Paoli Hotel Deals
"Really a friendly and clean hotel (both bathroom and bedroom). Breakfast was very good, too! Was able to park near the building. I liked the amenities and the room temperature was easy to adjust."
"My toilet stopped up upon arrival. They came up quickly to look at it while I was at my meeting. When I returned the toilet had not been fully flushed. It did work properly when I flushed it and for my stay. The elevator was making sounds and made me a bit nervous. I am sure there are not a lot of gluten free guests, but some gluten free oatmeal or muffins would be a great addition to the breakfast selection."
"It was a good location and good price. Very outdated and dingy and dirty floors and walls etc. was fine for a quick overnight stay"
