A property in desperate need of renovation, a last resort

Review of Value Inn
2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 Aug 2018
This motel is conveniently located close to Bushkill Falls, a good place to visit. Due to work commitments we booked only a few days before and this was one of the only options available. Upon check in I was asked if either my son or I smoked. The room smelled like smoke which made the check-in instruction not to smoke all the more ironic.

The bathroom had a shower curtain that had mildew and the bathroom smelled like it. This is a room that you would be advised to wear shower sandals in. All in all, it was a place to stay and it served its purpose but we could not wait to check out and leave as soon as possible.

All in all, the room was adequate but the quality of the property is not commensurate with the cost of the room: If you need a place near Bushkill Falls, it is an option, though not the best option.
Date of stay: August 2018
Room Tip: Rooms smell like smoke, bring air freshener or a candle.

Reviewed 29 June 2018 via mobile

My family and I stayed in this motel for 5 days during our vacation to marshalls creek and the Indian museum and I was extremely happy with the service and ammentities offered here. For a steal of a price we still had access to the picnic area with BBQ, use of the volleyball net a basketball court and the pool area which was my personal favorite was sparking clean and a beautiful place to relax while the kids play. There was Something to do for each of my kids who can get bored easy! The room was very clean, we had a pull out sofa plus two beds so there was lots of sleeping space. The Wifi and tv worked well. The complimentary breakfast was wonderful! Bagels, pastries, cereal, coffee, juices. The staff is so friendly and accommodating they extended our check out 1 hour free of charge!! It's less than 5 minutes from a laundrymat which was very helpful. There's tons of things to do here and the woman at the front desk gave us lots of pamphlets to nearby restaurants, a go cart and paintball place my sons enjoyed. A local winery for adults was also nearby and a long list of museums. I will certainly be coming back to visit more local museums and I will definitely be staying here again with my family when we come back to the Poconos!

I visit this motel annually in early June (this week) to fly fish the surrounding streams. The staff is very friendly and conscientious. The rooms are clean, neat and quiet. If you fly fisherman are thinking reasonable accommodations for this area of the Poconos you may want to consider this establishment.

Stayed there 6/2/18, everything was very good. The room was nice, with a microwave and a refrigerator. The inn grounds are spacious. It was very quiet and right on the main strip close to all attractions. It was modestly priced too. Would definitely stay there again.

I would highly recommend this place for everyone. Family, friends solo etc. The owner is very attentive and takes good care of you. We had an excellent time staying there and would visit again if time comes.

The people on check-in were very nice. The sheets were clean. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was adequately clean. That's the positives.

This Inn, in its heyday was probably very nice. It's a quaint little motor lodge. But it's years past in decor and maintenance. There were ugly rotted wood door frames, pieces of the dry wall missing, the shower curtain looked 20 years old and the hook holes were ripped, the door knob to the bathroom hung because it just needed to be screwed together. It really just needed human attention and a screwdriver. The sofa and the floor had not been properly cleaned- as there was an obvious buildup of dust. There were exposed wires and holes in the drywall. If one bought a house in this condition it would be titled "a real fixer upper".

Breakfast included was laughable. There were two dry cereals to choose from. Prepackaged danishes and bagels. The cream cheese was a block of foil covered cream cheese with the foil peeled back and a knife stuck in it. It grossed us out. We didn't eat there and went to Dunkin Donuts for a sanitary and nice breakfast.

It's very obvious from the condition of this motel that the owner just DOESN'T CARE. The total cost with tax for us was $140. We only chose this place because it was the only motel available for a reasonable price on the particular weekend we needed. Never again.

With a little reinvestment of the money they make and a handyman they could have a really cute and nice motel. Shabby and sorely neglected are what I would use to describe Value Inn.

Unless you are desperate- find another motel.
