Detailed Reviews
Stayed here for one night as a Christmas present getaway with my husband. Before we arrived, my husband called to see if we could check in early as we had a spa appointment at 1:30 pm. The staff member he talked to put him on hold and then hung up on him. He had to call back and then was rudely told that there was nothing they could do unless we wanted to pay an extra $100.
We had a wonderful experience at the spa and really enjoyed the Brewery on the premises as well. The room was nice until we realized we couldn’t get it to cool down. The weather was unseasonably warm for January. It was about 65 degrees outside. We couldn’t get our room to get below 72. We barely slept because the room was so incredibly warm. We ate in the restaurant and spent $100 on a meal that was probably worth $40. We were subject to listening to the DJ playing the wedding on the property while we ate our meals. The other guests in the hotel were incredibly loud as we tried to sleep. Then, in the early Morning hours, our grate for the access to fix the tub fell in the bathroom waking us with a fright. My husband couldn’t get it to go back in without it falling again.
We shared our experience with the front desk upon checking out and the staff didn’t seem to care at all. We will not return except maybe to use the spa and visit the brewery. Beware if you stay here that you have limited access to change the temperature in the room and don’t eat in the restaurant, especially if there is a wedding going on.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am pleased to hear you enjoyed our spa and brewery, both just a few of the great amenities we offer here at Shawnee. I'm truly sorry about the unseasonably warm weather. Our historic Inn was built in 1911, therefore, it has the option of heat or air by season and naturally, heat is what is available currently. If you do return to visit our spa and brewery, please ask to speak with someone about some of our accommodations outside of our main Inn. You may find these to be more suitable for a future getaway with your husband. Thank you again for providing your comments. We hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back.

Stayed here for a ski weekend getaway with friends. The main building of the grounds is very charming with the creaky, wooden floors and dark colors. We utilized the pool everyday and it was very nice and clean and not too crowded whenever we went. Our package included breakfast every morning and was surprised to find out it was a hot buffet breakfast and the selections were many and plentiful -- the eggs were extremely tasty!
We stayed in the Deleware Lodge which was a 5-10 minute walk to the main building and was very clean and spacious. The only thing I did not like was the "cruise ship" size shower and water pressure. Other then that, the room was spacious, and very clean. I also liked the cookies on the bed in the evening time which was a nice touch.
Overall it was a really fun weekend and can't wait to go back for the summer activities.

Stayed three nights in Sycamore Cabin, November 7-10, 2020 for a tribute/celebration of departed family member. While the location is absolutely stunning and most employees very friendly and accommodating , the cabins BADLY need some help; two of three TVs did not work, door-lock mechanism did not work, sheets did not fit bed, tiny bathrooms made shaving a real challenge, front porch rotting, paint peeling off cottage everywhere, furniture stained and sagging, etc. At $400 per night, this rate is truly delusional given the state of the cabin. The only reason my rating is not worse, is that the location is outragingly beautiful

Thank you for your comments. We truly appreciate your comments regarding our location and our staff. As you mentioned, our staff is friendly and accommodation - always here to help where needed. I'm sorry we didn't know your TV's weren't working while you were here and didn't have the opportunity to fix those. It was actually just a quick change of the input on the TV that needed to be selected that any of our maintenance staff would have been able to easily correct for you. We appreciate the rest of the feedback you provided that will help us make some improvements in the future. The guest perspective is our most valuable tool. We are sorry for your family's loss. I hope your celebration was successful. Wishing you peace during the holiday season.

We decided to go there for our anniversary and was able to book a suite. I was initially impressed by their website's statements about their efforts due to Covid. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the environment itself. Place definitely outdated and not clean. That's fine if the pricing matched that, but the prices do not match the quality of the hotel conditions or service. I was so happy that I brought wipes and lysol because our room needed it. Bathroom was filled with hair (not ours), complimentary shampoo was half empty, dead wasp in the middle of the floor, and counters did not seem to be wiped down. Plus the sheet was on the wrong way, and there was only a sheet between you and the actual mattress (and not a fitted sheet). As for the food, pricey food was not worth it in the River Room (very salty - never mind their "basic" (the word used by our server) wines. We were able to bring a bottle that we brought but was told typically they charge a $35 corking fee - What? From a "nice" restaurant who doesn't even have a wine list. Seemed that the restaurant staff was very overwhelmed (I felt bad for them), and overheard one of the staff (manager?) complaining about a customer who said they found a "long black hair" in their food. I do appreciate the commitment from a majority of the time of staff and guests wearing masks. We did have a nice time because we had a beautiful view of the river and really enjoyed the private bonfire and nearby hiking. During non-pandemic times, I probably wouldn't bother complaining about these things. BUT, I would recommend not going there during this time if you're worried about cleanliness or wanting quality services from your hotel. I realize this is a tough time for all, including businesses and especially the staff. I do appreciate all the staff coming in for work during the pandemic. I just hope this review initiates an increased effort in their cleaning process.

