The Bethel Resort & Suites

I like old wooden hotels with some of the eleance and ambience of the past and the Bethel Inn fits this model. Thr rustication kind. It's even ok if the elegance is a little faded but there not much elegance left as they focus on the golf and ski crowd who are not interested in elegance but probably where their money is,. The food in the bar, pub food, was good but not dining. My room in the old part had a good bed and modern bath, but no chair nor desk. For that I maked them down but not too low as i did not call down and demand they sent one up! It did make the room much less comfortable. The staff were very pleasant even though hasseled with a wedding and lots of golfers the weekend I stayed.

Bar and restaurant on site Little outdated

Beautiful place but definitely needs updating.

The Bethel Inn is an historic landmark in the Sweet Little town of Bethel… it was a basic room with no refrigerator and the continental breakfast was not very good… Thankfully, there was a wonderful coffee shop/bakery in town called Gemini Café… The food was not very good. We went downstairs for happy hour… Limited beer, selection on tap, and the food was not great… Swimming in the swimming pool with that view however was amazing and anyone who wants to play golf I’m sure would have a good time! Good to say I’ve been there… But not sure I would go back.

Great location in Bethel. This property has so much potential. . . I hope the current owners make the investment. The original Inn building is a lovely old building that needs some upgrades. The pool is wonderful and in good shape, but the decking around it needs work. The golf course looked in good shape, we didn't play this time.

We like the Bethel Inn for its proximity to things we like to do and that it has an onsite restaurant and golf course. However, since new ownership there is a noticeable decline in maintenance to the buildings and outdoor areas with deferred maintenance of wood rot, paint and the golf course looking a bit ragged. During our stay we heard many people discuss issues like a tub that had inches of water in it from a leak, a hot water heater in a condo that wasn’t performing well. We also heard from local sources that the plan was to replace part of the golf course with luxury condos. It’s unfortunate that this would happen. Generally, it felt like the place was being ignored. Front desk staff did not give us good direction to our room (told us 2nd floor when it was first). The ice machine was inoperable and the bedding in our room had stains on it. The Millbrook Tavern, however, was excellent and the food and drinks were very good. We will be back to the Tavern but not sure if the Inn will be on our stay list again.

Some things to note: They did not serve breakfast when we were there on a Friday and were not told that ahead of time that it wouldn’t be an option. We attempted to order poolside one day, and that wasn’t an option either. Housekeeping did not come while we were there. All in all, we did have fun - just communications weren’t great from front desk or website.

I didn’t like that sometimes they would have breakfast and then other days they would not, and when they did sometimes all they had was muffins no meats no eggs

Decent plan to stay

Very good

Great old world feel. Views on the course were excellent, the pool, the lake. Lots of fun

Would gladly stay here again! Very clean, luxurious, and comfy stay. We loved enjoying the tavern and spa center.

I liked the location and the staff were super friendly and helpful It was a little rundown, and the pool was not working

Suggestion don't upgrade me to suite where the bedroom isn't air conditioned

The room was clean. The staff was helpful.

Older place, looks like they are in the process of renovating. Neat history but nothing extraordinary at the moment. Room, was very large.

Staff was rude, was forced to put a card on file because they said hotel engine went thru Expedia and they don’t provide a card for incidentals. Old, not updated, and odd smell. Didn’t have fridges in most rooms and have to use community microwaves in the halls. Parking was brutal sharing with a golf course.

Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Property was nice but a bit tired……could use some upkeep. Gym was dirty and outdoor pool wasn’t really heated. For the price, I would have expected better.

Superb

The road to the condos is extremely treacherous. The staff at the restaurant was lovely but the food came out cold and most not edible. The staff was all so nice. It’s an old hotel and needs some tlc.
