Only stayed for 2 nights, thankfully. The first night was fine. The 2nd night sounded like a party was going on or something! Loud voices and running up and down outside the room! And this was at 11:45pm! I guess no one has any common courtesy for others around here. The price was good but now I know why. The room smelled when we walked. Had to walk around other people sitting outside their rooms smoking. Not what I want to walk through. I don't recommend this hotel.
There were some small sanitation issues but other then that I would have given a 5STAR all around. The pool is great for both kids and adults. The pool didn't seem to be cleaned regularly in the mornings. That was the only issue. They also have a in house place to wash and dry cloths! Customer service was the best. All the staff were wonderful Rooms: The rooms are ok. The beds weren't to my liking because I have health issues but my kids liked the beds. Nearby activities: This is a busy area. Not ideal for walking at all. A vehicle is a definate need. Safety: I would give Safety a 10! Great safety from being in a safe area all the way to no slip showering. We felt safe completely on all aspects during our stay.
We have been staying at the Econolodge in Shamokin Dam, PA for years on and off. We were there on 7/20/23 through 7/22/23. We had several rooms booked. The hotel has gone downhill since we stayed there in 2019! The light in the bathroom kept flickering, lights went out totally for a few seconds in all our rooms on Saturday morning, no hair dryers/ironing boards or irons in the room. Had to request them. Were told to return them to the office when we checked out. How tacky! We left them in the room. Not walking to the office carrying them! We were also told we would have 4 rooms next to each other. That did not happen because people that live at the hotel and have been there since March, and were right in the middle of the block of rooms. We had to be quiet sitting outside because they had 2 babies. We ended up moving our chairs but shouldn't have to. We were just talking in normal tones. We will not be staying there again! What a disappointment!
The hotel advertises they have in room coffee pots, hair dryers and irons, and ironing boards. They don't. When calling the front desk, if you can get someone to answer, you are told they have them, but you have to request them as they don't put them in the rooms. Really? There must be a lot of theft of those items up here! The beds are very firm. It's too firm for me, but that's a personal preference. They have a sign at the front desk that says all of their rooms have gone to non-smoking. That's great, but the towels smelled like stale cigarettes. Check out is 11 am. We reserved the hotel room for 2 days. We went out that afternoon and upon our return found our room keys didn't work. The front desk was happy to reprogram them. I didn't realize I needed to go each day of my stay to get my keys reprogrammed. Very inconvenient. Especially in the cold rainy weather. I had to catch a cleaning person with a cart to get a new towel, and the guy apologized profusely because he did not speak English and had no idea what I wanted. I had to point to a towel to get one. This one smelled freshly laundered and was much softer. Upon opening the mini fridge to store some drinks, I found a used food wrapper and crumbs of some description on the bottom of the fridge. On a positive note, the employees are very friendly and accommodating. The microwave worked well and was clean. The room itself was clean, and the ac/heater worked perfectly. It's not what I expected in a hotel, but it wasn't a horrible stay for the price. If you are looking for a bare-bones budget hotel, this is the place! Rooms: Clean.
Took 3 rooms for our family for a night. Glad it was only 1 night at this old motel. The 1st floor rooms smelled strongly of dog, and smoke. Desperately need new flooring. The bed creaked loudly. Rooms are decent size. Avoid rooms closer to highway noise. Never found breakfast, went to Perkins down the road.Rooms: 2/5
Noise all night long! Never got a wink of sleep! Very disappointed! Mentioned it to the clerk at the main desk and said he would look at the camera as I checked out. Fixtures were in bad shape and walls could use some fresh paint!Rooms: 2/5
We drove up from Jersey for a show at the local Winery. The man at the front desk let us check in 1.5hrs early which allowed us to get to the Winery and get good seats. Room was clean....place was quiet. Good experience.Rooms: 4/5
