Not a fan. Won’t return.

Overall, our experience with this property was short and to the point. We got in around 10pm and checked out the next morning, as we were heading to Dorney Park. Really appreciated the short distance to Dorney! That unfortunately was probably the only positive aspect to our stay. This hotel was probably one of the lowest quality/ worst HIE I’ve ever stayed in. We were only given 2 bath towels for a double queen room, that’s crazy! Those towels were also very thin and poor quality. I think Dollar Tree has better towels than this property! The room smelled like a cheap cherry car air freshener. The carpets were stained, the bathroom was grungy, and the ceiling was peeling in the room. I wish I would have taken pictures. You could tell it was an older hotel that was renovated with never furnishings. However; it needs another refresh desperately. The aircon for the room was also very frustrating. I hate the Verdant thermostats. They make it so difficult to get the room cold with the motion sensor and stripped down settings. We struggled getting comfortable- it was either blowing full force on high (even with Low setting on) or not running at all. It wouldn’t let us run the ran by itself for background noise. Overall, the cons outweighed the pros for me. Checkout was at 11, the front desk associate graciously gave us an 11:30 checkout, but failed to notify housekeeping. We had a DND on the door and housekeeping knocked multiple times at 11:10am. Not a big deal.

Good room to make great memories

Check-in was smooth, and the gentlemen was kind! No problem securing a Luggage cart. Breakfast was simple, rooms were nice. Good amount of storage Only nitpick would be attention to detail when cleaning. The showerhead had a lot of soupscum, and there was crushed candies in the carpet. There are signs indicating a $300 charge if smoking of any kind is done in the rooms which I greatly appreciate. That being said, theres always people that don't care. First night there from midnight-3am there was a slight smell of weed. Likely from the room above. Overall, we would stay again and would recommend!
