Amenities are the highlight

If you are looking for chic, modern and brand spanking new, do not read this review.
This property is dated but has decent updates. The highlight is the common areas. There’s an indoor pool, gym, 1/2 basketball court, spacious breakfast seating, outdoor grills, fireplace(s), library, billiard table, outdoor seating which is both covered and open air, suites are roomy but somewhat dated with some basic updates that bring it to comfy level. Then add the full kitchen and it gets more comfy. There are seating areas throughout that I used for personal phone calls while my wife worked from the room.

Big Disappointment

Needed a place while our dog was admitted to hospital. Reserved a suite for over $200 a night. Room was a shambles. Light bulbs missing, furniture damaged, tv cables exposed along walls, rusty fire sprinkler, battery dead in smoke detector (kept beeping and had to find someone to change battery), vent in bathroom falling off the ceiling, duct tape repair on AC. 2 bones because the bed was comfortable and the big screen tv worked.

Comfortable and Convenient Stay

Great front desk staff! This downtown Bethlehem location is close to Main Street, Rte 378 and 22. It’s a good alternative if you can not book a room in Allentown. The parking garage is directly across the street. A particular noteworthy plus is the insulated ice bucket and glasses as well as available snacks, sandwiches and beverages (adults included). I signed up for Hyatt rewards because a return trip is in the near future.

Great beach stay for Fido

This is a great place to stay with canine companions. Our 9th floor King Room was roomy and we enjoyed a great view. The bar, restaurant, outside deck and staff were inviting and allowed for a very relaxed environment. We will return.

Spacious Suite

This location provided a first floor spacious suite. Unfortunately, the wattage of light bulbs was too low making the sitting area dingy. The volume on the TV remote did not work and there were no tissues. It is conveniently located to a major road and casual dining. If the small details were absent, I’d give 4 bones based on room size for the price of a weeknight stay.

Nice Stay

Good location. Comfortable bed. The room was a little smaller than other Holiday Inns, no microwave in the room, and the refrigerator was small. That’s the reason for the three bones. It’s really 3 1/2 bones.

A must on the boardwalk

We came back on day 2 of our getaway. Our server (Sierra) remembered our canine companion from the day before and was not our server the day prior. The raw bar selections were great as was the burger. This is a “must” when visiting the VA Beach boardwalk with Fido.

Great Downtown Location

We’ve stayed at this hotel a few times over the past few years. It has always been a positive experience. And we will be staying again this summer in July. Solid 4 bones.

Great Unwind

The staff was friendly and accommodating. Our room was a “presidential” suite. Kitchenette, seating area with desk, upholstered arm chair, coffee table and sofa. Bedroom was private. The bed was very comfortable and the area quiet. There’s plenty of grassy area for Fido and provided waste stations/trash cans. Not 5 bones because the property is a bit dated and there was no buffet breakfast (sandwiches to microwave, bagels, yogurt, cream cheese, juice and coffee was provided). It was a good value for us. You can walk to Wayback Burgers if you’re into a retro burger shack.

Decent overnight stay

This motel is under some renovation. The parking lot is security gated. The room was clean and had a small sofa/couch, luggage stand and an armoire. The room was updated with furnishings and flooring. The TV was small compared to hotel sizes but was sufficient. The mini fridge was a good size with a small freezer. This location is close to several interesting eateries and Evolution Brewery. The breakfast was mediocre. Best avoid if you are seeking spacious room, big TV, breakfast buffet and dedicated bathroom area and ample working desk.

Convenient Stay

This property is next to the I-95 corridor and we stayed to break up our trip. Very clean and friendly with an ample kitchenette with full size refrigerator. Plan on cooking in, going out or delivery. But, there are plenty of snacks, treats, drinks and microwave foods for purchase. Ice cream too!

Great Stay for Fido

Very dog friendly staff. King room was large and comfortable. Complimentary breakfast covers all the basic and more. This is the hotel of choice when we travel through eastern shore.
