Worst Western: Outskirts of Erie

by Travler409

I booked online, which wasn't a big deal. But when I tried to deal directly with the hotel, it became a nightmare. We were three dudes shairng one room with two beds. I called two hours before we arrived asking for a roll-away. When we checked in, the younger dude working the counter was unable to open the storage room door to retrieve the roll-away, but told us when we got back he'd have it in our room.

Which never happened.

The next morning I spoke to the older woman now at the desk who informed me I needed to let them know prior to arrival if we were going to need a roll-away. I told her I did. Her immediate response was, "Well, we don't have any here." Not allowing myself to be confused, I shot back with, "Is your staff aware of this? I called and was told 'No problem.' I arrived and was told, 'No problem.' We got here last night and it has been nothing but a problem." Luckily, Kegger had an inflatable camping mattress and he crashed on that both nights. The third desk worker, a middle aged man, deducted the sales tax and gave me a senior rate.

The breakfast buffet was an open box of Hostess donuts and some juice boxes.

Sheraton 4 Points: Sheraton 4 Points in Philadelphia

by ArenJo

The hotel itself is very nice. The bed is very comfortable. However, the only places to eat in the area are at the Sheraton 4 Points and the Sheraton Suites across the street. These places are extremely expensive to eat at. There is nothing else in this area to see or do.

Sheraton Society Hill: Philadelphia - Society Hill

by ATXtraveler

If you are visiting Philadelphia, there are a couple of options on where to stay. We had a conference on the riverfront, which led us to choose the Sheraton Society Hill, because of its proximity. It was a short little walk to restaurants and nightlife, and was on the main trolley paths for the other more exciting locations such as the Liberty Bell and the like.

Overall, the hotel was nice. I thought it was a much older tradtional building, but I learned that it was actually built in the 80's and just designed to look older. The "antique" elevatore made me mad though when I found out that it actually was not slow because it was old, but rather designed that way.

The room was comfortable, mainly because of Sheraton's "Sweet Sleeper" bed, but I would warn you not to get a room on the third floor, because it is located right next to the pool. There seemed to be alot of noise coming from the pool, which was right out my back balcony window.

Stony Fork Creek Campground: Nice Campground

by Melann

We arrived at this family owned campground via a backcountry road. They have a nice camp store that sells local baked goods and snacks, good coffee and pretty much any of the things you might forget on a camping trip. they also have a good selection of souvenirs and t shirts reasonably priced.
We would definately stay here again. The pool was nice as well as the stocked pond, the playground was a bit small but it appears they are adding to it.

To get to the tent sites you drive across Stony Fork Creek...literally there is no bridge. Because the campground is located in a valley surrounded by rolling mountains the water level definately rose the day we left due to the heavy rains. My sister who went along for the trip drove her small Saturn through with no problem though Id have to say it would be interesting to see how high the water was at the end of the day.

Free campgrounds.

by cachaseiro

Around Pennsylvania, especially around the walking trails and bicycle trails you can find primitive campsites where you can camp for free.
They mostly have just a toilet and a fireplace, but i found that sufficient for most nights when touring and i think it's great that such options excist in Pennsylvania as it makes the trip more affordable and gives you a more real experience with nature.

DAYS INN -- WASHINGTON PA: GREAT LOCATION

by LoriPori

Thursday, September 14, 2006
After a long day of driving, we decided to stay in Washington, PA and chose the DAYS INN as it was posted in the Hotel Travel Coupon Book. It was a good location and a good price -- $40.00 plus tax.
The room was clean and spacious, with a mini-fridge and micowave. Also high speed wireless internet is available for a fee.

The Days Inn has 104 guest rooms, outdoor swimming pool & guest laundry, complimentary deluxe continental breakfast, free local calls and a variety of restaurants nearby.

Columbian Bed & Breakfast: Lovely B&B

by kazander

We stayed at the Columbian for one night in August to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. At the time, a Sunday night, we were the only guests there, it was nice to have this beautiful old inn all to ourselves. We stayed in the Bishop room, decorated in a romantic style with a four poster bed and a fireplace. Karen, our hostess was very helpful and sweet, not to mention a fantastic cook. Our breakfast, served on the outside patio, was just delightful.

This lovely brick faced B&B, has wonderful wrap around porches, a back patio with coy pond and waterfall and lovely indor common spaces. The whole place seems to be designed for relaxing and enjoying time with your special someone.

Best Western Inn & Conference Center: Playground at a hotel - Who knew

by my2kids

This hotel was not that fancy but overall it was clean. I see since we have been there they have been remodeling so maybe now it could be very nice.

The price was good and we found the playground on site to be an added bonus for the kids for something different to do.

The community is very polite - there was a nice little shopping mall nearby with a dollar store and grocery store.

Playground on site.

Hotel Windsor: In the city center of Philadelphia

by kazander

Philadelphia's Hotel Windsor is located right in the middle of things. About 10 blocks walk from either the Museum District, or the Historical area, depending on which direction you go. The room was spacious with 2 double beds, a kichen and 2 walk in closets. Seemed like a good place to stay if you neede to be in Philadelphia on business for awhile, or just simply if you have a LOT of luggage.
It did the job for us, though we only utilized the kitchen for the sake of making tea and coffee in the morning.
The only complaint was that Lou found the bed to be on a slant, with his feet higher than his head. Not the best nights sleep we ever had.

The best thing about this hotel was the rooftop pool. Unfortunately it was not open yet, have to wait for summer for that. We were still able to go to the roof and check out the city views at night. Just beautiful!

Rickett's Glen Hotel: Conviently Located in the Middle of Nowhere

by kazander

The couple of times we went up to do some hiking a beautiful Rickett's Glen State Park, we stayed at this cute little place just down the road on RT118. The owners are very kind and helpful and will make your stay a pleasant one!
The hotel has approximately 8 rooms. When we went in May we were the only ones staying here.
There is only one room that has it's own bathroom with shower, this one is a little more expensive (about $10 more) and is spacious with a queen sized bed. Otherwise the other rooms either have a half bath or have a shared bathroom in the hallway. (with the half bath you have to use the hallway bathroom to shower) All are very reasonably priced about $40-$50 a night.
They do not serve breakfast, however. You will have to travel a little ways to get to a diner. we are quite familiar with the area and went to a place in Dushore that we go to when we are camping nearby.

The Rickett's Glen Hotel is primarily known for it's restaurant, the food is excellent! There is also a bar here, but not to worry, even though it's open until 2, you don't hear a thing in your room.
I loved standing on the back porch at night to hear the perfect sound of nothing but frogs on the nearby lake, and waking up early to watch the sunrise over Beaver Pond.
