Rodeway Inn Moosic - Scranton — Hotel in Moosic

Needs to be CLOSED. Horrible property. Buildings are falling apart. This is NOT a hotel; it’s barely a motel. The check-in area smells like a musty, urine soaked basement even though it’s above ground. The stench of chemically pinesol stayed in my clothes for hours after leaving.

I booked 2 months in advance, 2 rooms and he gave us the “last rooms available” - the non-smoking rooms were surrounded by smokers - cigarettes and weed.

We walked into the single-story ground floor outside door (which is a MOTEL) room and had to hold our breath. It stunk, was dark and stains on sheets.

So I checked the other room in the “hotel” spot, up a very scary, dirty hallway, the entire building stinking of mold, weed - can tell there is no insulation under floors or in the walls - had to walk up and down stairs, narrow hallways, like the building was never meant to be a hotel.

Finally open our room and at face value, it looks okay. Not as powerful of a pinesol smell but then we started checking things. The particle board headboard was falling off, chipped drywall, patched paint, stained bedspread and sheets, and the best - a ton of eggs and dead bed bugs on the bottom bed protector. Yeah - what’s being protected?

We pretty much ran out of there. The front desk guy was like “we’ve never had bed bugs” yeah - that’s what they say. When I show him the picture, he’s like “what room? Where? That’s not us”

Umm - yeah, it is. Let’s go look at it. He offered to get the maintenance guy to “clean it up”. How does a hotel clerk not know that you can’t “clean up” bed bugs?

How can CHOICE hotels not condemn this place? It must not be a place for actually...

This place was a quick stop for a 1 night stay for having a bed and bathroom for our mid point stop. We purchased a NON SMOKING ROOM. It was disgusting, cigarette burns in both blankets on both beds, the top decor sheet/blanket has disgusting stains all over one of them. They only gave you 2 VERY THIN SOFT PILLOWS on EACH BED!!! They provide you with 2 bath mats, 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel, 1 wash cloth for a room with 4 people, 2 full beds! They had 1 roll of toilet paper on the holder that literally had 8 sheets of toilet paper and 1 full roll on the back of the toilet. All towels have black and brown stains all over them!

The mini fridge was in a cabinet with a bureau attached and had sticky stains all through the cabinet so you couldn't put your stuff in it. The beds were pretty uncomfortable, had back pain waking up throughout the night. The shower water pressure was absolutely horrible also and hot water was WAY WAY WAY TOO HOT! Thank God I made sure to check it before my children tried it. If you can't be around much dust THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU!! They don't dust AT ALL!

I went to checkout this morning at 7am and the owner came out, I told him all about everything and he literally DIDN'T CARE! He said " OH WELL SOME PEOPLE DO THAT" No joke this is what he said and he said goodbye! You couldn't really understand him at all either and with the plexi glass they have across the counter makes it extremely hard to hear him to try to understand him.

My family and I WON'T EVER STAY HERE AGAIN! The only ok thing about this place was the location...

I stayed at this location on 5/14/23 and to be honest, I'm pretty mystified by some of the poor reviews of the property. I'll start off by saying that Philip checked me in on Sunday night and checked me back out on Monday morning. You'd be hard pressed to find a friendlier, more welcome guy anyplace. He started everything off the right way for me! After completing the check-in, I went to my room, kind of around the side of the property (room 154 if I remember correctly) and once inside, I was very surprised how nice the room was! Everything has been remodeled pretty recently. The paint looked fresh, the furniture and fixtures in the room were all bright and clean looking and the bed was AMAZING. If a previous guest hadn't at some point gouged one of the walls with the back of a chair, I would have thought I might be the first one to be housed there. I almost never get a good night of sleep anyplace other than home, but that was NOT an issue here! The bed was perfect, the climate control in the room was perfect and privacy was perfect. I was traveling with my dog for a job the next day in the area and the big grass field along the side of the property was a great spot to walk him. The property could use a little TLC on the exterior maybe, but the overall comfort and conditions were awesome for the price paid. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book another room at this location next time I'm working...
