“It was a lovely, small town hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Our friends were getting married in Jim Thorpe and we were booked in here. I was worried due to the plethora of bad reviews so much so that I tried to call and have the reservation moved to The Inn (where we had breakfast every morning). I am very glad we didn't. It was just lovely inside. There was no mould, damp or anything suspect. The living room had a gas burning fire and the kitchen was well supplied. It even had a high chair which was very useful for us.

We had very little to do with management, house keeping came to our room every day and we got replacement tea/coffee and towels.

The room itself was large. It had a table, two chairs and a glass topped dresser. There was also space for a travel cot. The ensuite bathroom was clean and well lit. We were on the top floor so neighbours weren't a problem though I did hear that on the lower floors that noise was an issue. We didn't use it but we knew about the hot tub outside. It is a short walk to the shops. It is not a 5 star hotel, it is just a quaint, hole in the wall house where we felt as comfortable as being at home. It's also a lot bigger than I realised on the first day!

There is no lift and the stairs are quite narrow but not too steep.

I really hope we get to go again.

Room Tip: The top floor seems to have less noise issues, but if you have mobility issues, the first floor is a...

“Very poor experience.”

I initially wrote a review for "The Inn at Jim Thorpe" because I thought it was all one establishment. I was wrong and am glad to have the chance to amend my thoughts. My initial review was written the night before I thought I was going to check out. I was forced by circumstance to stay a full week. My review was accurate and I made every attempt to be reasonable. When I checked out, I was asked how the stay was and I told them the truth. There were many issues. The largest seemed to come from miscommunications with the manager (inn keeper) and my company. To begin with, I called the morning I was to arrive to make sure they had the reservation and my room would be ready. I told them that I would likely not be checking in until around 9pm ("plus or minus", I said). I arrived a bit after that (approx. 9:15PM) and was told that they gave my room to another person. The reason I was given was that the person had a name that sounded like mine. It was explained to me that I would need to check out of the room they had for me for the night and check back into the correct room the next day. They had no luggage cart available and no staff to assist with unpacking. As I was at that "hotel" for an extended 3 month stay, I had much with me that I needed to unpack. The woman who made the mistake which caused me the trouble then suggested that I leave some of the stuff in the car overnight. I explained that there was a lot of stuff, that it was valuable and that I was not comfortable leaving it in my car overnight. She told me that the Inn would not be responsible for theft of items from my car (even though it was completely the Inn's fault my stuff had to stay in the car). She did show up at the Broadway House and insisted on carrying two bags up for me; I was told later that this was how I was compensated for the trouble. I am unsure of what else the compensation could have been. They did shift schedules to put me in a larger room (instead of the glorified closet I was initially booked in), but I call that simply customer service and something that should have been done anyway.My company was told I would have kitchen access and this never happened. The rooms have a bed, a bath , a TV and that is it. No microwave and no refrigerator. During the week, I slept very poorly. The man who maintains the house lived above me and had a very heavy style of walking. His thumping woke me 9 times (Yes, I counted)! When I checked out and answered the clerks question ("how was your stay?"), the inn keeper was brought out to talk with me. He listened to what I said about the manager of the house. In no way did he take responsibility for how poor my stay was. In fact, I was reprimanded extensively for posting my initial review on TripAdvisor, even though he admitted to not reading it. My initial review really was not overly negative. He also reprimanded me for the communication errors, which I had nothing to do with. There was no apology. This establishment is NOT APPROPRIATE FOR LONG-TERM STAYS and it should not have been offered as such. I am not sure how these issues were my fault and so I am really shocked I had to sit there and be yelled at and corrected in the middle of the lobby by the manager. The staff can spend the rest of their lives pretending they are right, I don't care. I won't stay there again and I don't recommend it.

Room Tip: Drive the 13 extra miles and stay at COUNTRY INN & SUITES.

“I got pneumonia from this rotting, mold infested dump!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

Do NOT ever stay here!!! Major health hazord! When we checked out early after I woke up puking and had a fever And couldn't turn my head or use my shoulders,the lady at the desk was nice enough to refund our money we pre paid for the second night, then was so kind to tell us they have complaints about the smell all the time but only o. The first floor, so she was suprised to hear this from the 2nd floor, AFTEr the jerks booked us there like idiots! We had to cut our HONEYMOOn short due to my extreme case of pneumonia, and had to drive 10 hours home with my body shutting down on me. I finally came to life a bit today and called managment to let them know what happened... Do you think they called me back?! Heck friggen no! They made their money, what do they care?! Plus they know dang well what that place has going on there.. It's disgusting.. When I cough out the infection in my lungs it tastes exactly like what that rotting crap hole smelled like! (baaaahhh glah gag) makes my stomach turn to think Bout it. Anyway.. So pneumonia normally starts as a cold, goes to bronchitis and then turns into pneumonia... Not me! I was healthy and happy and went to bed after spraying the curtains n carpet with body spray.. Then woke up on my death bed.. 7 days later I can finally open my eyes, get my own clothes changed, and tonight we will see if I sweat the bed out 4 times. P.s. I'm a non smoker so no relations to that either! My doctor told me that the mold and mildew In that house is MORE the likely what caused this. I'm so disgusted at the thieves running this place and puting innocent peoples health at risk for a $120 .. Oh and 2 chocolate chip cookies... Friggen jerk offs. Trust me my message to managment was not a rant like this.. I was very polite! Still no response! RATS!

“wierd”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2011

My husband and I stayed one night at the Broadway House and it felt like we were staying at Grandma's house. Just don't expect the feel of a hotel b/c it is a house. The back patio and hot tub were a hit. Neighbors weren't too happy with all of us as our party filled the house. We got a noise complaint at 10pm due to us sitting outside talking. Keep in mind that this was over a holiday weekend.

“Very Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2010

We had never been to Jim Thorpe, but were going to a concert at Penns Peak and decided to stay overnight at the Broadway House. We only saw our room, halls and common area rooms, but felt the place needed redecorating. Our bedroom was dreary and small, not very romantic. The entire place had the smell of air freshner or a candle scent. The parking was REALLY tight in the parking lot. Someone parked next to us at the end where there wasn't a lined spot. The car blocked another car parked in another area. I would not stay there again. Perhaps their mother hotel Inn of Jim Thorpe is better.
The discounted breakfast was wonderful at their restaurant.
