Great people, great place!
Location in and out was easy
Cool area and comfortable room.
Mildew super bad... cant breathe.
Terrible and extremely overpriced
Awful
It was okay
Bed bugs
Definitely start deep cleaning the smoking rooms smells like mildew when cleaning please keep doors open so you can air the rooms out
They need firing the rooms
Room was ok. The staff members were very friendly. Note that the hotel doesn’t serve breakfast even though it’s advertised on Expedia. Don’t spend extra money in upgrading your room to get breakfast. Expedia has been falsely advertising this for years and will not refund your money.
Perfect for a one night stay.
We were in the area to day hike on the Appalachian trail. We chose the Value Inn because of the outdoor pool ( 95 degree temperatures) The bed was comfortable , air conditioning was appreciated, as was the hot water in the shower. There were no toiletries in the bathroom as stated in the website ad with the exception of a very thin bar of soap. Fortunately we brought our own. The coffee in the office was appreciated.
The owners were very nice
Okay nothing to write home about.
You get what you pay for I guess. Just very old and super basic.
See picture of occupants of the room. We were told "bugs are normal" - not for this guy, not for the price we paid......
The management was very prompt and very accommodating. The facility is old but fully functional. Cleanliness was not an issue until i noticed the underside of the coverlet which was less than ideal. Although checkout time was 10a.m., the management stated that i would not be charged if I stayed till 11. This proved not to be an issue.
Hotel is clean but poorly maintained. Thinhmgs like carpeting, faucets, etc.
Excellent value and comfort
We were looking for a last-minute room because bad weather was disrupting our camping trip. This place was extremely reasonably-priced and in the heart of lots of Poconos activities. The room was spotless and very comfortable; we were even given a free upgrade by the friendly owners. Would definitely stay here again.
Friendly staff and clean facility
Courtesy & kindness of the employee that welcomed me.
Musty or moldy smells, are pervasive in the room
Rather musty in the room… Probably moles from the air conditioner, not being cleaned.
Coffee is great
Quiet Cute and clean
not clean at all for the price i paid i fell scammed
Foul smu
Pool :)
Easy to find convenient location opposite small Mall
I walked in to the room pulled the sheets and there was blood on the sheets I have to rent another hotel to spend the night it was very disgusting
Rooms was not clean, pool was not clean, and online offered breakfast, there was no breakfast
It is what it is
Room was clean but very outdated. Needs a lot of cosmetic repairs. Bathroom door was locked when we arrived and we had to take the doorknob apart to unlock it. Room is very small and there’s no phone. Staff was very pleasant. It wasn’t the best room ever but again, it was clean and that’s what is most appreciated.
Anna and Ray were most Gracious and helpful owners. From Mark and Ray
Great location, just very dated, and worn.
The Staff was friendly. The room was so dated and the headboard had so much dust you could tell it had not been cleaned in years. There was an electrical extension screwed on to the nightstand. The carpet on the floor was old and worn. And when i put my hairbrush on the bathroom shelf, the whole shelf fell off the wall.
The room was clean.
The smell that sticks.
The room was dire. Dingy, exposed rotting wood, peeling wallpaper that was put over what likely should have been demolished. It was semi-clean. But when you lift up the bed and it looks like someone had been murdered there; along with the horrendous smell of the room. I cannot recommend anyone stay here under any circumstances. I got my sleeping bag from my car and slept on the comforter. I put my bag of clothes back in my car because I was worried about the smell.. I kept my backpack in the room and that still stinks. It's not worth saving $30 to stay here. Learned a valuable lesson.
It was horrible soon as you walked in it smelled like freaking mold,tried sleeping with my shirt over my nose, hurt my chest, couldn't wait to get out, not sure who are the Authoritys in this area to take care of this situation ,will never stay or recommend
I liked the spacious room it was comfortable and worth the money I paid. Nothing I did not like.
Disgusting! Do not book !
Absolutely horrible ! Very dirty. Old. Smelly. Looks like hookers use this for just that. Please do not take your children there ! They will not refund any money for any reason. If you cancel they will charge you for two nights even if your only booked for one. We left. Did not stay longer than 5 minutes. My family’s safely and health is not worth it. Any review leaving positive reviews must had sold their soul to the devil! Horrible. Should be closed down!
The staff was wonderful. The internet was down because of a lightning strike and they did everything within their power to accommodate me. The room was much cleaner and nicer than I expected. Terrific value.
There was an awful smell in the room. They should fix the humidity in walls!
It was a great stay all but the nudity outside in the pool. Was not able to Enjoy the pool from the all of improper nudity shown by guest.
The owner (Ray) was extremely helpful and friendly. The property,unlike many of the reviews on line is a pleasure to stay in. It is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. I would always stay there again. Would totally recommend
The bed and linens were comfortable but the room was a little musty/mildewy. However the room rate was very reasonable.
Don’t stay here if you have a problem with mold!
