Pros:

This is a historic hotel that has been refurbished for the modern era. Entering it makes one feel they could be entering the mid-20th century hotel with all the 21st century conveniences. The hotel also towers over nearby buildings so the upper floor rooms have great views.

Cons:

There were a couple of minor incoveniences in the room, the bathroom didn't appear to have a fan, for example. However, nothing that would prevent me from recommending the hotel.

Convenient for Lehigh, but the rooms and public areas could definitely use a facelift.
Pros:

Pretty convenient for visiting Lehigh U and also right on the Main Street of Bethlehem, which wins best Main St in the US two years running. The photos of famous people staying there on the bar walls is also nice.

Cons:

The rooms and public areas of the hotel are tired - surprisingly so.

We had a nice time visiting family who stayed in the same hotel. I would however have great deal trouble recommending it
Pros:

Lovely venue. Pleasant. Service was good.

Cons:

Labeled handicapped accessible and yet….
I walk with a walker. I had to deal with stepping over a 2 ft tub wall to get into the tub There was no walk-in shower. The bathroom door was very heavy and wide. Difficult to manage. I ended up not always being able to shut the bathroom door when using the bathroom.
Valet parking was not truly valet. We pulled up. A valet helped me out of the car but did not retrieve my walker. No one helped my husband get a trolly or load it with our luggage or make any attempt to assist us in getting our luggage to the 9th floor. The only true handicapped adjective to our room was its close proximity to the elevator.

Unique place to stay when passing through
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, very historic and nostalgic. The player-piano in the lobby adds charm. It’s in a perfect location on Main Street, making it easy to go for a walk and browse in the numerous cute shops. The restaurant is lovely and we enjoyed a nice dinner. The rooms are small (expected in a historic hotel)and beautifully decorated.

Cons:

The staff at the reception desk we not welcoming. I stood waiting for several minutes while one attendant chatted with someone and the other just stood there. They didn’t acknowledge me at all while I was waiting, and then were a bit surly when trying to find my reservations.
