Days Inn Scranton PA

Booked this room when we went skiing since it was near Elk Mountain. I went online, found a place with a pool and was surprised at how rasonable the rate was, click ok done. Never again. This place is filthy. At first it just seemed outdated however as soon as we got into the elevator we saw smears and smudges… yuck. The hallway just looked old, ok, maybe some kids were in the elevator, maybe the room is ok, it might be dated but maybe it will be clean. Nope. The clock which was not plugged in was covered in dust, and There was even a dust bunny hanging on the wall. We went to check out the pool, you have to get a towel from the desk that is about the size of a hand towel. The pool area was not too bad, old and dated, but the water was cloudy but we went in anyway, came away feeling even grosser, kind of a film…
Back to the room, didn’t want to touch anything and it was too late to find another place. We found old popcorn, pretzels and even a used bandaid on the floor. Yeah, a used band aid. We pulled back the blankets, cranked the heat and slept in our long underwear and sweats so we did not have to touch anything else. When my son tried to plug in his phone the adapter just fell out of the outlet, we had to brace it in there with a bottle so it would not fall out-​hence why the clock was not plugged in. I showered, but my kids didn’t want to, good thing since there was only one towel in a double queen room. We were happy to get out of there in the morning, however we then found a dirty sock on the other side of the bed that was not ours, yuck, I wrapped it in one of the few towels provided.
We went to the so called continental breakfast and decided to skip it, big surprise. I gave the lady at the desk the old sock and have no plans to return.

I had to spend a night in Scranton and I ended up in this hotel. Not sure why I stayed here, especially since in the past I had stayed at much nicer and more expensive hotels.
The hotel has a pool hot tub and small and old gym. The building is old and run down. The hotel is semi easy to get to, but it is not right off the highway like other hotels in the Scranton area.
If I ever have to spend the night in Scranton again (which I do not foresee), I will stay elsewhere.

Stayed here for a wedding in town. It was dirty. Dust and such everywhere. The baseboards of the room looked like they hadn’t actually been cleaned in years. The walls all around both beds were damaged significantly. The bathroom seemed okay, but the two towels in there was totally threadbare and felt like sandpaper. There were several little flies in our room. The beds were lumpy and the pillows were obviously old and had long since lost any real shape.
The lobby was absurdly hot and also dusty. The whole place just felt unclean and not professionally managed. There were taped notes hung up everywhere about what not to do in the rooms, etc.
We honestly considered just driving home after the wedding, and we definitely didn’t stay for the breakfast. If they can’t keep the rooms and lobby clean… well…I wasn’t willing to test their food sanitation. I’d definitely never stay there again.

This place is a complete dump! It is filthy, foul-​smelling, the staff is beyond rude, this place is horrible, just horrible! Please avoid it at all costs! It’s not worth it! I wouldn’t come back here if they paid me! I would have preferred to camp in the woods, it’s that bad! I wouldn’t advise letting your dogs or any pets stay here. I am not even kidding. As stated by others, the parking lot is crazy. While exiting there are huge, gigantic pot-​holes, I’m surprised I didn’t blow a tire! Most of the parking lot pavement is cracked! You will do damage to your vehicle here! It is almost guaranteed! Even if you save $ 40 – 60, you will end up paying $ 500 to repair your vehicle after you stay at this dump. The door mat/​carpet in the front lobby was filthy. Looks as if it’s 20 years old. The terrible smell throughout the «hotel» (as stated by almost all reviewers) is a musty, smoky stench. It especially hit me when I went to the 2^nd floor. The room furniture was totally dated and the air was stagnant and musty and nasty smelling as soon as I walked in the room. I had to turn the air on full blast to tolerate it. There was a missing fixture on the bathtub knob.
I checked in very late around 2:00am. I asked the Gentleman when I checked-​in (who was nicer than the reps I spoke to later in the day upon check-​out) if I could have a late check-​out since I was taking an exam that morning and wanted some rest before I drove 2 hours home. He said this would be fine and agreed to this. Later in the day when I got back to the hotel around 12:00pm, I tried to get into my room but my card key was deactivated. I went to the front desk and they immediately approached me in a rude manner. They asked me if I was staying another night and I said «no» and explained what the Gentleman the night before and I agreed to. They would NOT honor this agreement and the women (One blonde woman who seemed of Eastern European descent and one woman of South Asian Descent (seemed of Indian descent) and both of middle-​age range) were very rude and not willing to understand my situation. The blonde woman offered me two options, either pay $ 10.00 per hour to rest in the room or check-​out immediately. I told her I would just check out immediately. I then said I would just go up to the room, get my things and leave the hotel and premises. Upon entering the room (she reactivated my key) I got a phone call from her on the hotel room phone and she said that «my time was up», «your 5 minutes is up.» I don’t think it was 5 minutes and I expressed to her I was gathering my things and would be down momentarily. She had a very rude tone and spoke at an almost yelling decibel level and nature. I frankly could not believe this abusive, unprofessional and threatening behavior. Please DO NOT stay here if you can avoid it any way. Unless you want to smell like cigarettes, have a horrible room, get treated like garbage and support this unprofessional establishment. I can’t believe this place can pass state inspection and has not been condemned!

