This is a mixed review because I was both disappointed and yet did enjoy my stay. I was surprised at how run down and outdated this resort became since I had stayed here about 7 years prior and was so impressed that they had so much happening in one place. The indoor pool and the additional indoor spa-like pool are now broken down and closed. They have a nice outdoor swimming pool. The outdoor courtyard is nice, a few different sitting areas and corn hole game. The restaurants are pretty good. Close to the casino and a free shuttle to take you back and forth. They have a club. The 2 bars had a good crowd, awesome bartenders, happy hour and live music. Nice complimentary hot breakfast. Staff here is exceptionally hospitable however they seem overwhelmed and short staffed . The room was outdated with chipped paint on the balcony and everywhere. Outlets didn’t work on one side of the room, and broken dresser drawer. Location is great! Along side a river with a walking bridge. 5 minute drive to 7 tubs waterfalls . Overall, it’s a good place with good people. It does need a renovation though.

This place has so much potential because of the location, but it is extremely run down and falling apart. The whole place smells like mildew, the beds and pillows were extremely old and uncomfortable . I would never stay here again unless they fully renovated.

I wanted this to be great but it fell very short! I’m sure it was amazing before and so I’ve heard by friends who stayed there when they were at nearby colleges many years ago. But today…the only thing that seemed clean or nice was the bed. Not impressed with the grounds or the maintenance of the building or rooms. Elevator buttons were broke and the hallways smelled of smoke and mildew. It has this beautiful view which you only get to see from the continental breakfast spot but is overgrown with trees/weeds and is not well maintained. It COULD be spectacular. The pictures listed are photoshopped or from its prior existence for sure. The indoor pool was closed. The outdoor pool is small and was overcrowded. And I thought it was more of a boutique hotel or resort area but it fell really short. It’s like it was flooded at some point or its management gave up on it. The rooms could cost more if they were fixed up and if the grounds were awesome; rock and mulch and manicured plants and better continental breakfast would be a good start. It’s trashy right now; ash trays offered everywhere and a greasy griddle sitting on a ledge outside of a room and on the walk. Fire alarms going off in individual rooms. Can’t tell if people live there or if it’s meant to be a hotel. Very confusing! My heart wanted to love it and wanted this to be nice. It’s so close to a great natural swim area and to rickets glen. Fix it up! Make it amazing again! Wilkes Barre needs you.

El lugar es limpio y acogedor, realmente de acuerdo a las fotografías tenías mayor expectativas, no me agradó que el día de mi retiro yo pagué un extra para salir más tarde, pero iban a cada rato a tocarme la puerta, no fue nada grato. Los pasillos son angosto por lo que cualquier ruido se escucha dentro de la habitación. La gente del restaurante muy amables y serviciales, no tengo quejas lo hacen muy bien.
