The Bethel Resort & Suites

I’ve been coming to the Bethel Inn for over 30 years and have always loved the resort and what it brings to the community. My wife and I had our weekly dinner on 11/17, and it was our final straw. I was forced to let it be known what've encountered, as I am sure others have as well. We were greatly disappointed with the new management team. We have seen them our last few visits, and had seen them in past years, but had not seen them in the last year as I assume they were fired. Recently we noticed they had been rehired. While the new female chef has greatly improved the food, the overall hospitality has declined sharply in the past month.

It was a relief to find Bethel Resort and Suites as it was late at night and we had not seen places to stay for a while. We were thankful they had someone at the desk after normal business hours.
