Hi Yelpers. I stayed at the Best Western in Blakeslee P.A. 107 Parkside Ave. My experience was…read moregood. The people at the front desk were welcoming and polite. The lobby area is quaint. They have a pool, but I didn't get a chance to try it. You have a small area to eat a free continental breakfast. Your choices would be pancakes, eggs, sausages, toast, potatoes, orange juice, apple juice. You can purchase snacks and other drinks, but they're a bit pricey compared to getting it at the local store. Sorry if you're expecting a continental dinner, you're on your own with that. That's not covered. I had to do UberEats. The hallway to the room was clean and quiet. The room was small but perfect for me or a couple. The room came with a microwave, refrigerator, iron with an iron board. My room had a comfortable bed along with a pull out sofa couch, cushy chair with desk and sizable LG television. There is a connecting door to the room next to mine. Make sure you keep it locked. Otherwise you may have some uninvited guests...haha. You can control the room temperature which is by the window. The only problem with the television is the signal to the tv was weak causing the programs to pause every few seconds. Fyi, you get free wifi. Make sure you ask for the code. Parking, of course is available. Overall, I recommend this Best Western if you're ever up in Blakeslee P.A. and if you're planning a mini stay like me. I included a couple of outdoor pics of beautiful P.A. during my drive along with the hotel pics. Enjoy!

I have been staying at this hotel for years. it is clean, very reasonably priced, and the staff is…read moresuper friendly and helpful. Tonight I was in a room next to a room with a very loud party going on. at my request they moved me to a perfect room on a higher floor. If you are traveling to the Poconos or Rt. 80 and need somewhere to stay in eastern PA. Absolutely stay here! Huge shoutout to Abbie. She made it all happen. Raymond Ginn

I was really impressed with this place! It's definitely a hidden gem & I was surprised the entire…read moreplace wasn't packed! The space is HUGE & the prices are more than affordable/reasonable! We stayed in a giant little villa with a full kitchen & dining area- full bathroom- one bedroom & a large fold out couch in the living room. It was more than big enough for 3 of us plus our dog! They're pet friendly which is refreshing!! Now this place is set up like a little village with the center being the front desk- inside the main area- they also have a ton of little extras such as a large movie theatre, gym/fitness center, game room, business/computer room & more. Everything is very nice, well taken care of & appears brand new. They also have the large indoor pool that connects to this building & behind it a full sized playground. My son LOVED staying here! He's a smart 6 year old & he thoroughly enjoyed the pool, playground, game & rec room! Our little villa was walking distance to the main building- being about a 6 or so minute walk or about 2 blocks! Very easy to find & go in & out. The staff was also really nice friendly and accommodating. I didn't hear or see too many other guests during our stay- which was pretty nice as well. We had the entire indoor pool to ourselves for a good 3-4 hours which is amazing! Overall I was MORE than happy with this place. I would absolutely return. Everything was CLEAN, in working order, & relatively new- which is nice! One of my biggest pet peeves is paying to stay at a hotel & then seeing their amenities are anything but & the microwave, mini fridge & tv are older then the ones in my home- that's disappointing. But didn't have that here- everything was nice and new! Woohoo!

We got a dog friendly room, that didn't smell like dogs had stayed there. Plenty of hot water in the shower. My only suggestion to the management/owner would be to put a small fridge in the rooms and to have a communal area for coffee in the am. Otherwise, we had a nice stay. I'll definitely stay here again.

Please steer clear of this place.