Happy anniversary! Thank you for staying with us at Shawnee. I am sorry about your experience, but it will be shared and the areas of concern highlighted and discussed. I appreciate the kind word about the staff coming to work and the realization that it is a tough time. As you wrote, it is a tough time for all and we hope to be a bit of a respite from that difficult time. I am sorry that we were unable to fill that void this visit. There is much discussion about cleaning and sanitation protocol. There is a lot of emphasis on mask-wearing and social distancing. We will continue to work on service issues and refraining from complaining in front of guests. Please reach out to me personally if you have any other suggestions or comments.

We booked this hotel with hopes of glamping but needed to switch to the Inn due to a scheduling error our part. The Inn is so run down, every inch needs renovations. They did not use fitted sheets on the bed which left the mattress exposed on the sides. I had to buy sheets, blankets and towels from Home Goods before I would consider sleeping in the room. The side entry way ceiling tiles are covered in black mold which you can smell throughout the entire building and blowing out of the ac vent in the room. There is no evidence of enhanced cleaning/ sanitation for COVID-19. Getting in the indoor pool and hot tub were out of the question. I read the mixed reviews and can’t figure out the variance because this place is over priced, run-down and barely habitable. The glamping sites are probably better than the building itself.
It does have a nice view of the river and is close to some nice wineries which you will want to visit to drown your sorrows for booking a room at this place.

Ouch. I am so sorry. Thank you for your review. I apologize for the scheduling error for glamping. Our property first opened in 1911 and has been accepting guests for over 100 years. I certainly do not want to mistake historic for rundown and I do not want to offer excuses because it will not fix your experience which is very important to us. I will go over these points with staff, management, and ownership. A note about Covid 19: We all have families and are focused on cleaning/sanitation and protocol for COVID-19. This is not only for the guest but for the staff and who they go home to. I am so sorry it seemed like we were lacking any protocol. I am certainly delighted that you found the wineries that are close by that make this area a great destination. We are also very fortunate to have a beautiful location. Please feel free to reach out to me personally.

I booked a trip to the resort because our family needed to away after the quarantine plus it it was my son's 13th birthday. I wanted to do something fun like rafting down the river, archery and horseback riding. The resort and the area provided my family with the adventure we were looking for and more. First it took me over an hr to get my room then when I got there the keys didn't work had to stand in line again to get the keys reprogrammed. I was given a discount for the hassle, however we didn't stay our entire week because of the hotel. My kids just didn't feel comfortable. The room was clean but still felt dirty. The bathroom was the worst because it was remodeled in the late 70's or 80s and it felt like that was last time it was cleaned. When you go vacation you want to feel comfortable almost with a spa like feel. My home is cleaner, more up lavish and comfortable than this resort. The hotel restaurant was ok, however my daughter had dirty glass and cold bacon for breakfast; the waitress had an attitude when we brought it to her attention. The meal at dinner wasn't better, the prices were high and food quality was low. No real selection that fit families. My kids begged to leave and we only stayed two nights. It was saddening because the setting was beautiful however the hotel and restaurant was horrible.

This is a cute little hideaway not far from Philadelphia. We stayed for the weekend- one night in a tent right on the water and another night in the Inn. The tent experience was a lot of fun! Not a lot of food options however. My only feedback would be for the hotel to better prepare the surroundings of the tent (tiktorchs were empty and bug candles were from last season). They did have nightly entertainment with live music and craft beer on the premises. We canoed too which was included with our stay. I would come back again!

Hello yourtrainer! Thank you so much for choosing the historic Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort for your Pocono Mountains getaway from Philadelphia. Great choice to partake in at least one evening of our Riverside Glamping experience! We really appreciate your feedback and will be working to constantly improve this unique experience of ours. You certainly cannot find an overnight stay with a better view! I'm glad you were also able to enjoy your time on the Delaware River and were able to check out our ShawneeCraft Brewery while you were here.

We chose the Shawnee Inn to enjoy a relaxing mountain escape for a getaway weekend. The inn is lovely both inside and out, a large historic building carefully preserved and situated on acres of green grounds and forests next to the refreshing Delaware River. Yes, the most economical rooms are a bit small and have a step-up bathroom, but the view was pretty and we thought the value was very fair.
Because the site is a bit isolated, we selected the meal package, which included a three course dinner and a full hot buffet breakfast. The menu features a great variety of choices and the entrees are large. My rainbow cake was scrumptious! We dined in the comfortable River Room, and then strolled down to the onsite brewery to listen a bit to a live band playing outside. Such fun!
Although we did not kayak or tube on the river (which was quite popular!), we did try out the large indoor pool. Golfing is one of the key resort activities. There is also a large library inside for rainy days. All staff were extremely pleasant and gracious.
The only negatives we encountered were other guests--a man smoking on the porch although no smoking signs are prominently displayed everywhere; a family who brought alcoholic drinks including glass beer bottles into the pool area, which was not permitted, and parents who allowed little ones to use the hot tub as a kiddie pool. I suppose it is difficult to monitor everyone and enforce the rules, but it is disappointing to see this negative adult behavior.
Nevertheless, our stay was wonderful, and we would happily return to this charming property!

