In an effort to 'get to know' Best Western, I have reserved a couple of locations throughout this month. This, so far may have been the 2nd to worst. Worst being- Towson Maryland Best Western, which I plan to review. The hotel is conveniently located off of i-80 if you are traveling towards the Delaware Water Gap. It is literally... More

The rooms are updated. The lobby and business center are being renovated the end of the year. The hotel is a good place to stay for business. The night staff person was very helpful and friendly. She went out of her way to help you!

a bit spooky pulling in kinda empty , for a saturday in summer! The abandoned, former HoJO resturant never made the Dunkin Doughnuts renovation, and neither did the drained pool. but for a quick nights rest it was fine. Very clean, no bugs, a patio to smoke on (the hotel is 100% no smoking) and upper floor high ceilings. 32"... More

Night desk clerk was very friendly. The room, however, was in terrible need of updating-funky smell, stains on the carpet and chairs, and didn't feel comfortable sleeping in bed without clothes on. I booked for two nights but after the first night my key wouldn't work. The front desk said I had checked out?!? We finally got into the room... More

We stopped here on our drive to New York city because it was raining and getting dark. The price was right, and the hotel itself, was very nice. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was coffee tea and juice available in the lobby at all times. In the morning there was a nice area to have... More

Exit 37 off Rt 80, very easy on and off the highway and into the comfortable bed in minutes. Quick checkin, updated room and comp breakfast allowed me to pull off the highway, rest and get going again in no time. No complaints here.

Particularly happy with microwave and fridge in room as I was travelling for a dog show and needed to bring stuff that needed to be kept cold. was however very disturbed when at 11PM a man walked into my room and scared us!! Evidently the hotel double booked my room!!... More

I stayed at this Best Western with a group of 12 teens and 3 adults, using 4 rooms. Only 1 of the rooms was less than satisfactory (smell of cigarettes and air conditioner that did not work properly). We noticed some stains on the sheets. The rest of the rooms were very nice. Lots of counter space in the bathrooms... More
