Found a "hospitality fee + tax" on our bill...3 employees including the manager stumbled to explain what is was for and very quickly credited my account...even with probing as to what the charge was for all they could say was that "it was a mistake"...if you stay here WATCH OUT and double check your bill!!!!

This hotel is clean, quiet and the staff are friendly and the rates are very reasonable. The room was quite spacious but nothing fancy. We would have preferred queen-sized beds but the five of us fit fine in the room. My kids had a great time in the indoor pool but it was in an oppressively hot building. A nice continental breakfast, including homemade waffles, was included and coffee/tea were free in the lobby 24 hours. The hotel is conveniently located close to the interstate and near a big grocery store, gas stations and several restaurants and fast food outlets. It was a fine place to stay on our way through Pennsylvania.

We stayed here one night after a ski trip to Elk. This is an older hotel, and although they have made some efforts to update, it still seems old and dated. Our room was large, with 2 double beds, a ‘fridge and microwave. The bathroom was older, had some mildew stains (particularly under the faucet in the tub), and a noisy air duct. There is a nice large heated (and warm) indoor pool, but no spa. The workout room is tiny, with one working treadmill and one broken recumbent bike. Breakfast in the “hospitality room” consisted of toast, packaged tasty cake pastries, cereals, and a waffle maker. There was no yogurt, eggs or cheese, and the area was indeed overseen by the woman aptly described by Snobag. We found dining choices limited in Clarks Summit, and we ate at the Friendly’s across the street. Overall, an OK experience for $90/night, but I prefer the newer Holiday Express New Milford for ski trips to Elk.

My wife and I stayed here on 23 December 2009; our rate with tax was $109.00 for a king bed.

While we have stayed in several motels and hotels in the greater Scranton area, this one has traditionally been the one to which we return. We have stayed here at least four times.

We have stayed here in winter and summer. It appears to be family friendly--there's an indoor pool--but I have seen adult travelers too.

There is free and fast wi-fi.

The attached restaurant keeps very infrequent hours: it seems to be run for meeting and events for the most part. There is a Damon's Steak House next door, which gets a lot of local business. If you drive north on Northern, as you approach Clarks Summit proper, there are a variety of restaurants to choose from--and not all chains.

As some reviews have noted, the breakfast room _is_ on the second floor of the hotel, at the end of the corridor in what appears to be a regular room. It is a little unusual, but it is a large space, well maintained. The choices are fairly fresh and pretty broad (cereal, eggs, waffles, etc.). I don't know what it would be like to have a room near that area.

This last trip was like all the others, facility-wise, perfectly fine. But, for the first time, the staff seemed a little inhospitable, really. And it seemed a little like the they were all a little over-Fox-Newsed or something.

At check-out the front desk woman responded rather tersely with a "Merry Christmas" to our "Happy Holidays." (I'm sorry, not everyone I know is Christian, and I can't tell just by looking at you; I try to be polite.) And let me tell you, her previously pleasant demeanor changed. That was nice.

There was another unpleasant moment while we were in the breakfast room, alone as a couple, reading and eating--not even talking, really, to one another, and not watching the large TV showing the cable news. The breakfast attendant, a woman in her forties or a little older, started talking (really, really loudly) about what was on the television--CNN's coverage of the big health care bill--and how it was bad for America. Again, it isn't that I haven't been in that room before, and we have had nominally pleasant conversations with the staff, too. But it was just weird, borderline rude, and really forced on us.

As we stayed only one night, and only dealt with the staff three times (check-in, breakfast, check-out), I can't say the service was pleasant or hospitable. It was competent, though. And this is the first time the staff was this odd.