Beer at brewery was amazing, golf amenities were fun, near to good hikes. However I booked this for a fancy get away birthday weekend and we had stayed at Skytop a couple times before and unfortunately that started us with high expectations.
Minor things they could improve upon: general replacement of water damaged ceiling tiles found everywhere, replace areas where the carpet is stained and patches missing, general décor was strange and not unified pieces of various Asian themed statues and wooden structures.
Whoever made the website and descriptions of the dining should get an immediate raise. I booked this based on the "fine dining" at River Room, with Charlies Bar for happy hour, all followed up with what I imagined to be a classy evening at the Piano Bar listed adjacent to the River Room. We have stayed at Skytop 3 times so to come in and see that the "adjacent piano bar" was a sad lobby where the check in was, with an empty bookcase and seating for max 4 without social distancing. Said piano bar was a sad space with a no ambiance (music or lighting, nobody ever played the piano). The bartender was kind but the cocktails were horrible. Not a place you want to grab classy drinks before dinner. We dressed up nice and went to the River Room where I immediately could tell this was not the place advertised for "foodies and wine aficionados" with the classy pic on the website. Again no music, poor lighting, bad food. I got pasta while my date got a small steak, ONE small mushroom, plain baked potato no salt or butter, and a tomato. We just laughed as we were dressed up for a nice birthday dinner and missed the mark. Some people in sweats who clearly knew this was not the dining experience that you look forward to. Staff was kind.
For the other dining option the first night we went to Keystone after check in at 7:45 PM and asked for a table for 2 and the host said "well the bartender is trying to go home." The brewery also marketed as pizzeria and it was 3 toaster ovens where they heat up frozen pizza. But the beer was fantastic would recommend and the staff very nice. No dining or food should be eaten at the inn past the beer.
Staff seemed confused about what was open. Via phone they said no chip and put or driving range, but we did end up doing those despite what they said on phone. Spa employees were very nice.

Terrible experience. Probably they just reopened after the COVID lock down, and this would be the only excuse for all what happened to us.
The room (cabin) was not clean until one hour after check in time. The overall cleanliness level was totally unacceptable.
The first day we asked many times about the room service (they were never coming to clean the room). The answer at the lobby was that they were on their way ... at the end, by 7pm another person told us that since we had the pandemic situation they would not clean the room in the 4 days we were there.
Same experience with the restaurant. NOT EVEN ONCE they served what we asked, all sides were wrong, even the entrees sometimes, the service was slow and the quality pretty low.
For a long time I had wanted to visit this hotel, specially the glamping option, but we are certainly not coming back. On top of this everything looks updated and not maintained at all. It looks like an abandoned old luxury resort...

Dear NuriaC1974: I apologize about your experience. It is all about expectations and we did not set these properly and/or deliver on what you expected. Since the COVID outbreak we have not been servicing rooms in the middle of a guest stay. Towels can be requested, garbage taken out, amenities replaced, etc... but our room attendants are not entering a room during the guest stay. This is for the safety of the guest and the staff. I am sorry this was not communicated clearly. I hope you will reach out to me personally. I think that we can ensure you have the experience you expected.

Good Afternoon! Pets are not allowed in any of our accommodations here at the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. However, there are some kennels and boarding places nearby. I personally would recommend Pocono Bed and Biscuits on Ann St. in Stroudsburg, only 10 minutes from us. It's more like a hotel stay for dogs instead of a kennel. If you have any more questions, please give us a call. We hope to welcome you to our historic resort soon!
Hello! There are not any toddler specific activities, but we have a lot of family-friendly activities offered each day. Please give us a call directly at 570-424-4000 and one of our guest service members will be able to provide you with information on the activities available to our overnight guests. Hope to see you soon!
Greetings! As a tradition, we begin decorating the morning after Thanksgiving, therefore, unfortunately it will not be festive for the holidays quite yet in mid November. However, our Murder Mystery weekends are quite fun and the resort is beautiful throughout all the seasons. I truly believe you, your family, and your friends will have a lovely visit at the historic Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort!
Hello! River Village 1 and 2 are acutally owned by Wyndham Shawnee Resort and are not part of the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. Grilling is not permitted at the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. I am unsure if the Wyndham villa areas have any bbq grills or not. You will have to contact them directly. Hope to see you around Shawnee soon!
