Holiday Inn Express & Suites Bethlehem Arpt-Allentown Area

I travel to Beth a lot and tend to stay here. Always accommodating, they’ve definitely screwed up before but they’re always really nice about it and fix the problem immediately.

I would stay here again. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the beds were above average for a hotel.
The front desk staff was great and very informative about the area. Breakfast changes frequently and they have a menu sitting at the front desk. During our stay they also had a promotion of free pancakes from 8pm-​midnight.
The bathrooms are fine. Clean and somewhat updated but the shower heads don’t provide much pressure unless on the massage setting. This an awkward placement of way outlets in the room would be my only two complaints.

I am spend many nights in Holiday Inn Express in the Northeast and this one is by far the nicest and cleanest. The breakfast is standard powdered type eggs (they aren’t fresh). The breakfast makes the difference from 4 instead of 5 stars. Great place, overall

Beds are wonderful, breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. For some reason tey’re very stingy on the yogurt and milk. They lock it up before breakfast is even over — weird. And when I asked for a yogurt was told breakfast was over but she’d get me one from the back refrigerator even though people were still in the dining room and it wasn’t 930 yet, must be trying to save money. There’s a Starbucks across the street which is a lifesaver as well as a great sports bar next store

A soft, comfy bed with great pillows is imperative when a red-​eye flight kept you up all night, and as is typical of this chain of hotels, it delivered.
The rooms were clean, the staff at the front desk was friendly, and the breakfast provided wasn’t bad. Not amazing, but it had a decent selection and was edible.
I can’t speak too much if the price was fair for the services given that the tab was picked up by a potential employer who flew me out and I’m not exactly sure how much the room cost.
Conveniently located near the airport yet I didn’t hear a single plane. Inside my room was super quiet — or perhaps I was just too tired to notice?

Eh.
Maybe I can’t fully enjoy any hotel unless I’m earning Starwood points? But this place was not great. Serviceable and less money than the other choices across the street.
The bathroom was big and well done. Water pressure was just OK. The beds were good for this level of hotel. The smoke detector blinked a lot, as has become the standard, and that always bothers me.
Next, they have a pool, but it’s an outdoor pool– in Northern Pennsylvania, so it’s more or less pointless for a ski base camp. HEExpress almost always had an indoor pool. (What happened here?)
The hot breakfast, included with your room, is ok. But they did not have bacon everyday. Huh?
The location is right off the highway, which is good. There was not much for the kids to do and when you are paying more than $ 100 a night you expect some extras.

The staff here is BEYOND helpful! Thanks so much for making my stay more delightful here during winter snow storm pax.
Facilities are 4 stars.
Staff is 5 stars and beyond.
Thanks again.

Checked in here post-​snowboarding trip. We stayed at a suite, which was a one-​bedroom plus a living-​room and kitchenette area. It was spacious for the five of us. They have pull-​out sofa-​beds which made it comfortable for all of us. I was pleasantly surprised by the kitchenette actually having utensils, plates and whatnot. The breakfast bar was nice, your usual Holiday Inn breakfast except that they have cinnamon buns! Overall, if you just need a good night’s rest, you will receive it.
Also, as of January 2014, they have Bath & Body Works WHITE CITRUS as their toiletries line. Yay, that made me sooooo happy as it’s my favorite scent from that company. Enjoy your stay!

The walls are PAPER THIN! You hear conversations next door and if the people speak slightly above that, it gets very loud. On our second night, a family/​friends took up about three rooms near ours. The kids were OUT OF CONTROL (yelling, jumping, screaming, banging on the walls). The parents were in a different room. The kids were slamming the door to go back and forth to the parents room. It went on past midnight. The front desk did nothing about it. Will DEFINITELY not stay there again.

I needed a room for a simple overnight close to the airport. Clean with soft pillows and no frills service. Certainly worked for the purpose I needed it for and would use it again if I ever had to.

Checked into the Holiday Inn for 3 nights and 3 rooms. Traveling with family and friends, visiting the many toddler friendly attractions in the area.
Hotel was as expected. Nothing to blow our minds, but everything one would expect off a nice mid range hotel chain like this one. We had all King bed rooms — one king bed in each — and we wanted them that way. Our rooms were non smoking, linen nice and clean and crisp, towels plenty and clean. Mattresses were friendly to my back, something not said very often for the mid range hotels.
Breakfast was included — saved us time and money, and provided a good healthy start to the day. The amazing press button pancake machine was well appreciated in our group. Hot options were limited, but anything I generally have at home or work was available — bread, cereal, milk, juice, eggs, pancake, fruits, mini muffins, coffee.
We had a change to check the pool out as well. Our 2 year olds loved it. Pool goes from 3 feet to 5 feet, and was large enough to keep our toddlers entertained. If you are interested in doing laps — not the right place, at least not on a busy weekend like we were on.
Among the complaints — the top floor has way too many smoking rooms, and they are all between the elevator and the non smoking rooms at the far ends. This makes you walk through a smoke smelling area. I’m a smoker myself but can not tolerate the stale smoke smell — love how New York has pretty much erased the idea of indoor smoking, except for purpose-​built hookah bars and cigar rooms. Perhaps PA — at least suburban to rural PA — has not caught on with the no indoor smoking concept.
Also missing was the mini fridge — maybe they have portable ones available on request, didn’t get a chance to find out. Traveling with milk drinking toddlers, would have appreciated a fridge and a microwave.
Location — awesome. After driving by some not so awesome neighborhoods, appreciated the hotel area even more. Large well lit parking areas, well maintained buildings in the area, gas station with 24 hour custom ordered pizza opposite the road, and about 10 minutes drive to the local mall with nice food options.
Overall, would love to visit again — whether here or any other Holiday Inn location. Great to find a chain that maintains value and offers a good option to family vacations.

