Find the Cheap Hope Hotels

My husband and I took our 3.5 yo daughter to Shawnee this past weekend and had the most wonderful experience. We lucked out with great weather and kicked off our weekend with a river trip with stunning views and good company. The river really is a peaceful place. We followed it up with a visit to the brewery, which absolutely exceeded expectations (and we've been to A LOT of breweries). My daughter especially loved the live music. She danced for an hour! We sugared her up and stayed up late for the Stargazing tour, which she absolutely loved. She ended up falling asleep, but we enjoyed it all the same. The next morning, after a relaxing breakfast in the River Room, we drove about 15 minutes and hiked around Bushkill Falls. It was stunning, and our daughter had a blast! (get there early on the weekends). We bopped around Main Street, and then headed back for a historic tram tour + candle making at Shawnee Inn. It was so interesting to see different parts of the property and my daughter couldn't wait to give her candle to Nana. We indulged at the Gem & Keystone (get the rhubarb + berry crumble), and then enjoyed some family golf on the Par 3 course. Of course, we ended up back at the brewery (duh) and enjoyed more live music. We even ordered a pizza (even though we already ate because it's just that good). We met so many fun people - employees and guests - and could have stayed longer. We barely spent any time in our room, as it should be and we can't wait to return.

This was a horrible experience. The customers in the lounge used profanity continuously, and the bartender did nothing allowing this behavior to continue. The beer was luke warm. Needless to say we left and went up the road to Shawnee for food, cocktails, and better clientele. The halls and rooms smelled. The walls between the rooms allowed you to hear the conversations in the next room clear as if the people were in your room. TV's were blazing until 1:00AM. We stayed 1 night and left at 5AM the next morning.

Okay, relatively comfortable!

The room is great! Love the space. But the soundproofing is horrible. I’m not one to complain about normal hotel room noises but our room is actually shaking. It sounds like a herd of elephants are running around in the room above us. And I don’t mean occasionally I mean the whole time I’m sitting here. I understand if there are little kids, but this is ridiculous. They must be jumping off the furniture. And the hotel can’t be built very well if it’s this loud. For the cost I expect better. I would have given 5 stars without noise.

Ok as a last resort. There was nothing else available so we stayed here for one night with 2 adults, 3 kids. Room was tiny and dark. No table to eat. The bathroom was right next to one of the beds and the toilet was only a few feet away from my husbands head as he slept ick. Bathroom and shower were very small. Some fast food, stores nearby. Very overpriced!!
