    Hotel Bethlehem - Lobby upstairs view

    Hotel Bethlehem

    A big, beautiful Historic Hotel in downtown Bethlehem. What else do you need to know? If you go to…read moresee the lobby Christmas decorations, expect a crowd. Worth it though.

    First the good - the lobby is beautiful and service on part of the staff is impeccable. The…read moreneighborhood is great, lots of restaurants and historic buildings in walking distance. That was all very enjoyable. We have some specific needs so our not-so-great experience might have been fine in different circumstances. When traveling we need either two adjoining rooms or a suite with a door on the bedroom because one of us has extreme sensitivity to the sound of snoring (and of course the other of us snores). For that reason we chose the Hotel Bethlehem's Suites at 462, across the street from the main hotel. We got the smallest suite, which ran over $500 a night with fees and taxes. I mention the price because it was by far the most expensive hotel of our trip to Pennsylvania which naturally raises expectations, so my review is a little more critical than it might ordinarily be. First, the walls were paper thin. Not just in the suite but between suites. We could hear someone in the adjacent suite snoring loudly. The hotel provided a cot to use in the living room and the cot was truly horrible - all metal bars and lumpy springs. Neither of us got any sleep and we ended up getting an additional room at the Hyatt up the street so we could each sleep in a bed. At the prices they charge, surely a modern and comfortable mattress on the cot shouldn't be beyond the hotel's budget? As for my fussiness based on the room price - there were no amenities like shampoo, conditioner, or body wash. Only a small mirror over the bathroom sink, so dressing for something formal is guesswork. A really crappy coffee maker that only worked with weird packets of unpalatable coffee. Small things that were shabby or didn't work, like lights that flickered, office style drop ceiling panels that slammed loudly when opening the bedroom door. I was unimpressed and very unhappy that we needed to get a second hotel room just to get some sleep. They never asked how our stay was or I would have told them these things in person. I'm not inclined to stay here again, nor would I recommend the place, no matter how grand or historic the lobby is.

    Please bear with me. I'm not a holy roller in your face religious zealot. But what I witnessed this…read moreweekend happened by the grace of God. The staff at Hershey medical system were blessed with the skills to save my mom. My mother had a major stroke on Saturday. She had a complete blockage in the area controlling speech and movement on her right side. She arrived at Hershey able to understand but unable to communicate. She couldn't lift her arms. She literally was scared to death. Likewise, my dad, who witnessed everything, was panicking. When we got the call, we threw some stuff in a suitcase and drove all night covering over 800 miles to get there as soon as we could. When we arrived, we went directly to the hospital. Of course I had updates from my family, but I still wasn't sure what I would see when I walked into her room in the NICU. The moment I stepped over that threshold, I knew I still had my mom. Not mom with a new normal, but MY mom. How did I know? She was complaining about something. Yep, that's my mom, bless her heart. (And I mean that in a true southern way!) I've already established my belief in divine intervention, but it was the excellent staff at Hershey that actually performed the miracle. The moment mom crossed the ER threshold, she was hit by a whirlwind of activity. Time is critical for a stroke patient. Within the first 1/2 hour, they confirmed the stroke and had a specialist paged. Less than two hours from getting wheeled in into the ER by the EMTs, she was in recovery from surgery. The surgery was delicate (as are all brain surgeries, of course). This particular surgery takes advanced skills - her neurologist said that even they revere these surgeons. The doctor said that they got the entire clot but didn't know her prognosis. He did say that recovery was going to be slow. The wonderful care didn't stop in the ER and OR. The nurses and support staff were second to none. Not only was mom well cared for, we were also recipients of the helpfulness and kindness of the staff. We were kept abreast of every test and procedure. They made sure that the doctor came by while we were there - keeping us tightly in the loop. We had pertinent phone numbers so we could always speak with her nurse. They helped us set up her portal (clear cookies before enrolling). Mom was a nurse so she has exceptionally high standards for nursing care. Even she was impressed. There were a couple of hiccups. The food was awful. I wouldn't have eaten it either. They did not do a very good job at helping her with hygiene. She said she had a bed bath but whatever they did, sure didn't do what was intended. In 5 days, she had only received 1 bath. Please be aware that the medical center is HUGE and you will most likely have quite a trek to the room. Seriously, after the first day, I traded my cute sandals for my tennis shoes. There are a couple of places inside to eat but we didn't try them. A very busy Starbucks is in the lobby. Us fellow Penn Staters feel especially at home with the replica of our beloved Nittany Lion sculpture in the rotunda. A life size replica of our mascot sits on an outside bench just begging for a photo shoot. If I ever need urgent medical care while in town visiting, there will be absolutely no question on where I'll go. Hershey Medical Center. It's undoubtedly one of the best. And, to the staff - thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my mom. Bless you all.

It is well maintained, cleaned, and up kept. The ER is a little slow if you come in on a Saturday, but the staff (on all aspects/positions) are outgoing, knowledgeable, and wanting to educate you on what they are doing/have done and the options that you have. With that said, the care is exceptional. The nurse staff is beyond amazing! The care was contributions, present, and working to provided the best care available!! Going to the hospital is NEVER easy and not something anyone looks forward to, but I assure you that you are in good hands here!!
