The people were nice, but it's a very old hotel that hasn't been updated probably since the 1990s. The pool and the restaurant looked like they hadn't been open in weeks (months?). But when you don't have working wireless, you can't score higher than 2 stars, especially when that's advertised. The hot water was minimal as well.

I do not get away often and it was my birthday so we decided to go for a 2 night stay the conference center was close to things we wanted to do we picked it for the indoor pool however the pool water had a green tint and the pool floor was dirty you could smell the chlorine which is not a good thing. It snowed the day before we got there and the first night they never cleared the walkways so it was difficult getting to the room I also had to wonder around to find towels as no one answered the front desk phone so overall the hotel was not worth the money and when we got there we upgraded to the jacuzzi tub room so we spent even more to get less not happy and would not recommend this place to anyone else. I would also like to note I am a pool CPO for the state of NJ

The place is dirty, and it smells horrible. The pool is not clean and had water dripping from the roof! It has a horrible smell and the bathroom was moldy. The rugs look like they have not been clean in years. We did not have any towels in the room when we got there. Also, the water from the sink and shower looked yellowish. I do not recommend. The owners should invest money into this place and do a make over because it is definetly not what the pictures shows, SPECIALLY the pool area! At ALL!!!

Entire building is worn and outdated, outlets out of the wall, ice cold swinging pool, holes in walls, ceiling stains moldy smell, and this is all over the place not just the room asked for a refund and the manager was very rude and refused to entertain a refund. The place should be shut down. Multiple guests were unhappy.

The property was absolutely disgusting. There was blood on our pillows. The rooms were not clean. The sheets had hair on it. The workers were smoking in the lobby. None of the amenities were available. The fitness center equipment was broken and not usable. The swimming pool was closed. There is no continental breakfast at all, not even coffee. The pool table bar and fireplace was not available. The entire area was closed. The whole hotel was absolutely disgusting. I am highly disappointed and request a full refund.

Very run down! Odd smell in hallway. Decent size hotel and only 4 cars in the lot! Not worth the 60$ stay. Mixed hotel up with another down the street we were familiar with. Certainly was not the hot I was thinking it was. Would have went elsewhere but was too tired to look for something else.

The room itself was in decent shape and cleanliness, but the building showed a lot of deterioration. We booked here for the indoor pool, but the water and pool room temp was too chilly. Hickory Run State Park nearby was beautiful and worth visiting. A lot of businesses in the area are boarded up, and I would guess this hotel will join them which is unfortunate because the staff (owners?) were kind.

This property currently should remove resort from its name as it is hardly a resort. There is no food service since the restaurant and lounge/bar area is closed. The rooms were comfortable but severely dated. The only plus was the convenience and low price for a clean room and comfortable bed for the night.

Comfortable and pleasant stay, reasonable price
Surprisingly comfortable stay. The beds are quite nice, and the amenities are plentiful for the price. Did not try the pool, but nice to know it was an option. The building we stayed in was somewhat separate from the main building with the lobby. This included the buildings having individual parking lots, which was nice as you could park your car a very short walk from the building that you are staying in. There are a few fast food options just a couple minutes down the road, consisting of a McDonald's, a Burger King, an Arby's, and a Wawa's. Overall an amenable stay. If you are using it to go to the Camelback Resort for an event, such as we did, be aware that the trip is 30 minutes.

The hotel actually appeared to be abandoned when we arrived. There were no cars in the parking lot, and although there was someone at the front desk it didn't get much busier. The room itself was old feeling and felt shabby.

We paid a lot through expedia. The listing said the location had a restaurant and bar. Both had been closed for a very long time. The room was very hot and stuffy when we arrived, the air conditioner barely worked, the windows opened, but had no screens. The halls, stairwells, and elevators were filthy. The surrounding grounds were trashed, with piles of garbage and construction debris.

When my family and I arrived at the place, it looked like a scene from the series The Walking Dead. everything abandoned. broken grills. the pool was dirty with dirt falling from the roof. Rusty ventilation iron in the pool area, the wood is almost falling from the ceiling. I think this hotel was very good in the past but now it needs to be closed and renovated urgently. i think this hotel should not be open. until it is renovated.
