Hotels in Poconos, PA

I picked this Hotel for it's closeness to Camelback ski resort and it's pet friendly status. I had read some unfavorable reviews about this place but I can say that my experience was positive.The room I stayed in had somewhat beat up furniture,( this could be because I was in the dog section of the resort)but the room was clean and the beds comfortable. The food was overpriced but good. The Staff was friendly and helpful. Generally I was happy with my stay at the Chateau, not as fancy as the name would imply but a good stay.

This is a nice old quaint inn. We stayed in winter so did not experience golf course, etc. Chose it because of proximity to Camelback - wasn't as close as we expected, but still fine. Kids loved exploring the halls and rooms on the lobby and basement. There's an arcade to keep them amused. Indoor pool was freezing cold, would have loved a hot tub in the hotel/pool area especially for after skiing. Had a nice dinner in the Exchange restaurant, and breakfast buffet in the nice sunny "porch" room was nice, too. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. It is an older building, so the insulation and sound-proof-ness leave a lot to be desired and floors can be creaky. Both nights we were woken up by kids in the hall and stairwell and by post-wedding revelers. Looked like they had just gotten new carpets; noticed a lot of fuzz around which made it look less clean than it probably was. All in all we enjoyed staying there and would do so again.

Hard to believe that there are no reviews about this resort here on Travel online site that are close to "recent" vintage! Our stay was in October, 2009 for 3 days, mid week, as we do our best to visit when the leaves are changing color and when the children are still in school. This is best done by planning way ahead. We booked in February and rolled the dice! We got lucky and the weather cooperated. But we missed the best color by 1 week. My advice- take the chance. Otherwise, this place fills up and you must tolerate children. Q- Are the rooms all so small? Ans- yes! At least every room that I could peek inside if while housekeeping was working on it; Q- is the breakfast any good? Ans- yes, good and pricey! Better alternatives can be had but you must drive at least 10 minutes away down the mountain and into the traffic back in or near Bushkill Area. Q- did your room have a view? Ans- no! We were disappointed. That view of the review is not readily available. Too bad. I t looked great on-line. Me thinks that these views are held in reserve for the privileged few just in case they decide at the last minute to visit. I even tried the old show the $* trick at check-in but it din't work. Maybe a $* bill would work? Q- Would I stay here again? Ans- yes. I love the location. I especially enjoy the porch and the views off the porch. I was mad at myself for missing the fall foliage show. Do you homework and book ahead. Fall is THE popular time to visit the poconos. This place has "old" charm and a fabulous location. None better.

Rooms were very clean and above standard. Casino has complimentary beverages but it was hard to get one because there were not a lot of servers on the floor. Even when it was not crowded. The food at the restaurants we visited were very good. We used the spa services and they were excellent. Relaxing and professional.

The room seemed clean but the sheets were dirty. Make sure the comforters & sheets are clean when you get to your room. The pool was heated the 2nd day & I stayed for 5 days it was okay. Bathroom needs a makeover but for the money it was actually what I expected. Beds were comfortable after I had clean sheets. If your just looking for a place to get away and just relax like swim and use the gym it's okay. If you're looking for luxury, forget it. Overall I gave it a 3. Oh unless you are in the lobby or the pool you wont get free wifi. We never got it in our room.

My wife and I stayed in the lakeside Villa #222. We really enjoyed the fact that is was a stand-alone cottage with a private entrance and balcony. We found the room extremely clean and comfortable on the inside. However, the outside area is obviously overlooked. While outside on the balcony you will see cigarette butts everywhere along the hedge line. Other garbage was also lying on the ground all around the side and rear of the cottage. That was our only complaint. We loved the food, entertainment, inside pool and very tranquil whirlpool area. We hope to make it back later in the year!!
