This is probably the best hotel closest to casino and racetrack. Check in was a breeze. Room was super clean and very modern. Great beds and pillows as well! Plenty of restaurants,gas,and dunkin donuts nearby. Highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area. Only complaint is that it is slightly overpriced.

From the moment I finally found this hotel (it is located on the side of a mountain, behind other buildings - a little difficult to locate) The front doors were locked - and the front desk agent was over at the other end of the lobby getting coffee, taking his merry time to get back to let me know.

Very comfortable hotel that includes hot breakfast (eggs, pancakes, etc.). Very friendly staff and reasonably priced. If you are a casino or horse racing fan, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs is literally one mile up the road on the same road. If you stay at the hotel, you can call the hotel directly (get their phone number off their web... More

Front Desk folks not only offer just baked cookies every day, but smiling faces to go with the cookies. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is very good and included in the room rate for everyone. What's not to like? We stay there often. They readily accept the Roomsaver coupon so we stay there for $69.00.

The room was clean, the staff was friendly, however, they need a sign marking the turn off of Highway 1063. From a distance you can see the Hiliday Inn Express sign, but as you get closer, you no longer see it. Again, a small sign by the road would be great. The only other complaint I have was the TV...

We sledged into this very welcoming property after a long day's drive. The staff were extremely accommodating and helpful regarding our parking needs, and checked us in effortlessly. We were offered a ride to a restaurant in the hotel shuttle and this was just great. We were able to dine on our own schedule and return in good order. Just... More

Lobby is nice and so is the restaurant area. Front desk staff were great. But upstairs -- the carpets in the hallway are worn, frayed and dirty. Rooms are crazy small. Can hear every sneeze, cough and door closing down the hall. Location of hotel is good - close to interstates. No restaurants in walking distance though. Better choices for... More
