We stayed here for a quick overnight on our way up to Niagara Falls. While this hotel is a bit dated and could probably use an upgrade, the stay was pleasant. I have to say that a friendly staff goes a very long way and I don’t think you could find a much nicer staff. From check-in, to the bar at night, to breakfast in the morning, to check out, everyone we encountered was extremely friendly and went out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The room itself was nice enough. Just a little old and rundown. Shower was good and had plenty of water pressure. Plenty of choices at the breakfast buffet. There are a couple of bars that stay open late at night that are part of the hotel. You don’t have to even walk outside to get to them. Overall I’d recommend the hotel.

Indoor pool is the best. We had a Streamside room and the view was beautiful. Our first night stay there was a child going door to door knocking near midnight. And our room key did not work on day two and we were booked for two nights. We came back from the pool and were locked out; the front desk was not close- so that was bothersome to go back to get our room key reactivated.

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.
