1. Minutes from the Best Attractions

When you're traveling with kids, nobody wants to spend an hour in the car. This hotel is located right off I-78, putting you "center stage" for the area's best spots:

  • Crayola Experience: A short drive to Easton for hands-on colorful fun that kids (and parents) love.
  • Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom: Just down the road for world-class roller coasters and water slides.
  • SteelStacks: Visit the historic Bethlehem site for outdoor movies, concerts, and festivals.

2. Suites Designed for Groups

Small hotel rooms lead to big headaches. This Courtyard features spacious layouts that allow your family to actually unpack and breathe.

The King Suites feature a pull-out sofa bed and a separate sitting area. This means you can put the kids to bed and still have a place to sit and talk or watch TV without whispering in the dark.
