We wanted a downtown budget hotel and in spite of negative reviews found no other options. To our surprise we found friendly staff and a large well furnished room; carpeted, wall papered, comfortable bed, a desk with chair for computer, excellent wifi, round table with two chairs, tv, dresser, small clean bathroom, large bathroom vanity, large clothes rack with wooden hangers, easy to use safe box and everything worked. Bedding and towels are old but clean (a few stains and holes but not dirty). Halls, parking, breakfast room , can be cleaner, but it was clean enough for us. The area where the hotel seats is under construction, some buildings being demolished and others built. We found it safe and had a great time in Scranton. No problem going back if need be but wish there were more options downtown for budget travelers. Would recommend if friend definitely needed a budget hotel downtown.

Went into Scranton for the night with friends and planned on staying here. When we arrived, the area the hotel was in looked like a cross between a ghost town and a war zone. Construction everywhere and not a soul to be seen. The hotel lobby smelled horrible and couple of rooms with window shades we looked into looked dirty, cramped and small. A few of the doors had serious dents in them. White standing in the parking lot we were circled a few times by a couple of people in a car that seemingly has suspect motives. That combined with the fact that almost every other hotel in Scranton was booked full or had very few rooms open and we were seemingly going to be the only guests staying there that night, we rethought our plan. Needless to say we canceled our reservation and went elsewhere. There was also no one inside when we arrived to help us out, however we did only spend about thirty seconds in the lobby.

I've stayed at this hotel a few times. Its really more of a motel actually. I live in NJ. I'll occasionally go out to Scranton for the day and then spend the night. I have a few friends that live there so we meet up at one of the bars at night and during the day I go to the mall or watch the steam trains. Its good for a change of scenery. Since I don't spend pratically any time in the hotel when I'm there this place is fine. Its basically a room and a bed and a bathroom, definitely nothing fancy, but for the price its good. As far as recommending it, it really depends. If you think you're going to spend a lot of time at the hotel then no I wouldn't recommend it. If you just need a place to sleep though it is fine, at least I've always felt so.

We spent the night in this motel on our way up to visit family in Vermont. It was perfectly adequate for what we paid. You can't beat the location, right in downtown Scranton, and it was a short drive (probably a ten-minute walk) to a great coffee shop for breakfast.

The motel is old and rundown, but the area seems pretty safe. The shower was old and cracked. Make sure you wear shoes the whole time :) The beds were fairly comfortable and there was a TV in the room. Not much noise from the road or the other rooms.
