The Sayre Mansion Inn

We were so glad we got to experience this charming, upscale bed and breakfast in the heart of Bethlehem, PA. Emily was the heart of the house, meeting every need with such enthusiasm and charm. The service and food were impeccable, but the hospitality was the real jewel. The historic character mixed with a touch of Ritz made for a special stay, and there seems to be an option to fit different budgets. It’s full of grace and style, and surpassed other hotel or Airbnb stays we’ve found around here. We’ll be back as soon as we can. Thank you, EMILY, for being so wonderful to my children and me. You’re the gem of the Sayre Mansion! - The Soto's

The breakfast was included, with a choice of omelette or French toast, and both were delicious. There were also snacks, fruit, and pastries to take, while the parlor had coffee, water, snacks, and other things available around the clock. It’s a beautiful old building with loads of history, and the staff knew a lot about it. The mansion is only a short walk from main Street across the bridge, as long as you cross on the correct side. We stayed on the third floor of this 150-something-year-old mansion. It was much bigger than I expected, with rooms tucked all over. Ours was small and cozy, with antique furniture and a nicely updated bathroom. It was freezing outside, but the heat worked great.

We rented the Conservatory in this beautiful town, and waking up there was lovely, with the sun filling the room. It felt like walking into a fairy tale, honestly. The room was huge, with plenty of sitting space, a mini fridge, robes for both of us, and a comfortable bed. The jacuzzi tub had strong jets, and the view from the Conservatory was so nice. I only wish it hadn’t been so cloudy, so we could’ve seen the stars from bed.

For around $450 on a Saturday night, I didn’t feel this stay was worth the price, and I won’t be back. After a long travel day, I found a spider on the shower floor. No big deal, I took it out, but the shower itself was extremely small and awkward to use if you’re bigger or wider. The room was clean, though. It was hot, and I couldn’t get the air to a higher setting. The house and rooms are very quiet, which could be nice if you want peace, but the rooms are fairly close together. We got up at 8 for breakfast, but there weren’t many choices: two eggs any style with sausage or bacon, or a crepe. My wife ordered a cheddar omelette, but it came without cheddar. For that price, I expected more. This felt like a hotel continental breakfast, while I’d expect a bed and breakfast to have more options.
