Thank you Sam! What a wonderful and memorable stay in General Trexler's Quarters! We never wanted…read moreto leave the room. 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 :)

The place is very conveniently located across from Starbucks and several eateries providing a plethora of options for all dietary needs. The hotel is a bit confusing to get to from the parking deck. Signs are unclear and it's even more confusing going back to the parking garage. The other annoyance was my key would randomly stop working so I had to get it replaced twice. But the service team was quick and gave me new keycards right away.

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.

Basically an Arnold Palmer on steroids. Husband didn't like it because it was too lemony for him. I drank it and got a decent buzz. lol. We did order chili, New England Clam Chowder and 2 orders of the fried chicken potstickers with a sweet chili tai sauce. The bartender never asked how are food was. The potstickers were cold. I don't know if we messed with them because of ordering all appetizer. But we were never asked if we wanted our food in a certain order either. The chili was good. The clam chowder was very good. 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. Don't know if I'll be back. Overall, service was extremely slow.

Our daughter wanted to have a "teen nightclub" themed dance party for her 14th birthday! At that age it's really challenging to find a venue for a great party that is safe and supervised, but also, crazy fun! Rachael helped us put together a party that was the "talk of the school" event! Everyone was buzzing about this party! Rachael, with the help of some other fantastic companies, like LEO party rentals, and BELLY caterers put together a very reasonably priced and very trendy dance party for Emma and her friends. It was so easy to plan, and even easier to sit back and enjoy the kids having a fantastic time! We couldn't have planned this terrific event without her! Rachael helped us coordinate with everyone. She sat down with me to brainstorm many times before the party, and took care of everything. The tiniest of details were covered! All of the event was kept within a very reasonable budget! We would also like to send a thank you out to the Goggleworks for their terrific, and very trendy "loft" like room, for the party location. The dj " DJ JG" John Gosselin was also a fantastic addition to the party! He knew exactly what music the kids wanted to hear. Everyone danced the entire night! Thank you Rachael for making this night so memorable for Emma, and us too! If your thinking of planning a party for your teenage daughter you should contact Rachael! She will really impress you!