3.5 stars — Affordable price, safe neighborhood, an hour from Philly
We did a last minute reservation for this hotel and got a good deal on a room with a King bed (under $ 100). The hotel is easily accessible, seemed to be in a safe neighborhood. The hotel staff is friendly, and there’s plenty of parking. They have shuttles to the airport (didn’t use), and a park and fly option as well.
Other amenities included access to the fitness center, the swimming pool, and the library. Breakfast is complimentary and seemed like a good option. We drove to Philly (about an hour away) to enjoy the nightlife. Good shopping mall and movie theater in the vicinity (Promenade shops at Saucon Valley).

I was very pleased with this hotel. Also, I wasn’t expecting much.
The room was pretty spacious and clean. I was placed in a room with 2 queen beds. There was a mini bar area for the coffee maker (I actually used it for coffee and tea!), a desk area with two chairs, and a tub in the bathroom. I like that they had PLENTY of wall outlets in the room so I was able to connect my laptop or charge my phone wherever I wanted. Btw, free wifi is awesome and I brought my ethernet cable which made internet access faster.
I took advantage of their amenities. I had to use their business center (which really consisted of a computer and a printer) to print some documents out. It was free of charge! Free breakfast was also awesome. Few selection of coffee brews, teas, and juices. There were cereal, eggs, yogurt, baked goods, sausages, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, etc. Not saying that the food was awesome but it was a pretty wide selection for free breakfast!

First off, I am not a Holiday Inn girl. I only stayed here because Lehigh Hospital paid for this place the night of my sister’s interview. And after one night, I’m still not a Holiday Inn girl.
My sister called twice to request double beds. Not honored. I requested them again at check-​in and even talked to the assistant manager. Another no, unless I was willing to take a smoking room. Boo. I was offered a cot. No thanks. I still have no idea why they were so stubborn, especially when the hotel was empty. Roomwise, it was updated and fine, except for the fact there was no central air, just loud window units. I will say I was skeeved out by the assistant manager. He let me know he was the man and could get me anything I wanted for the rest of my stay. Odd that this man, so obviously the shiznitz, could hook me up with everything except double beds. After giving my sis a heads up about him, all it took was me picking up a copy of the USA Today in the lobby and I got a «You know you want that paper. You know you want to read it so bad. Take it. Take it. Yeeeaaaahhh.» Umm, ok?! Even my sister felt a little dirty after that one sided exchange. So ya, no return visit.

Impressed and Pleased!
I was surprised by the newness and cleanliness of this hotel. My husband and I enjoy traveling so whenever we go somewhere we usually splurge and stay at a Westin Group Hotel. We stayed at this Holiday Inn a few weeks ago when we went to Phili for a family reunion and our cousins had already picked this hotel. The cleanliness and service at this hotel was comparable to some of the Sheratons we have stayed at.
I have to mention the free breakfast buffet. I was so excited about the pancake machine which sort of works like a conveyer belt. I love me some free breakfast!
My only gripe was that despite how big the bedroom was, the bathroom was teeny tiny.
All in all though, reasonable price, friendly service, clean and relatively spacious. I was happy!

I stayed here last year while visiting a friend in the area.
It was a little difficult to find for someone not familiar with the area. The street was dark and it looked like this was in a newly developed area.
The hotel itself even looked new. Nicely decorated, big comfortable rooms and a huge common/​breakfast area.
The only criticism I have is the free wi-​fi was terribly slow. I mentioned this to the front desk and they said they were having problems with it and were looking for another vendor to provide it. Perhaps that has improved.
I would stay here again if given the opportunity.

Checked in last night for a five-​night stay. The room was a very nice size and VERY clean. The bathroom seemed to be newly remodeled and I didnt feel as thought I was in some diseased-​filled location in Fargo, ND!!! The beds are clean and comfy.
Breakfast in the morning is made fresh by staff and doesnt consist of merely crap. They have healthy options along with omlettes, biscuits, sausages and oatmeal.
I definitely recommend it!

I would recommend this hotel to somebody staying in the area. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, and there is a good complimentary breakfast consisting of hot food, yogurt, danish, fruit, and coffee. The hotel also had a nice, modern looking fitness room, business room and pool, although I did not have the chance to take advantage of these amenities during my one night stay. The room itself was very large. The main thing I did not like about the room was the curtains. The white, sheer curtains covered the windows, but the thicker, opaque curtains were designed stay opened and would not pull shut. Being on the first floor and facing the parking lot, it made me very uncomfortable that I could not shut the curtains for privacy.
I booked it from
so I was able to get it at a very reasonable price (although I did not know the name of the hotel until AFTER I had booked it).
