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.

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