We got in late, when we got to the room it smelled of mildew. We used the toilet once & noticed that it was leaking at the base. We were tired & went to sleep. Our daughter, who is allergic to mold & mildew, slept in the bed away from the bathroom, which really smelled bad, we kept the door closed & the fan on. In the morning, we told them about these problems. They upgraded our room to a larger room with bigger beds. The first thing we did was go in the bathroom, my daughter agreed that it smelled fine. While my husband was getting ready for bed a few hours later, he noticed the mold above the mirror. Again we slept with the door closed & the fan on. In the morning, we noticed mold above the window. We were glad to leave & will not return.
This was the only place available. the room was damp and smelled. It was $200 dollars for a place called the Value Inn. Definite not a value!
Not comfy
Old and musty smell in room . Out of date appliances with knobs not electric buttons . Bugs in bed think they were little mites . 2 days stay they only cleaned after I left . No breakfast as advertised. Lock on door was not working well . Would not recommend at all . Get with this century . Lol
Nice staff !! A little smelly but nice place
No value
There was no value for the price I was charged for the one night stay. I paid for a four star room that was not worth one star.
Clean rooms & friendly staff.
I have stayed here multiple time. Its a clean room, friendly and helpful staff. Convienient to local amenities and just a few miles off the highway. Highly recommend if your just looking for a clean room for the night while your out an about during the day.
They keep my money too and i didnt stay
The picture looks nothing like the property It is not a hotel it’s an inn I could have stay in an inn for $70- $80 not $206
Too many bugs and the lady ana is very rude. Speak with her husband ray for all your needs
The property is extremely out dated & nasty. The rooms were musty & the carpet felt gross. I rented 2 rms & had to buy sheets, air freshner, plugins & disinfectant. The decor did not match, the furniture was old. The front desk staff were very pleasant but unfortunately it did not make up for the condition of the rooms.
The hotel needs each room renovated. It's old, smelly and rusty. The first room that I had a pungent smell and smelled like urine. Like it was embedded in the mattress or carpet. My room got changed but that smelled too. Not like the first but it smelled. The mattress that I had to sleep on was TERRIBLE! Cheap, hard mattress. I tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep much. The reviews did say that the rooms were dissatisfying but I thought they were over-exaggerating like some people do but nope, they were spot on. I am a simple person who does not require a lot when it comes to rooms but this place is subpar. The owner needs to take pride in his property and do better and fix it up. It isn't acceptable. Does not matter if a guest is staying 4 hours or 3 nights, they want to feel comfortable in a clean room, presentable room.
The property was not what I expected at all. Very outdated and the smell was awful. The owner said it’s because of humidity and to turn on the air conditioner but that didn’t help at all. I had to buy sheets blankets and pillows because we wouldn’t sleep on that stuff. When we pulled the sheets back there was a bug under the sheets. And a huge spider in the shower.
mold mildew room smell ruined stay
Stank a** place
This stay was horrible. I t know for a fact they racist. Would never stay here again. Lady asking stupid questions. Room smelled like mold and ciggerettes but u can’t smoke in the room 😂. I’m just over this place it’s nasty.
Loved how parking was right in front of my room.
Its what you pay for thats about it no more to say
Gentlemen who checked us in and out was very kind and accommodating. At checkout, he remembered that we had a wedding and asked about our time in the poconos. This was a convenient location near the resort where the wedding was and I'd stay again.
Stayed in a smoking room, felt like i was in 1978. Wallpaper peeling everywhere. Absolutely nothing wiped down, toilet had poop underneath the lid. Tv worked when it wanted to, had to unplug it multiple times to re set it. The sheets and pillow cases were never changed. This is my first time ever writing a review and this will be the last time i stay here. For a 100.00 a night, the owners should be embarrassed. Go 15 minutes away and spend the extra 50.00.
I had a poor experience in this hotel. Don't go. Go somewhere else.
Decent & clean place for a decent price
A basic hotel that has a good price for a nights rest. Clean room, although a bit dated. Staff was very friendly and gracious. If you need a room for the night, this would be a good choice.
Boring roadside dump . Tytttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Location and peaceful. Location and peaceful Location and peaceful
The hotel was desl
room was dated...no smoke detector in room, was missing...bathroom was moldy and t.v. sound didnt work...but what would i expect from a 99.00 room...room couldve been better cleaned...stains on walls, chairs , at least the towels were clean and white...
Bad experience
Based on the pictures the hotel seemed nice. However, once we got there it was a completely different story..... The room smelled like cigarettes, the wallpaper was coming off, the sheets were stained, the pillow cases too, the bathroom was tiny, rust all over. This hotel was probably great 50 years ago but no renovations were probably done since... We seriously considered leaving and losing the money but we decided to suck it up sleep and leave first thing in the morning
My husband and I love the Jaccuzzi room and how accommodating the staff is. Value Inn became our favorite hotel to go to on the weekends over all the other hotels in East Stroudsburg
The parking lot had lots of room to store my Truck- smart trailer w/ Harley Motorcycle. We were given the Room that was requested. Any thing we need the Manger was on the spot. The swimming Pool was clean warm water. Glad the sun shine helped. The car of David had the boat on top of his roof was secured and we did our own 15 mile river trip. The Value inn Manager said good place for dinner was the big -A- Restaurant ! He was right ! The steak-bake pot- veg and french onion soup - super. Every morning the value inn had coffee bun to offer the guest. The room TV. was great to see shows. some day i would enjoy going back to the value inn. Nancy David Stevens.
