Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The bedding was filthy-covered in short curly black hair, dirt and dust on the comforter, sheets and pillows. Smelled heavily of cigarettes even though it was non-smoking room. We did not stay. It is close to Dorney Park.

The location was convenient for our purposes and the staff was friendly enough, but the room could have been a bit cleaner. There were many strands of long hair on the ground, and we both had short hair. The breakfast was okay, but it certainly wasn't as appealing as breakfasts at Holiday Inn. Plus, staying in a room on the 1st floor meant that we felt like we had to draw the curtains all the time to maintain our privacy, especially given the parking lot was right outside our window.

Dirty hot tub!
The hot tub is dirty the pool is cold. The old man in the morning is rude. The young guy is nice and that's the only reason I gave 2stars. If he wasn't there I'd give no stars.

The room we were given had a musty smell. We asked to change rooms and were told the hotel was sold out. It didn’t look sold out. Maybe the truth is that the Expedia rooms were sold out. They were able to give us an alternate room (the last remaining room, they said) and it was ok though the bed configuration was worse than what we had booked.

Not a fan
The room looked a lot nicer online. The hotel had a funny smell, and the pool definitely needs updating. There were random people not a part of the hotel using the pool. I typically book nicer hotels, but this hotel was good for the budget.

The staff was wonderful and accommodating. We had left our marriage necklaces hanging in the bathroom from when we showered and they were nice enough to check and find them and hold them at the counter for us until we returned the following night.
