What Guests Are Saying
“My husband and I chose The Mansion on Delaware as our venue for our wedding on August 24, 2024. We booked the entire hotel for the weekend and Colleen and her team were absolute rockstars! The both of us along with our families were incredibly thankful to have had the pleasure of working with Colleen, Cade, and the other team members for one of the biggest days of our lives. The amount of guests that personally came to us to compliment the staff, the hospitality, the atmosphere, and the quality and abundance of food served was endless! If we had to do it all over again, we would without a doubt choose The Mansion on Delaware 1,000X over. I highly recommend The Mansion on Delaware to any friend, family member, or engaged couple. Thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect!” — Maggie, 5 stars
“Loved the vibe here! We stayed for one night with my husband and four other couples. The bar area was lovely and the welcome drink such a nice touch! Check in was easy, although I will say getting our luggage up the stairs was kind of a bummer. Maybe a ramp? Our room was cozy, with welcoming cookies! I loved the shower and the bed was very comfortable. I travel a lot though and I will never understand why supply just two bath towels. I thought the breakfast was delicious and that whole side room area with the couches is very quaint!! Can’t wait to come back!” — Elaine M., 5 stars

What guests are saying about The Mansion on Delaware Avenue.
"What a great experience! The entire team at The Mansion was courteous, helpful, professional, and kind. I've stayed in many hotels across North America and this unique and lovely property has become a new favourite. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable and came with a personalized note and gift of sugar cookies upon arrival. We enjoyed spending time in the nicely appointed lounge over glasses of wine and appreciated the complimentary happy hour cocktail (what a nice touch). In the mornings, we loved the savoury or sweet breakfast options--really top notch, excellent in presentation and quality. Bonus: the location provides walkable access to the Allentown area which is vibrant and full of quality restaurants. Highly recommend this boutique hotel."

The bathroom needs a little caulking otherwise great jacuzzi/ shower option and breakfast options need to be shared prior or when asked so that those they may have food preference or allergies can make alternative choices or arrangements. Otherwise great stay, great location, great hotel."

All of this in a former mansion. We were a little confused about whether housekeeping would come or not (they didn't) but we got a fresh set of towels at the front desk. Bartender was very friendly as well"
