The Americus Allentown is a beautiful and historic hotel. Parking is avaliable on the property but also easily found in several garages just a block away. We loved that the hotel kept a lot of historical features that my children found fascinating. Even though the hotel is in the city of Allentown, the rooms were quiet and there wasn't any street noise. All of the staff was friendly. I asked for dining options around the area and followed the staff's advice for a great family dining experience just a very short walk from the property. At check-in and check-out, the front desk staff was so friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be returning with our family.

I stayed at this Wonderful property in March for the 1st time. I attended a 3 day church conference. I really enjoyed my stay there at that time. The staff was very accommodating professional & friendly. So I decided to book another stay there again for our 3 day church convention. This Hotel is well managed, I love the room size, it was cleaned & stocked well. I love the nostalgic interior, the bedroom furniture is perfect. The hotel location is ideal , it's right in the heart of downtown Allentown.

This is a gorgeous hotel. My room was larger than expected with great closet space - excellent for a business trip. The bed was super comfy. Some noise from the street but earplugs took care of it. The staff at reception were so helpful and made great recommendations - they take pride in their hotel and city. I would definitely come back.

The hotel was lovely, and the rooms were comfortable. Outside the hotel, for several hours a night, cars drove by with modified mufflers, revving their engines and playing loud, reverberating music. It was so disruptive to any sense of peace and quiet, especially between the hours of 10 PM and 2 AM. Really nice place, but will not return due to the street activity and noise.

A striking historic hotel set amid the otherwise blighted surroundings of downtown Allentown. The building itself has real character, and there is a good restaurant conveniently located across the street. Unfortunately, my fourth-floor room was shockingly loud. Throughout the night, the noise from modified cars and motorcycles racing up and down the street was constant, compounded by several late-night altercations involving drunks and homeless individuals outside. The lack of sound insulation and nonstop street noise made it extremely difficult to sleep and, quite frankly, ruined the stay for me.
