7.8/10 Good! (1,126 reviews)
The Woodlands is definitely in a convenient area. About 20 minutes from Scranton, and with plenty of good food options and activities to do within a 5-10 minute radius. The Hotel, however, is very old and has issues. The entire weekend me and my partner stayed there (friday-monday) the wifi in the hotel was broken. Using data within the hotel was incredibly slow for some reason as well (it immediately became fine when we were outside, but inside the room sometimes it felt like we were in a dead zone), which made it hard when we wanted to relax in the room at night. The indoor pool looks and feels like a torture chamber, the water was ice cold and there are no windows, so with it being in the basement it was very unsettling and uncomfortable. We were forced to use the smaller outdoor pool, which had its own problems. The pool area was alright, but the biggest issue was that the small hotel restaurant/bar won't allow you to bring your own food or drinks to the pool area. Of course, this is because they want you to buy their overpriced food and drinks. My annoyance with the restaurant's policies extended to the breakfast as well, which is free, but they don't let you take food back to your room. The staff was good and friendly. Overall, I didn't hate my stay, but I could only recommend this place to people that are not looking to relax in the hotel and only want to go out and do stuff the whole time they are there. If that's not you, I would look elsewhere.
