How could you even list this property as a motel no less hotel and spa. No sign to mark the property. Old rusty outdoor furniture. A dehumidifier was turned on hours after we got there.
.m. The lake was a wetlands with no beach located through the woods across a road. Spa meant a blowup hot tub. . No hot water and a small bottle of unmarked liquid beside the sink.
I will never use your site again. Even the server at a nearby restaurant who gave us directions did not recommend it. We did not stay the second night. It wasn't really a open working property. Please remove it for your reputation.

This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I had reservations for two nights but left early on the first morning.
The decor in the common areas and my appeared to be collected from what had not sold at a yard sale. Some of the of the wall hangings were plastic. Mismatched furnishings were of old, poor quality materials. Electrical cords ran along the walls. The bathroom amenities were a partial bottle of something green and another empty dispenser.
Ceiling tiles in the hallway were hanging or completely missing, exposing wiring. A wall heating unit looked ancient and had a length of \"caution\" tape affixed to it. The locks on the room doors were minimal thumb-turns latches with no deadbolts, even to the exterior. Exterior features like picnic tables were dirty and mismatched. Some structures were broken.
Most concerning was the pervasive smell throughout the hallways, of must, or cigarettes, or animals. The carpet is a patchwork of samples, and very old. The manager expressed some pride that the place had not been improved in decades.
The manager had indicated at least coffee in the morning, and there was a big commercial-type machine in the lobby, there were no supplies or coffee. The desk was not staffed in the morning. Restaurants are not nearby this place.
There is no \"spa.\" A weedy lake is near the property, but it is not for swimming.
My mistake was not leaving the minute I looked around.

1 Night Stay- Cute place, but…
Firstly I’ll start with when we first arrived, there’s a paper on the door that states you must call/text a number to get a code to get in. Odd, but ok. Secondly, once we got in, we stood in the lobby for about 15 minutes before a lady came out to greet us. (She was nice) but that was a bit inconsiderate to leave us there after a long drive/day. Then I’m told my card declined…. It definitely shouldn’t have declined, so clearly it was something he was doing on his end, (the lady was on the phone with, I’m assuming the owner, he was not present) but we went back and forth confirming numbers, etc. then asked to pay cash, then confirming every detail on my card again, it worked. Moving on, it was absolutely freezing inside and there was no way to accommodate our own temperature. Furthermore, the pool was closed, the hallways reeked of cat urine, our room “looked clean”, but you can tell it doesn’t get properly or professionally cleaned on a daily basis or even after each stay. There were cob webs all over our room, including the shower ceiling, which also had a hole in it with what looked like a paper towel to “plug” it. The start was ice cold so showering was not great. Wiring/cords everywhere. The sheets were disgusting and smelt like BO and the comforter had stains all over it. Oh, and there was a mouse running around our room! I get it’s the mountains, but come on! We also couldn’t connect to our tv. I could go on, but All in all, never again!

It is a magical and unique place, of course this is not for everyone, it is a place that transports you to 60 and I loved that, I would appreciate a little more maintenance but that does not steal the magic and speaking of magic when we arrived at 10 pm we were a little scared around, but when we entered everything changed and we spent two incredible nights we enjoyed nature and the natural air, the birds and all that the lake super delicious, anyway I liked it

This place belongs on Antiques Roadshow. The property is very poorly maintained, and the cleanliness was deplorable. There was no soap, the sink was clogged, and only one towel was provided for two people. The bed was uncomfortable, with old spring mattresses, and there appeared to be some sticky substance on the bed cover.

I was relieved that we were staying for only one night.

On the positive side, the property has many interesting antique and vintage items, including old cars displayed at the entrance, which added some charm and character.

Overall, this place needs a lot of TLC (tender loving care) and significant attention to maintenance and cleanliness.

The reviews of this place are incredibly polarizing. Some people think it is the worst place they have ever seen. Others think of it as a twee little time capsule, an example of the pocono mountains in their former glory. The truth is a bit in between, though it is, in cat the worst place I have ever stayed. (And I am a sucker for cheap motels) You can see evidence of its former glory. It seems kinda clean, but it is very run down. Whoever runs this place has done a number of shoddy repairs. That makes it seem dirtier and harder to clean. Nothing is new. There are extension cords visible in the hallway. The weirdest thing is that my room had an old rate card pasted to the back of the door. It appeared at least 40 years old. The quotes room rate on the card was $145. I paid $80. This place is running on fumes

I booked this hotel because it was pet friendly and close to where we had plans. I knew from research that the hotel was outdated, but I thought that it might be kind of fun to stay there. I was very disappointed by the uncleanliness of the hotel. From the garbage all throughout the property and surrounding woods, the mildew smell throughout the hotel and rooms, and filthy patio furniture with cobwebs all over them. There is a broken down plow truck at the entrance to the hotel and then the old cars in the entranceway (which could be cool) were filthy. I understand that they are keeping the 1960's theme, but they should be required to better maintain the facilities.

