It started out bad when I called to confirm our reservation since we never received a conformation and the owner Louise was very rude when I asked about it since she said she was "sick" and couldn't go down stairs to check. First of all the place is really run down and the service poor. The first suite we where to stay in on the second floor had a strange gas odor to it and as we stayed in the room less than a 1/2 hr I started to have trouble breathing and my husband was getting a headache. When we went down to the first floor we realized it was the gas fireplace that was burning right up into the fireplace in our room. We told the owner that there is definitely something wrong with the room, she told us we were "crazy" because there was nothing wrong with the room. We exchanged rooms to a small little cottage that had mold on the walls covered with Victorian wall paper. Also you had to watch out for dog crap every time you walked to the back of the cottage room and didn't we both step in it. We also were charged the suite price of $130 a night even though we spent 2 nights in the cottage that is only $95. The upstairs’ suites are musty, run down and has very poor accommodations.....the TV has to be at least 25 yrs old or older and it's maybe a 13". We call the two rooms we stayed in "the Gas Chamber" and the "Mold" room. If you have allergies like I do, it isn't worth spending a lot of money just to be miserable in a rundown B & B that probably was nice at one time but isn't now!

We stayed at the VictoriAnn Oct 15-17 and, like the previous reviewer, were surprised by the negative reviews. However, I have never been one to believe everything I read so we arrived at our destination optimistic. We really enjoyed our stay with Louise Ogilvie. I found her to be quite intelligent and interesting and she couldn't have been more accomodating. We enjoyed the privacy and coziness of our little "cottage." Yes, it was small, but we had been told that there was really just enough room for the bed so we expected tight quarters. We had a split bath and private oustside entrance with lots of windows overlooking the garden. We even had a safe place to put our bikes. We found our breakfast to be outstanding - not just run of the mill.

It was fall festival weekend and there was lots to do. We love Jim Thorpe

I booked a last minute 2 night stay with my husband and two children(ages 5 and 9). After I read the reviews, I had second thoughts, but it was too late to change plans. I was expecting the worst, but was presented with a perfectly lovely weekend in the gorgeous Poconos. The rooms were nice, and my children LOVED their own room decorated in lace and antiques. We had our own floor, so we didn't feel like we were stacked on top of each other. Breakfast was fine, nothing extraordinary, but the cook did fix plain pancakes for our picky child on request. They were a friendly and accomodating bunch. Jim Thorpe is a cute little town, and I would definitely recommend the VictoriAnn.

Upon entering the dark foyer, you'll be hit with the overwhelming smell of mold/mildew & dog. The furnishings look like they haven't been updated in decades (& not in a nice, old, antique-ish way). The mattress on our bed was terrible; my friend tossed & turned all night. The toilet in our bathroom required at least 2 flushes each time. Overall, the location (right on Broadway) & the full breakfast (a good variety of food, including homemade muffins, eggs, meat, fruit & porridge) were the only positives of staying here.
