“OK place for overnight”

I was camping at the Resica Falls Boy Scouts camp. On my second night, my battery for my CPAP machine died and I need to find a place to stay. Found this motel.

I was camping at the Resica Falls Boy Scouts camp. On my second night, my battery for my CPAP machine died and I need to find a place to stay. Found this motel. Was a bit wary as I read some of the reviews that talked about bad smells in the rooms and other issues. I decided since I just need an overnight, I would go there. I thought the price was a bit high for the room I got, but was comfortable enough. When I checked out the next morning, I did hear another guest complaining about the smells. Can't say I would stay there again.

“Adequate lodging, friendly service, excellent location”

I was wary about staying here due to recent reviews, but it was the only hotel in the area I wanted to be in which had rooms available by the time I booked.

I was wary about staying here due to recent reviews, but it was the only hotel in the area I wanted to be in which had rooms available by the time I booked. As one reviewer stated, the price doesn't merit the accommodations, but I guess that depends on when you stay. I was up Columbus Day weekend, and other than hotels in Shawnee, Bushkill Inn, or staying further down towards or in Stroudsburg, this is the only spot in town. They can charge what they want. We paid $130/night, which wasn't too crazy, for a holiday weekend. The sheets were clean, the mattresses were comfortable, and there were no bedbugs in my room, so those are things to be grateful for. The hosts/people running the establishment were very nice and helpful. They put the heat on for the room, after we requested it; when we needed a new blow dryer because the one in the room didn't work, they provided a new one. The "breakfast" is Cheerios or Raisin Bran with milk, or rolls, bagels, butter, or cream cheese, coffee and tea. Not luxurious, which we had no illusions about when we booked. The AC had to be on in the room continuously, otherwise, the staleness of the air would set in. Some baking soda before vacuuming the carpet would help. Also, if the windows had an additional sheer curtain, so that you can open the room darkening one during the day and get some natural sunlight while still having privacy would be a nice touch. However, I do get that maintaining a large property like that costs big bucks, and with competition from the time shares in the area and Air BnBs, the revenue probably just isn't coming in to update. The decor looks like it goes back to the 70's. A bit more attention to vacuuming under and behind the furniture after guests is needed. I was looking for an item I dropped and saw a cap gun cap, a paper plate, an empty water bottle, and other fuzz in general that was gross. Didn't walk around in my bare feet, as I didn't expect 5 star level. The location cannot be beat. You are 15 - 20 minutes away from Stroudsburg or Shawnee, places to hike, the Falls, there are plenty of eateries, local novelty establishments, gas stations, and places of worship, etc. nearby. What they may not be able to manage on updating, they can make up for in cleanliness, and as I said , service was very friendly.
