[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My recommendation is stay in a big chain hotel (Holiday Inn Express or whatever) outside of town. You never know what you're getting in small hotels in the middle of nowhere. Had some bad experiences lasts summer.[/quote]

Or she could stay in the Hyatt Place in a charming downtown. Trust me when I say that’s a much nicer experience than the holiday inn express our by the airport. The fringes of Bethlehem are really crappy, especially to the south, but the old historical part is a draw and quite lovely by any standard.

Some of us know the area well. [/quote]

I'm from the area and agree that the historic downtown area is the best place to stay. The Moravian sites are worth exploring if you have some extra time,  and there are shops and restaurants nearby. The Edge is good, and the Sun Inn Tavern has historic charm. The Moravian Book Shop is also great independent book store.

The area around campus has its share of blight and should not color your view of Bethlehem as a whole. It has a rich history that dates back to colonial times. It was deeply affected by the highs and lows of the industrial revolution and the demise of what was once one of the largest steel companies in the US.[/quote]
