Location was great, calm and quiet. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are in decent shape—clean and maintained—but they show their age. This can be seen by some as somewhat charming :)

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 staff was kind attentive and willing to accommodate you! Very few amenities around the hotel, however there is a small strip of four restaurants that are pretty cool
