“Get a cleaning product sales rep there”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2008

Driving thru Poconos and got foggy in a hurry. Saw that this was right off the highway and nothing else nearby so booked it via choicehotels website at 9pm. It only showed 'smoking' rooms left, but when we got there we saw not too many cars in the lot so asked for non-smoking - was told "only smoking left" - like it was sold-out ??. There are 2 buildings each with 24 rooms (2 stories with 6 per side per floor ( 100-106 107-113 etc). I only saw about 5 cars in my building and 3 in the other building. Total = 48 rooms , but no smoking available ? After reading other reviews here, maybe the unused ones were condemned ?

Anyhow, we were in # 208. I THINK the floor in the room was supposed to be blue/green color but tough to tell thru the brown layer of dirt. (We wore shoes to/from bathroom at night.)
TV reception - bring some tin foil or rabbit ears. They HAVE cable but the only channel that was viewable was CNN. All others are wavy/snowy. Played with the coax- didn't help.
Luckily we had our own pillows to use. Thought we'd mention the issues at check-out , but we never were asked " How was everything ?" Having seen the room we skipped the continental breakfast in the lobby and ate at a restaurant next to Rt 80 called Mary's. I couldn't tell all of the omelette options due to the dried coffee stain on the typed menu - but the food looked good so we ordered raisin french toast , and eggs over: good food. Coffee was very good too.
( Apparently detail isn't a big thing on that street.)

“Don't Stay Here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2008

The high speed internet at this motel only works in a couple of rooms and in the lobby if it works at all. Older motel that has brick walls that block the signal. If you are a smoker you will not pick up the wireless signal in the smoking rooms.

“Suggest Other Accomodations”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2006

people found this review helpful

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times, getting two rooms each stay. Many of the rooms are water damaged, with black mold all over the bathroom and/or bedroom ceilings. Wallpaper peeling off the walls, sometimes mold behind the peeling paper. Water stain on the ceilings. Carpet appears to have never been shampooed. The toilet continuously flushed non-stop, they had no maintenance staff and we had to shut the water off to the commode by the shut off valve in order to sleep. The room heater was full of dust, dirty filter, etc. There is no safety chain or sliding lock on the doors to the rooms! This hotel is in very poor repair. Originally, we reported this to the manangement, they said the hotel had been remodeled. Our 2nd stay the next room appeared better, they basically, just covered the mold with putting a drop ceiling over it, etc. The next stays proved absolutely terrible again. (Apparently only some rooms were given cosmetic fixes. Most have not been touched.
Our last room did not even have baseboards on the floors, just a bare gap, approximately 3 inches above the carpet before the wall started. If you like a clean, well maintained hotel in good repair, look somewhere else! I am terribly concerned about the health of staying there as mold infestation is unhealthy & there are toxic molds. Mold must be remediated correctly, not just covered. I have never seen a hotel/motel without a chain/sliding lock on the door. The management is unresponsive also.

  • Disliked — Mold, older poorly maintenanced, no chain or sliding lock on door, unresponsiveness of staff
  • Tips/Secrets — Pick another hotel!
  • Stayed October 2006, travelled with family
