Highly recommend

So, this is really more of a "bed and breakfast" than a hotel. It's clean, it's nice, it's in a really great neighborhood, and Wes (the host) is a super dude, we actually played yhatzee together one night. Highly recommend.

Great value, friendly atmosphere in downtown

If you're looking for basic accommodations in a location central to downtown and the bar scene in Allentown, for great value, try the Buffalo Guesthouse. Wesley, the owner, greeted me and showed me my room and the shared showers and hot tub. The Sunday breakfast was exactly what I wanted. I stayed in a single, which was adequate, but Wesley showed me the larger rooms as I was leaving, and I will take one of those on my next trip home.

Nice B&B

Very interesting building. Nice job of renovating. The owner greeted us and gave us a tour of the house and a brief history. Very nice accommodations. Breakfast was adequate, but not a highlight of the stay.

The worst guesthouse I've ever stayed in

A terrible experience overall, probably the worst guesthouse I've ever stayed in. What went wrong? No one at check in. Waited. Then someone showed up. Then sheer chaos. Room not ready. At nearly 6pm? Then I was downgraded into a room that was also dirty. It's always gross to find other people's hair everywhere. The handles of the narrow staircase were loose and a total hazard. No one there in the morning. I tried to call many times to get a voicemail to no reply. I messaged through Hotels.com and no reply. A terrible operation. Aside from the good AC, the place just sucked.

Great stay

I'm glad I went here. I arrived at the bus station and took the 8 bus and walked. The employees were friendly. It opened three months ago. It's like 23000 sq ft and a lot of stairs since I was on the 3rd floor. It came w breakfast. My mattress was comfy and they gave me a robe. I would go back, but with less luggage since the stairs are hard w luggage. It was $3 to use washer and dryer.

The owner met us at the desk and was 100% cordial. We talked about life gor a bit. His manager gave us the tour and made us feel comfortable. I'd much rather stay at an 1800s home that has been refurbished than any chain hotel/motel any time. We will stay here again. It's a fun vintage, Victorian style house that's near great food and much more.