Well if you’re into psycho this is the place. Or maybe the shining. The place is vintage but in bad need of upgrades and remodeling of areas. Old farm tractor was on our friends patio so they had no access to outside. Our side patio ok but next door looked like a homeless camp on patio. The water dripped in tub and sink. The facets I wouldn’t even touch. I used a towel. It would be an awesome place if just painted and areas replaced there was trash everywhere just as you left the place right in front of front as you look down entrance way. Just need more organization of property and way it’s run.

That place was very dusty. Look very rundown. Had cobwebs on the wall and ceiling. Just an old man and his wife running place. Bathrooms look unhygienic, The bedding look very old and used. Could not see myself laying in the bed. It's also a fire hazard, they got so many things plugged into one outlet with cords and camera wires going all over.
The smell of mold and mildew I did see a few dead roaches in the lobby area and it look like rodents too.
It's definitely not what is advertised online and what the pictures are showing.
Don't get me wrong. This place look like it used to be very beautiful back in the days. I do love the vintage look. The place is just not upkept. Just needs better management.
Old husband and wife cannot manage that place anymore. With new management that place may be what it once was. For now I would not recommend anyone staying there. The cigarette smells in the room. horrible! Really thought I was getting a deal but it turns out to be a scam because It's not what was advertised I cannot get my money back even though I did not spend one hour there. I was able to book with chain hotel holidays inn with free breakfast and the a pool which was a lot more comfortable.

Let me start off by saying that this place is a beautiful place if you're looking for something antique and western, but overall, I must give this place three stars. It's very rundown, and the smell of mold rules the hallways. The place indicator says it's a smoke-free hotel, but it definitely isn't - all you smell are old cigarettes and pleading products. I appreciate that the young lady upgraded my room; the room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable enough for me to sleep in. The only issue was that the patio lights stayed on all night, and the curtains were thin, so the light bothered me. It also indicated they had a beach, but it was false - it's a swamp covered with trees and green mold. Overall, it was okay, but was it worth the amount I paid? No but that's how I get to experience things in the area by learning and never repeating the lesson again.

A Nightmare Stay at The MappleMold hotel

I wish I could give this hotel zero stars. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this place was a disaster. The property is an absolute dump—trash littered everywhere, from cigarette butts to food wrappers, making the grounds look like a landfill. The building itself is ancient, crumbling, and reeks of neglect.

The room was even worse. The overpowering stench of mold, cigarette smoke, and dog urine hit me the second I walked in. The carpet was damp and squished underfoot, clearly saturated with who-knows-what (though the urine smell gave a strong hint). The ceiling in the bathroom had suspicious holes—perfectly positioned for a hidden camera, which made showering feel like a scene from a horror movie. I didn’t feel safe for a second.

Speaking of safety, the door’s lock was flimsy at best, barely latching, let alone securing the room. The whole place felt like it hadn’t been cleaned or maintained in decades. Mold crept along the walls, and the air was thick with a musty, smoky haze that made breathing unpleasant.

I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t relax, and checked out as fast as possible. This hotel is a health hazard and a security nightmare. Save your money and your sanity—stay far, far away.

Across the board, it was an bad experience staying here.
I checked out after the first day and didn’t stay the second day because of a sudden personal emergency.
So I asked the owner or manager to try to get me a refund for the second day booking and they told me to deal about it with Expedia.
So I called Expedia all they did was send me two emails so far telling me that the situation is still pending according to the Pocono Hotel and Spa.
That doesn’t make sense because they told me already at the hotel they will not refund me for the second day. That I had already paid and booked for through Expedia.
And I’m still waiting for an answer on that one for me from either Expedia or hotel.
Like I said, it was a personal, family emergency of why we left and the hotel management knows that and knows why.
It would be nice if I can at least get a credit for the $108 I paid for the booking or a full refund.
Which ever they want to do.

My wife and I recently planned a quick weekend getaway. We choose Pocono Mountain resort and spa for a couple of reasons.
1. Dog freindly. (They were very accommodating for traveling with our four legged member of our family.)
Close to other things in area we have done in the past. (Everything seemed to be around 25-30 minutes which we didn't mind with the wonderful Mountain veiws)
3 reasonable price
This is not the Hilton so don't expect it. If grandmom said come stay at my cabin in the mountains this place has that vibe. The staff and owner are nice and very sociable. The place is far from perfect and dated but thats what gives it its character. We are already planning our next trip back we loved it.

Good intentions but definitely not recommend.

So the owner was nice and the front desk personnel were friendly but people really need to know what they’re getting into before staying here. It is evident that the property was abandoned for many years and then reopened with little renovations. I’d compare staying there to camping in an old cabin - kind of musty, falling ceilings, random items in lobby drawers (20 year old printers and powered Alfredo sauce under the coffee pot). You can tell there are good intentions for the place, but they’re just not being fulfilled. There are no deadbolts on the room doors and judging by the striker someone could break in with ease. Definitely do not recommend unless you’re really looking for the bare minimum. We ended up going to the local Holiday Inn for our second night.
