"AWESOME!"

Overall Score5.0/ 5

The front desk attendants were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was a great start to our day. We come out to the area at least once a year. Now that I have a niece going to Scranton University we will have to stay more often. Great proximity to Mohegan Sun. Check out was easy. Next time we will come earlier and try to enjoy the pool.

"Nice room but.."

Overall Score3.0/ 5

Check in staff was friendly and efficient. The driveway coming up the hill to the hotel is windy and narrow and my car was getting hit by branches sticking out. The room/bed was very comfortable but even though I turned the heat off, it kept turning on throughout the night and it was very loud which woke me up a few times. It would have been nice to have water available in my room. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay.

Jean G. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

19-Feb-2025 Verified Review, stayed from Mon Feb 17 to Tue Feb 18 2025 at a $98.00 average nightly rate.
