“Great Night away”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

We were coming back from a 5 star in Mexico and wanted one more night before heading home and back to work, we have a German Shepard that was in the kennel for the week and one more night and having him with us seemed to be a good idea. As we left the airport at 11pm my wife thought of the Woodlands and booked us for the next day after we picked up the dog. What a great idea that it was. From the time that we walked in untill the next day it was great. Our dog was welcome and we did not have a crappy room because of him. The people at the restaurants were pleasant and helpful as well. Coming from the resort we were in we prepared ourselves for at least a bit of a let down, and happy to say that we were very happy and plan on returning soon as this is a great place to escape to and at a great price also. With a pet in any metro area it can be hard for walks etc. but this was worth it and we will be returning. Clean, friendly, good food and pet friendly- doesnt get much better than that, thank you!

So happy you enjoyed your stay with us! I know from experience the difficulty sometimes of traveling with pets, and the staff at The Woodlands pride ourselves on providing upscale accommodations for all of our guests - with and without pets. Thanks so much for taking the time to review our hotel - I hope that you truly had a wonderful time both during you stay with us, as well as at the resort in Mexico. Hope to see you again soon!

“BRIDAL SUITE”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

We recently stood at the Woodland Inn for our 10 year wedding anniversary , and the room was very nice . It had a very large jacuzzi , nice size bed , and this room happened to face the stream , which was very nice to look at !!!!!!!
However , the next day when we left , we expected the house cleaner to at least clean the jacuzzi , which got dirty from the night before because we had used it . Not only did the house keeping NOT clean the bathroom , they also DID NOT even bother to clean the jacuzzi . The jacuzzi clearly needed to be clean , and they failed to do that . Also , when we arrived there the first night , we had a total of 4 clean towels to use , housekeeping left us with only ONE !!!!! So I had to call them to provide more towels , more toilet paper , and I ended up cleaning the jacuzzi MYSELF !!!!! For the price of this room , I at least expected the room to look decent when we got back from sight seeing . Although we left the next day ( it was just a weekend getaway ) , I would NOT be returning to this Inn at all . Having traveled the entire world and staying at many different hotels , motels , and Inns along the way , this by far was the WORST that I have ever seen in housekeeping . I have NEVER cleaned a jacuzzi anywhere that I have stayed at !!!!!!!! Even 3 star hotels always have the bathroom clean for you when you get back to your room.
Overall, impressive room , housekeeping , not impressed ---- someone please teach them how to clean a room !!!!!!!

Room Tip: We stood in room 235 , overlooking the stream ..........

“Girls Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011

What a surprise! I had no idea how nice this hotel was going to be! The outside looks a little old but the rooms are super nice and super modern, with comfy beds and even Keurig single cup coffee makers! Our room had a huge balcony over looking a gorgeous wooded area with a stream. We had adjoining rooms which worked great for a "girls weekend reunion". There's a few great restaurants and a shuttle to the very close by Mohegan Sun. The staff was wonderful - helpful and friendly.

Room Tip: Loved the wooded view with the large balcony!

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and we loved it. Room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. Loved the decor and the food at the restaurant was yummy. The staff was helpful and friendly and another plus is that they have a free shuttle to the Mohegan Sun whenever you want to go. It runs until 2 a.m on the weekends. Will definitely stay there again.

“Shot in the Dark!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

We took a look on the internet for a hotel in or near the mountains in PA with things to do and fun to have. They had both!!! The pictures on the internet do not do it justice. It is much bigger in person. The hotel itself had two nice restaurants, one being a sports bar with great drinks and great bartenders. The food was delicious in both restaurants. They also had two night clubs. The workers and staff were all very helpful with what ever you needed. We got a great package on the internet that made the price of the hotel overall not bad for what it had and the beautiful view situated on a stream. They are also situated within minutes of shopping and the casino. Will definitely go back again and recommend it to anyone asking for a nice place to stay in the mountains.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the stream side. Great to hear the water flowing down stream and see ducks right...
