Holiday Inn Express & Suites Allentown-Dorney Park Area By Ihg

“Clean & location right off a highway.”

The location was perfect for where we were going. We stayed two nights. The hotel is older & needs some updates. The staff were all friendly & welcoming. We stayed on the third floor.

The location was perfect for where we were going. We stayed two nights. The hotel is older & needs some updates. The staff were all friendly & welcoming. We stayed on the third floor. It was quiet but we did hear the people in the next room a few times. The room was clean but the sheets on one queen bed had large holes in it. They refreshed the room the next day. The complimentary breakfast was very nice with a large selection of food items. Coffee bar was open all day. What was nice was a small selection of microwave meals & snacks in the lobby. Large parking lot.

In town for Muhlenberg. Across the street from Dorney Park. Right off I78. 5 minutes from Muhlenberg College. Clean and comfortable room. Good breakfast and coffee. Staff got back to me via online texting feature during snowstorm Feb 2025 to help us navigate our way in.

“Decidedly average and disappointing”

We needed to stay in the area for one night and chose this hotel on a recent Saturday.

We needed to stay in the area for one night and chose this hotel on a recent Saturday. We were greeted pleasantly enough at the front desk though all of the staff we encountered throughout our stay were decidedly low-energy. (By the way, we observed the cookies on display behind the counter. Were we supposed to have been offered one? We were not). Usually, we receive a welcome gift at a Holiday Inn Express, presumably due to our loyalty account, but we did not at this property. The room was basic and generic. We had booked a room with a king bed but were given a room with two doubles. As we were tired, we didn't go back down to change rooms and kept the room as assigned. The room was basic but had what we needed. We noted that the mini refrigerator leaked water on the tile floor consistently. Additionally, the window covering was ripped. Otherwise, the room was fine. Breakfast the next morning was disappointing. On offer was a pancake machine, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, turkey sausage patties, pork links, cereals, breakfast breads, cinnamon rolls, yogurts and rubbery hardboiled eggs. We had a bit of breakfast and went back upstairs to shower and dress. We stopped back into the breakfast room a bit later (still in the throes of the breakfast hours) only to find the breakfast meat pans completely empty. Additionally, where there had once been containers for peanut butter and cream cheese was now empty space - rather than refilling, the attendant apparently simply removed the containers. Thus, we were denied any topping for our breads. There are many other hotels in the area, including other Holiday Inn Expresses. I think we would choose another property in the area before returning to this one.
