Quiet, modern, clean, and comfortable

Everything in our room was excellent and most things seemed very new. Excellent amenities, spacios room, and a comfortable bed. Nice pool to cool off. We especially appreciated the understanding from management when we lost our room key. The settlement was reasonable and doubtless below their cost. Great staff at reception upon arrival and thereafter when we had occaision to drop in. Laundry facilities also very handy and easy to use. One of our best stops on this trip.

Clean and tidy, comfortable beds, pretty dated, especially the bathroom, toilet was very low. Pool was very cloudy, so wasn’t keen to use, which was disappointing.

We only stayed for one night so the location and convenience of the property is what attracted us. The staff were super polite and friendly which contributed positively to the enjoyment of our stay. We would certainly choose this motel if we needed to stay overnight again. Jim and Kaye

We enjoyed our one night stay at the Bethlehem Motor Lodge, it was clean, quiet and safe. It was a nice alternative rather than staying is a more busy area. There’s a shopping mall just 4-4 minutes down the road by car that offers a grocery store, dining options and other stores. We would stay there again.
