“Nothing but Comfort & Joy at the Staybridge Suites: Allentown”

If Favorite “Sun” and I had a top 5 favorite hotels list, then the Staybridge Suites Allentown would definitely make the cut. This is an extended stay hotel complete with complimentary amenities for your comfort… and what they don’t have in the room, the staff goes out of its way to find them or a solution. Speaking of the STAFF… they are fantastic!!! Every time we arrive, they treat us like family returning home, and I really appreciate how kind they are to my kid. Thank you Meghan, Robbie, and Lameika for making our stays so enjoyable. Now, let’s get into the room!! First, they are SPOTLESS and designed like mini apartments with a kitchen (with dinnerware, cookware, microwave, and fridge), bathroom with tub, extra pillows and blankets. We continue to be impressed with the housekeeping staff’s attention to cleanliness… especially the floors and the carpet, which were “eat off the floor clean”. In the morning there is a full breakfast which was pretty good; get there early because it is super crowded. The gym is adequate and there is a pool although we didn’t use it. Can the hotel possibly add two more waffle makers? It’s a popular area and causes quite the traffic jam in such a small space. Just a thought… Traveler tips: Target (for good grocery deals), Panera Bread, Mensi’s Fro Yo, 5 Below (if you have kids like me), and a gas station are all across the street. There is also a Red Robin and Sonic, although I don’t recommend… (too many inconsistencies.. don’t say I didn’t warn you); Fave Sun instead encourages a try at Miller’s Brewhouse for the handcut fries and burgers (which is in the Target plaza)… I promise, he did not try the brews!!🙂 ** sorry, just one more thing to note: while I can appreciate pet lovers who love on their dogs, some people are pet averse. Bringing your Great Dane or St. Bernard to breakfast is not only unsanitary, but totally uncool; not to mention, these dogs have an intimidating presence. No… I do not wish to have dog slobber with my meal and there were kids who were afraid to go into the dining area. Please don’t put the staff in an unfair and awkward position to ask you to remove your pet from the food table… instead… read the very small breakfast room!!

“Comfortable hotel, great location”

I would stay here again, but would ask for a quiet location. We moved to this hotel after an unpleasant experience with a different hotel chain.

I would stay here again, but would ask for a quiet location. We moved to this hotel after an unpleasant experience with a different hotel chain. The front desk agent allowed us to check in early which was extremely helpful. We had a 2 bedroom suite which was amazing. So much space, and very clean! Well worth it after having to move. Huge bonus, Red Robin is a hop, skip and jump away. The food is decent so we ate there about 3 times. Breakfast at the hotel was also VERY good especially considering it is complimentary. This is a great value because we aren't breakfast people but always enjoy having fruit or scrambled eggs. The waffles were a real treat, and there was also fountain soda. The coffee station is 24 hours which was wonderful as well. Staff was very nice and super friendly. Location was great. There is a lot of shopping nearby, also close to Dorney Park and several caves we wanted to visit. The pool was sufficient. I chose this hotel because it has a seasonal outdoor pool - hard to find in PA. But during the summer, I prefer the outdoor pools at the hotels to enjoy the sunshine. The one drawback - there was a large family staying at the hotel over the weekend and they pretty much dominated the pool area and BBQ grills, blasting music and yelling/singing so loudly. We bought hot dogs from Omaha Steaks (there is so much good shopping in the area) with a plan to use the grills, but couldn't. They started a party at the pool area from early Friday and continued through Sunday. When we were checking out on Sunday, they were in the elevator with boxes of coronas headed to the pool at 11am. Friday night, they blasted music until 1am, so sleep was awful. My window overlooked the pool. Saturday night it was the same all day, I had to ask the front desk to help lower the music. This wasn't even a reserved party, this was just a very loud group. If this is normal for this hotel, it is likely not a place we'll ever be able to use or recommend.

“Almost a 10 score”

Don't expect to use the "business center". 2 computers and a printer are all useless. No power to any nor did I even see a power cord. Thankfully the front desk employee kindly did a "work around the problem" and he was able to print what I needed. Besides, even if they had been working, they're p… more

Don't expect to use the "business center". 2 computers and a printer are all useless. No power to any nor did I even see a power cord. Thankfully the front desk employee kindly did a "work around the problem" and he was able to print what I needed. Besides, even if they had been working, they're poorly located in the breakfast seating area where there is no privacy. Other than that major issue I'd give it 10/10 for everything else. Cleanliness, staff, breakfast, location, ALL was impressive and I was pleased to have chosen this hotel.
