“Go somewhere else!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel advertises that they are refurburished,but not completely. WE rented a room in October 2011 and the second bed was without a box spring! The smell horrible and the bath room questionable. We rented in a snow storm, so as soon as it cleared we went back home with no electric rather than stay here. Eventually ended up across town!

So sorry to report my own hometown has skanky hotels, and don't even think about the pool or hot tub! If you do bring anti bacterial everything.
M.S.

“Not worth the price tired hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We used the walk in rate of $49 and it resulted in $69 check in. Wall socket short circuited had to jiggle it to get it on. Warn out rugs.. Good point indoor swimming pool.. Perkins Restaurant next door. Good food. Front desk lady serviced us but not enthusiastically. It was just a job for her..

“nice hot tub!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

I stayed at this hotel for one night. It's located very close to the Dorney Park, so might be a good place to stay after spending the whole day at the Park. The room was quite spacious with a comfortable bed and a hot tub in the bathroom. Staff friendly and helpful, I didn't experience any problems. I would recommend it!

“Very basic accommodations- just ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We were traveling thru the area and need a place. I used points so the night was free. Very basic accommodations, wife was not really happy with the place (carpets, room atmosphere). Bed was pretty bad and the room small but 3/5 due to price point and expectations. The pool looked nice we did not use any of the facilities or eat breakfast which was free and the area was crowded. The hotel appeared to be near capacity. Do not expect much and you will not be disappointed. I imagine most people book this hotel for price as there are many other hotels in the immediate area.

Room Tip: Next to a Perkins but we had a fine dinner at Pistachios

“Stay away!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

On a recent stay at this location was thoroughly disappointed. I booked this room late in the evening ( with hotels.com), upon my arrival I did not receive the type of room reserved, and after check out was fraudulently charged a smoking fee of $150.00. I have made several attempt to contact the management with no response. I have also filed with Howard Johnson's Corporate and to date have had resolution with them either. I have finally turned it over to my banks fraud division to see if this can be resolved.
