“Nice, clean, quiet and well staffed. Wish I had known there was a pool. We had a very nice stay. For $99 a night, Id like to have some complimentary breakfast.”

• I liked the beds, although my husband complained about them this time and about the pillows, too.
• My husband complained about the pillows and beds.

“This hotel is in a great location. It's very homey with a nice "hang out" room with a computer, big TV, microwave and even microwave popcorn that guests can cook up to go with their movies. This hotel has a pretty nice snacks to go area, including beer and wine, and some simple TV. dinners. All of that can be charged to the room. There is a buffet/continental style breakfast in the restaurant that is cheap and can be charged to the room. You can even get to go boxes for the breakfast and they will provide a nice large tray to carry up to your room. They had an extensive pay per view selection, including some TV. shows on demand. The beds seemed to be some kind of foam core which was nice for me, b/c I sleep weird. The pillows were fluffy, but not super substantial. We really like this hotel and stay here quite often. We especially enjoyed it this time, b/c we had planned, in advance, to watch several movies and enjoyed the free popcorn, getting snacks, eating breakfast in the room, and all of that. I totally recommend this hotel.”

• Overpriced hotel.

“Overpriced for a mediocre facility. Relatively close to airport but no shuttle available and limited taxi service. No info available on transportation to Penn station. Long check in lines at various times. Like so many hotels, complimentary continental breakfast not available to travelers with early flights.”

• A business center for those of us who need it!
• No fridge, no microwave, and no airport shuttle!

“For the most part this hotel was what I expected. However, with its location right across from the airport I expected a shuttle service. There was none. The taxi service did not run from 4:45 to 5:15 am due to shift change, which was precisely when I needed to get to the airport. So I got up earlier to get a taxi before the shift change and, it was twenty minutes late! Valuable sleep time at that hour. There also was no coffee available at 4:20 am even though the hotel claims to have 24 hour coffee in the lobby. This entire aside, the hotel was pretty good. I'd stay there again.”

• We stay here about once a month, we like the beds, cleanliness, location and price.
• The beds in the room we got this time seemed a little more worn, mattresses not as good or needing replacement soon, I¿m not sure.

“We stay at this hotel about once a month and really love the price, location, beds, cleanliness. We were a little less happy than usual this time, and have paid a little more to stay somewhere else the next time we stay in this area. We'll see if we like that hotel better or not.”

• The indoor pool.
• Rudeness of the individuals who worked there.

“The hotel advertised that you receive a continental breakfast. I went down for breakfast with my 10 year old son at 6:50am and started to serve ourselves. A very rude individual told me it was not time for the breakfast bar to be open, they still had approx. 10min. At that point we had already had food on our plates. We were told to proceed and the next day at check-out I get a bill for $18.00 each for breakfast. I understood it was free with my visit.”

“Courtyard by Marriott in Bethlehem P.A. is a clean and efficient residence. There was a computer in the lobby for guest access, a small but working health facility, a conveniently located indoor pool, and a washer dryer. Everything you need is available in this clean and tightly run establishment.”

• The bed.

“This hotel certainly met all but one of the requirements of a 2 star hotel. Unfortunately, the bed felt like there was no mattress on it. In fact, I checked in the morning to see if there was anything over the box spring If I can't sleep, it's hard to recommend a hotel.”

“nice location (convenience to some nice restaurants, to Allentown and Bethlehem.). clean and comfortable. but if you like more space and more facilities (microwave, fridge), you might want to consider Residence Inn which is right beside courtyard.”

“The hotel was very helpful. I had to have surgery and my two siblings were coming from Michigan to Pennsylvania. The hotel was helpful and gave us a room with two beds. They even got us a microwave and fridge so that when I was there recovering my siblings would have access to food. I would love to stay with Courtyard Marriott again.”