Where do I start .... 2 days before our check in date , I was reading the drinking water is contaminated so I call and speak with a gentleman to confirm this information . The worker advised that Willowbrook is okay and water IS NOT CONTAMINATED he seemed annoyed when I had asked him about this . This should've been put on their website so people know before booking . I feel bad for the others who've booked and WERE affected by this . Now we get to the day of check in , check in was smooth , no issues . Provided us a map so we knew where to go . We get into our room (got there around 3:30-4:00pm) and got settled . White sheets on our bed , looked STAINED . Remote for the bedroom TV was missing so we tried to manually connect as we do have a Roku Tv at home and are aware of how to do so . IT DIDN'T WORK . So I call the front desk who advised maintenance would come out and fix that . I told the woman over the phone that we would be leaving to go to dinner and the maintenance person can just go in and fix the issue . We get back from dinner around 9ish and the issue was indeed NOT FIXED . What we did see was the living room TV was on and it appeared they just came in made sure THE WRONG TV was working and left . So I call AGAIN for the second time to let the woman at reception know . I tell her what happened and she says "well does the TV work" ummm if you have read this far , again I advised the woman the tv in the bedroom has NO REMOTE and no way to connect to it , the tv works that's NOT THE ISSUE . Again the woman advised she would have maintenance come out . Maintenance indeed did not come out . Long story short , I ended up calling again in the morning and again told them no one came . I was told they would be coming in a few moments , no one showed up within the hour so me and my boyfriend left for breakfast Came back nobody came . So i call again , express my extreme frustration of paying $700 for 2 nights and 3 days for us to have to continuously call about our amenities. Woman advised she would contact the gentleman specifically to have him come down . I was over it at this point , I walked around the building to find someone to assist with this and on the second floor was the maintenance man (Bryan) with A BOX OF ROKU REMOTES ( very nice guy, very apologetic) So that issue was resolved Then we needed towels . There's a number on the map they provide to call if linens are needed . What's the point of having the number if they don't answer the damn phone . Called 4 times for towels and didn't get any until the last night when we were there and was finally connected with someone in regard to this . Mind you I put the dirty towels in front of the door for them to collect and then replace since they didn't answer until after the 4th time Our bed was not made ONCE were we there . Please do better !!!! This is a wonderful family establishment , beautiful lakes , beautiful views , lake harmony Watersports is absolutely wonderful and prices are great . Restaurants were pretty good . Our stay unfortunately was not . We will definitely not be coming back here

PROS: this place was a nice water park to stay at. The staff is friendly, the bars and restaurants…read morewere good, and they had more rooms than you can count. Among the staff, Griffin at the front counter was a pleasure to work with. CONS: they charge you extra to use the common amenities (pool, gym, arcade, etc) and then extra on top of that for the water park. The electronic room key also failed and the carpet in our room wasn't clean. The line for check in took a solid 20 minutes. Longer than any other place I've been to. We also found a few bugs in our room OVERALL: not sure if I would come back here. The staff and the amount of amenities was amazing, but the cleanliness and the prices are very questionable

Do not stay here. The only positive thing I can say about this "resort" is that the staff is…read morefriendly and at least handles all of the complaints from customers with grace. My parents traded their time share to stay here and reserved a two bedroom suite with two queen beds in one room and a jetted tub in the master with a king bed. Upon arrival, they were given a one bedroom with an adjoining room with twin beds and charged a $400 resort fee because there were technically two different rooms. They have never had to pay a resort fee at any other resort they've traded their time share for. That was issue number one. Later which we found out we had booked the room that was over at the willowbrook yet they put us in an entirely different room even after we complained. They said they were "looking into it" but never ended up moving us. The rooms were dirty and kitchen lacking even an oven mitt, dish towel, or even a sponge. The glasses and dishes put away were clearly dirty. So we tried to run the dishwasher, shortly after we realized it was leaking as the carpet next to and behind it was soaked. Maintenance was called and the man simply looked at it and said it wasn't leaking even after feeling the damp floor. The next day we complained again and then they sent three men to replace it with another old dishwasher likely from a different room. Also, in our entire weeks stay. I only saw one maid, once. She was vacuuming the downstairs lobby. Meanwhile, the entire second floor and on looks like it's never seen a vacuum. That was the second issue. The worst part about the entire trip was the "resort amenities" that I assumed were part of the ridiculous $400 fee...as you can see from the photos, the tiles above the pool and bowling alley were riddled with water damage and mold. One tile even fell on a man's head while swimming in the pool! I even went to the front desk to let them know that a tile had fallen into the pool in the hopes they would clean it...and the lady at the front desk just said "here are the pool hours" so I don't think she understood me. Most of the staff doesn't speak English very well though not for lack of trying and they are very nice. The hot tub literally had a layer of film on it and wasn't hot. For this reason we chose not to swim. We stayed for a whole week and by the end of the week...the tiles were still laying at the bottom of the pool. Also, the bar and the water park were closed with the exception of one day during our entire week stay. The only thing to do was go to the arcade (which obviously still cost us money) The bowling alley also had leaking ceiling tiles. They simply put a bucket under it and it was still there nearly a week later when we check out. The water park was even more disgusting than the regular pool. Not to mention half of it was closed off. This resort looks like it was once really great back when they had enough staff and money to maintain it properly. The website and pamphlets show what the resort USED to look like and are not updated. It's a shame because if they put money into repairs to restore it to its former glory, it would be a great place to stay again. This place needs new owners willing to repair it because as is, it should be HEAVILY discounted. If you're going to spend that much, go somewhere nicer and cleaner. Do not stay here. I cannot believe how much they charge with almost nothing open or working. Throughout our stay we overheard many people complaining about broken air conditioning, non working elevators, tiles falling, things not working, things not being open, and the general condition of the place. I feel bad for the employees that have to deal with all the complaints. I can only imagine how the owners treat them with how little they seem to care about customers. I'm honestly shocked they're still in business. Do better!

