at Courtyards and its usually pretty good

Very comfortable, good location-​, at least for some shopping :), with Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, Bed Bath, and Lowes all right next door. Rooms are very quiet, didnt hear a noise in halls or anywhere. Beds are comfy, rooms are bit smaller is a downside., Also, breakfast not included which was a bummer– but I had a great omlet and buffet for $ 10.95. I also downgraded one more star because prices were steep 30 dollars more per night than the Sands Casino and nearby Holiday Inn Express.

The only reason why I would stay here is because the client has a special rate with the hotel. Currently staying here, but not getting much rest. The AC/​Heat system is so noisy it wakes me up every time it goes off each night.
One night the power went off in the hotel and there was a poor unfortunate person who was stuck in the elevator. The patrons were telling the person at the front desk that this happened and her response was, «the general manager is coming in and he will know what to do about it.»
So the patron called the fire department about the situation, since the person in who was supposed to run the hotel at that time apparently was not up to the task.
I have to return here and stay another time for my client, but not sure if it would get better. BTW the only reason why I did not give one star was the staff that attends the people for breakfast, they are really good and attentive, they deserve better management to work for.

I wish this Marriott was a little more business-​friendly with their internet speed. 10Mpbs? Really?

This Courtyard Marriott is pretty new (I can tell just simply by the décor since I travel so much). The staff is prompt and friendly, although when we asked about extra sheets for the pull out sofa, they did mention where we’d be able to find it in the room, however there was only a blanket; no sheets, no extra pillows.
Other than that, the stay was comfortable and it was in a convenient location for us.
