Needed a room for a quick overnight stay. This HoJo is right in downtown Scranton with plenty of free parking. Location is a bit dicey as this is not the more active part of town. Not that it's dangerous, just really quiet and desolate at night. Room was pleasantly decorated. Stains on both upholstered arm chairs. Bedspread was new. Pillowcase... more

The owners are clearly not putting any money back into the place. The room rate was over $100 and when we got to our room one of the beds... more

The hotel ad on the HoJo website was attractive. But when we arrived, it was in the South? side of town. Across from an abandoned hotel with 2 homeless people. Very few people there. The pool was non-existent, no resturant and there was a full dumpster in the street below the rooms. Look over your shoulder walking to your room... more

Room was bad, bathroom was so bad, (ceiling caving in, tub de-laminated) kids would not use shower. Called Howard johnson to complain, sent a 10% coupon, place needs renovating,(years ago)!! more

When politely quering the manager about the charge, she says "Get out or I'll beat you up". Hotel is okay as a property (although one room didn't have a shower head, or a properly flushing toilet), and the price is... more
