A great array of books in the room and downstairs in the parlor, Shel Silverstein, George Orwell... The Historic Benner Mansion built in 1914 has been restored in all its proverbial glory. Comfortable warm and cozy. We stayed overnight on a rainy cold February night and the home was perfectly temperature-controlled, we were even able to go downstairs to the dining area for a midnight snack in our socks, that's how warm the beautiful original wood floors are throughout the two floors we inhabited. We stayed on the second floor in General Trexler's Quarters, a beautiful large, well-lit (windows all around with lamps and a candle) corner room with a separate dressing room and it's own large private bathroom with bathtub/shower. The four poster bed was comfort-beyond, the two teal upholstered seats in front of the television are comfy and great for reading, sipping tea &/or watching black & white Westerns on the tv. The roll-top desk in the bedroom was owned by General Trexler himself! We brought tea up to the room and read books and napped before heading out to a gig in Bethlehem. Breakfast is included, eggs & bacon, in the morning. Plus English muffins and jams, coffees and teas from a Keurig and hot and cold cereals are avail 24/7 in the dining room for your snacking pleasure. We will be back!

I booked the Benner Mansion for a bridal shower this past March. Sam was warm and welcoming,…read morepatiently answering numerous questions I would text her. This being the first shower I had planned myself it was a great comfort to have Sam be there every step of the way; she was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process. We were able to meet beforehand to plan the floor layout as well as the itinerary. With Sam's permission we were able to drop off decorations earlier in the week and arrived early Saturday morning to decorate. On the day of the shower the mansion looked absolutely spectacular; candles lit and flowers in all the right places. We made use of the piano on the first floor and had a pianist play during the shower. Guests continually asked us how we found just a gem! The Benner Mansion was lovingly restored by the Bennett family and is a beautiful building full of history and architecture; Sam knows every inch of the place and the story behind it. We jumped on the opportunity to book the entire mansion, and 5 of us were able spend the night after the shower. What a treat! I booked a dinner reservation for us at Union and Finch, which was within 2 blocks walking distance. When we returned from dinner we found the mansion was toasty warm despite the cold temperatures outside and we enjoyed libations late into the night. When we retired to our respective bedrooms, we found they were wonderfully turned down and the beds were waiting for us to climb right in. The next morning we had eggs and bacon for breakfast, along with coffee, and toasted English muffins. We all slept comfortably through the night and remarked how insulating the mansion was despite being in a city landscape. I had a wonderful experience working with Sam that will go beyond a business relationship. We are now family :)

I spent two nights at the Allentown Renaissance hotel in early August. I really enjoyed my stay…read more I arrived around 2:00 on a Sunday afternoon and was warmly greeted and checked in. I had a king sized bedroom. Room was clean, bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Smart fridge kept my drinks cool enough. They do have an energy saver (where you need to put the key in for lights and hvac). I don't feel the air got as cold as I would have liked it. I did have food there one night as part of my work conference, and it was absolutely fantastic. The beef tenderloin was perfectly cooked. I used the gym the two mornings I was there and it got the job done (two elipticals, 4 treadmills, and weights). There is a restaurant there and a few options nearby. I wouldn't stray too far from the hotel, and if you have a lot of belongings, I'd valet because the self parking lot is a bit of a hike through the tunnel and whatnot, but truly a great stay if you're in Allentown.

Came here for a minor league game and I feel like I got the full arena experience…read more Pro: Very, very, very good food choices for an arena. Maybe unparalleled. Con: A lot of higher end clubs and restaurants like the Morning Call Club. It has a white-collar vibe here, more than I'd like for a minor league city. Con: The arena felt very adult oriented although events bring plenty of kids. It felt like every stand has beer. Kids made the lines extra long at the couple of places that actually have their foods. Pro: As the game got going, the cameras and cheers started focusing on the kids to make up for that. A bit. Pro: There are water fountains and restrooms at every corner of the arena. Con: The fountains didn't work by section 101. Pro: others did. Con: They knew about this last weekend and it hasn't been fixed yet. Anyway, if I was waffling on the 4th star, having a live band sealed the seal. Ladies and gentlemen, The Wonton Soups.

They definitely used whole little necks. My only complaint is that it wasn't "chowdery". It was more of a brothy soup. We came in on a rainy day and there really wasn't anyone in the restaurant.