Just the two of us but we decided to rent the container for four people. Glad we did, it was just enough space. One thing to keep in mind is they don't provide utensils. Bring your own knife, fork, spoon, plates, cup, etc. The blanket provided is very thin. So either turn the heat on, or bring your own. Broken/missing blind from the window. Water was leaking frm the shower door. Walked out to a puddle on the floor. There was also a brownish stain in the toilet. It was a rainy weekend when we went. So we ended up having internet and wifi that first and only night only. Called and spoke with someone, was told there's an outage due to weather. The umbrella outside had a hole so didnt help much when we were grilling in the rain.

Yes, the hotel is slightly older, but contrary to the other reviews, it wasn't as horrible as others have said--maybe it was because we had lowered expectations going in, but in fact we were pleasantly surprised. THIS IS NOT A 5-STAR HOTEL PEOPLE, SO GET OVER IT. It is a decent hotel, one of the least expensive in town, and definitely worth what we paid. PROS: The breakfast: more than just "grab and go." It was scrambled eggs, sausage, cereal/milk, bagels, toast, yogurt, juices, tea, coffee and more. It was buffet style and the staff were on top of refilling food and cleaning tables promptly. The pool: clean, clear, WARM! Very chlorinated-expect red eyes. The rooms: clean, comfortable, pretty much like any other middle of the road hotel. WiFi is free and worked better than cell service in this mountainous area. Tv was new, fridge and hairdryer were standard. Pretty quiet as well. The staff: awesome. The price: terrific. THE CONS: It was a little nerve wracking going up and down the hill to the hotel in the snow (December). They plow, but I'm not sure they salted the road, it seemed icy. We made it fine even though we were in a Ford Fusion and a small light Honda Fit. Yes, the key cards reset and locked us out even though we were booked for 2 days. Guy behind us in line in the lobby was having the same problem. I would suggest to the management, that since they clearly know this is a problem, just tell people when they check in that they could have a problem with this and apologize ahead of time and say that you are working in the problem. The rooms: as stated, clean, but a weird white grainy powder on the top of the bedspread. It was sort of like when you use too much powdered laundry soap and it doesn't rinse out all the way--or maybe the maids sprinkled carpet powder before they left and it overshot onto the bed--I have no idea. It was not IN the bed sheets, so we just shook it off the top and got over it. Then when we unfolded the sofa bed and just re-folded it back up, we noticed that a french fry fell out and there were also a few crumbs on top of the outer blanket in the sofa bed. Again, inside the sheets were clean. Minor, but annoying. Plumbing: toilets were a little slow. One shower (we had adjoining rooms) would not shut off completely and ran a medium stream all night. We felt horrible about all the wasted water, but it was really late and kids were asleep, so we didn't call the desk. :( Structure: I would suspect they have been trying to update and remodel. Room seemed newly painted, but certainly not a perfect paint job (paint on lamps, blotches here and there of dark paint we at first thought was blood, an unpainted water spot above the shower, etc). One old tiny elevator working (and one broken)-- IT REALLY WAS NOT A BIG ISSUE OR PROBLEM. Room heaters were a bit inefficient and inconsistent, but not terrible. Some of the the double-pane windows have become unsealed, so foggy and difficult to see outside. OVERALL: pretty decent for the low cost. No, it is maybe not like a sandals resort, but come on people, look at the room price. Never once saw a bug. Staff was great and extremely accommodating. They seem to be really trying to get the place looking better. It wasn't the Ritz, but it wasn't a roach motel either. WOULD DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN.
