Considering arriving the evening before?

Some of you may be looking to arrive in the area the evening before. If so, a recommended hotel for that night (Thursday, September 26) would be Hotel Bethlehem (https://www.hotelbethlehem.com). Lehigh has a discounted rate, which is available for those associated with Lehigh events. When calling, please ask for the "Lehigh Friends and Family Rate." There is limited space due to a community event that coming weekend, so if you are interested, I suggest making a reservation soon.
