Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We absolutely loved almost everything about our stay! We loved the historic, boutique feel of the hotel, the beautiful registration area, the fitness center, the tavern, the room, the hallways even with the old pictures, the beautiful setting, the cute little town, and nearby playground and skatepark. My only negative feedback is that the pool was absolutely freezing. We actually specifically chose this hotel as a last minute get-away because it said it had an outdoor heated pool but I couldn't even get in because it was so cold. My kids went in for a bit and had fun but didn't stay long because of the temperature. I'm honestly not sure I would come back because of it, which is a bummer because I loved everything else about our stay. I feel like I'd have to call ahead to see if any changes were made and what the temperature of the pool would be before booking. Other than that piece, would highly recommend if not interested in the pool piece.

Beautiful, Old, Charming Inn

The Bethel Inn is a beautiful, old, charming inn. I would have liked to stay in the main building, but only the townhouses were available, which were very nice, new and large, much more than what I had expected. Very well worth the money.

A nice convenient place to stay. Very accommodating. Dining was short staffed but they still served regardless and maintained composure. It is a fairly busy place, golf course, many rooms, a pool, tavern. If looking for a more quiet peaceful stay consider something more remote.

Place was nice but a little outdated. The suites were much smaller than what the pictures would lead you to believe and therefore a bit overpriced. Also, they didn’t post that their pool was shut down on their website.

The Bethel has character and old world charm. The rooms can be dated and the amenities are limited. The breakfast buffet on Sunday was plentiful and good as breakfast buffets go. Expensive at $ 20 per person but we understand the challenges. Monday breakfast was limited and also $ 20 pp but we were glad for the convenience of getting a breakfast sandwich in the Inn before heading to the mountain. Our room had a fireplace which was lovely. The staff was terrific. We always return for the value and because it feels like home.

Out $415 and no place to stay

We arrived slightly after 11pm to find the front door locked and our room keys taped to the door. The sign said to type in your code to access the door. Well we never received a code. I called the phone number on the door which stated call for service or emergency . Tried 4 times to no answer. We were out $415 and no where to stay. Thank you Bethel inn

I booked a room with 2 queens but offered 2 full size instead. They left me with no choice because it was a late check in. There is a hidden charge of $30 and I asked them what that was and they told me it was a tax for ME. I told them I have paid the room charge and tax when booking with Expedia. They told me I need to pay for that and contact Expedia. Other than that. This hotel is very old with no elevator. I would recommend to stay away from it.