It’s one of those things. What do you expect? It’s a Days Inn in a crappy city and cost a minimal amount to stay. It is what it is. The cleanest? No. The worse place I have ever stayed in? No… not by far. If your looking for a place to just sleep the night, cheaply and move on. This is the place. If your looking for a decent play to stay and enjoy… you need to move on. Free WiFi

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I decided to stay here because I was going to ski at elk mountain for 2 days. This was the cheapest place that was kind of close, $ 54 and 30 mins away, everything else was $ 80-​$ 150 and about 5 – 20 mins away. Upon arriving, I got a little confused with their parking lot which is one way only but not really. They have 2 entrances, with the side entrance facing the parking lot, lolwut? When I opened the door, 2 things happened: I was hit with a wall of a complex combination of odors and I stepped into a swamp (it had been raining and their carpet in the hallway was soaked). I trekked through the marsh and passed their green-​gray diseased looking pond that they call a swimming pool and headed to the check in counter. The lady at the front desk was nice and helpful, gave me my key card, and informed me that complimentary breakfast is served every morning. Yeah right, I’m not going to eat or drink anything from this hotel, ever. The lobby smelled terrible, and the elevator to my floor, and the second floor, and the hotel room. I’m pretty sure I asked for a non — smoking room, and the lady confirmed it too, but my room reeked of stale smoke, ashtrays, urine, sweat, mildew and many other odors that my nose couldn’t identify. Just being in the rooms is probably worse than second hand smoking. Although it didn’t feel or smell clean, the room for the most part looked clean. I refused to take a shower there though, and used bottled water from my car to brush my teeth. I think if I used their tap water, my teeth would have rotted off the next day.
Bottom line, I don’t recommend this place unless you really want to save money. Make sure you wash your clothes when you leave to get that terrible odor out of everything.

Stayed for a week in Carbondale area and unfortunately the hotel we were staying at was booked 1 day out of that week so we found the nearest hotel which was Days Inn. Avoid this place if possible!!! I’m a smoker but always request non-​smoking rooms. Not only did our room stink as well as the whole hotel but we also had a bee hive outside our window. It was so out dated and dirty that we didn’t even sleep under the sheets!!! I couldn’t wait to leave this hotel!!! So gross!

Seriously, avoid this hotel.
The hotel is old and dark and… kinda dank. The maroon/​beige color scheme in the halls/​rooms doesn’t help with the darkness. There was a vague smell of old ashtray in the halls, tho thankfully, not in our non-​smoking room.
The mattress in our original room had a 18″ stain on it which (I keep telling myself) was coffee or soda or something non-​bodily-​fluid related. This was only visible because the fitted sheet didn’t fit the bed at all, leaving the mattress (and stain) exposed. They helpfully moved us to a new room (next to the ice machine) with a view of the valley… if you could see past all the bird sh*t on the windows.
And the pool… the pool… my god, the pool. It was grey. Not the physical structure/lining…the water. It was foul. Disgusting. Gross. And there was a ring of mold/​mildew around the pool at the surface of the water. I stayed in the hotel with my 5 year old and, after promising her we’d go swimming en route (before seeing it), was stuck having to take her swimming. After a brief dip in the bathtub-​temperature greywater, we ran back to the room to shower off the funk. It was that gross. I told her it was closed for cleaning (wishful thinking?) the next day, so I wouldn’t have to take her back into it.

Only stay here if your car breaks down.
We only stayed here because all the other local hotels were booked.
It was so old and smelled like smoke.
The pool water was actually green. It looked like something Shrek would swim in. There was no way I was letting my kids near that thing.
While sitting in the lobby a guy went up to the desk to say he lost his key. The women asked him his room number and then gave him another. She never asked him his name or looked at an ID. Anyone can go in there and pick a room to say they lost a key and get in I guess. …Very scary.

I stayed here one night a few Summers ago (when I lived in the area) when my air conditioning broke and I just couldn’t handle the heat.
All I have to say is:
1. The ENTIRE hotel smelled like smoke
2. There was dog sh** (I hope…) behind the TV in my room
Just plain gross.