Clean room, no issues, no complaints!! Convenient location Would stay again!!
Not Happy
Very disappointed was very dirty. Rug very worn, musty smell, stained towel.
Crack motels are cleaner .. I couldn't even get the door lock to work and the smell when you walked in was deplorable
Kool pool bad room it was dorty sheets and couch were not clean didint stay the night
Was happy to be accommodated at a very late hour, but was not at all impressed with the condition of the room. Mattress was thin and hard and there was only 1 thin pillow per each side of the bed. For the cost of the room, I didn't feel as I was getting my bang for the buck.
Granted, this was the cheapest place in the area to stay. However the rooms were not cleaned. If Expedia lets me post pictures I have one of black mold in the bathroom, was was also stained and extremely tiny.
Condemnation
I never entered the room , there was a disgruntled customer who advised me to find another place to stay . Do I requested staff to show me the room . The room was hideous , was not fit for man are beast . Filthy is another word to define it . Stinch beyond belief . I advised the staff of Value Inn that we were not stay here under these conditions . I immediately contacted Hotels.com to inform them of the harsh conditions that exist at this premises . The Value Inn , will never get my business ever in this lifetime ... Shut it Down !!!
Last min booking. Staff was very helpful. Thank you
I had to ring the bell, then call 2 phone numbers to alert the owners who were not on site that I had arrived. They came quickly but it was nerve-racking when they were not there at first.The proprietor and his wife were very nice and helpful.
Had bedbug in the bed.............. Please I want my money back for that night still ichy
Friendly staff ! Room was very clean. Hotel is very conveniently located.
Allrite & Reasonable.
Check-in at desk...All there are Very Friendly & Attentive & Welcoming. Old Motel/Hotel though we'll keep condition..thin walls though. Pool & Front door parking.
4.5 I would rate this stay
The stay was nice and comfortable.The staff was very nice and friendly and polite,and very honest I really liked that alot. When the smoking rooms aren't being occupied or filled I think they should send a cleaning crew for the rugs to be cleaned so u dont have the smell of a thousand old men smoking cigars there.But other than that everything went well for us.We would definitely stay again but in a non smoking room.
Customer service was friendly and check in/out was quick. Plenty of parking. Room was clean, the air conditioner worked well and we had a new flatscreen TV. Bed should have had 2 more pillows, only had 2 small very soft pillows.
Hard beds
My room didn’t even have a window. Bed was hard as a rock
Worst holtel
I killed 3 roaches in the roam the bathroom was so dirty the rugs extremely stained the room smelled bad
Room very clean , rapid check in, courteous staff. The hotel was very clean and very conveniently located.
Just a little moldy smell Then the smell went away
The air conditioner was less than adequate. The pool was old but nice. Room was old and musty smelling
I been staying at this hotel for about 19 yrs. And it has change alot its nice , the only bad thing is the bed and pillows need to change better pillows and better mattress the rest is fine. Nice staff
I was able to park right in front of my room. Room was old. Bathroom sink was broken. The faucet was broken but workable. Since we just stayed one night I didn’t complain to the front desk. Found bugs in the room. We were all disgusted to walk barefoot thinking we will catch something. Thank goodness it was only one night. Wouldn’t be able to stay there another night. This is practically an emergency hotel.
Terrible stay
Tiles in the bathroom near shower was broken. door trim was rotten at bottom near bathroom. Ceiling in bathroom had mold. Electrical outlet loose wires in area were couch was. Smells. Day 1 our room never got clean or Garbage taken out. Went to office to tell them they told me here’s a bag you can dump it yourself. There was nobody to clean after 3 o’clock. Apparently our room got forgotten to be clean and beds made.
Never Agsin
Place was very outdated. Bathroom ceiling caved in when we shut the door. Although sheets appeared clean we slept in our clothes and drove home at 6 am instead of using the shower and eating anything in the 2x2 ‘lobby’ / front desK. Never ever again.
The room smell. It had a stain on the rug i had no idea what it was. Everything looked dirty. It was way to expensive for what i got. I really could have stayed in a better hotel. This was like a dirty motel. Just gross
Liked the proximity to our destination and the pool. We got to see local fireworks. The owners are wonderful!
The only good thing about the property was the location because it was close to were I was heading. That's about the only good thing because everything else about it was terrible. The place had a terrible smell. The "continental" breakfast was just a few old bagels,and a nasty expired cream cheese. There isn't even a proper place to sit and eat your breakfast. It's just a small table that they had in front of the check in desk.
Okay for price.
I think for the nightly rate it should be a little more updated. Please start with electronic door locks and new beds.
Never saw a live person at check in. Check in was done over the phone.
