It was difficult trying to find a hotel/motel that had available rooms that was listed on the Internet. This was because the time we went to the Pocono Mountain region, there was the NASCAR race going on. Also, we were told on the phone by all the hotels that they were charging more for their rooms because of this. After doing an engine search on the Internet, I did finally find a motel in Stroudsburg, which is less than 10 miles from the Bushkill Falls attraction.
This motel was a mistake. From the get-go, when we checked in, I got this vibe that this was not a place to be. I was right! When we checked in, it was a nightmare. First, a lady, the mother, (it appeared to be a family-run business) tried to run our debit card through. She made a mistake and charged us twice. Then I complained about that, and then her husband and the son started to squabble how to remedy the second charge on my card. Finally, the son overruled the father and proceeded to tell me that I was only going to be charged only once for the room. He claimed he took care of it.
We were given a room on the ground level. The room had a king-size bed, a writing table and chair, a refrigerator, a microwave, a picture window, and a bathroom with a shower/bath and a toilet. The walls were off-white in color and decorated with cheap pictures. The room appeared okay in the cleaning department, except it wasn’t spotless. There were scummy marks on the walls.
The room was a small one with a king-size bed stuffed in it. One wall in the area of the bed had wallpaper coming off. One of the lights on the wall near the bed was not working. And the bathroom was extremely small. We paid $120 for 1 night here. I think that price was too much for what we were paying.
There are only two things I can say that are positive. One, in the office/lobby area, you are offered a continental breakfast of pastries or bagels and juice. And two, the location is great. It was only 8 miles from Bushkill Falls and other attractions.
This hotel is located at 100 Park Ave./I-80, Stroudsburg, PA, 18360. The phone number is 570/424-1771. Driving directions are as follows:
From the north: I-380 south to I-80 and I-80 east to Exit 307. Take your first right to the hotel.
From the south: Take route 33 north to I-80 and I-80 east to exit 307. Take first right to the hotel.
From the east: Traveling I-80 East, use Exit 307.
From the West: Traveling I-80 west, use exit 307, take 191 South, and then take first right on Lenox Street.
I somewhat recommend this accommodation only for its location. I would only stay here again if all the other area accommodations are booked.
