**Decent Budget Stay with Pet Perks, But Needs More Attention to Cleanliness**
The Extended Stay America in Bethlehem served its purpose as a budget-petfedly option.
Its location was a definite plus, offering easy access to the vibrant SteelStacks area and the charming downtown. The designated pet relief areas both in the front and back of the property, along with ample parking, made traveling with our furry friend much more convenient. We also appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the availability of morning coffee. The spacious rooms and the inclusion of a full-size refrigerator and kitchen were significant advantages.
However, our room fell short in terms of cleanliness. Upon arrival, we noticed a lack of attention to detail. We even found a sock under the bed and crumbs scattered around the kitchen floor. This prompted us to thoroughly clean the vinyl flooring ourselves, which was particularly important given our dog. In fact, we've decided that cleaning will be our routine on all future trips to ensure a clean environment for our pet. We did inform the staff about the cleanliness issues, and they were willing to offer us another room, which we appreciated.
