Reviews of The Prince Hotel 3 stars

The desk clerk was nice and there was a vending machine.

Dirty, worn furnishing, low attention to safety

Location is nice and the hotel itself has loads of potential unfortunately whoever is running doesn't give a hoot and it's apparent.

It was absolutely filthy. Everything had a layer of dust over it. The carpeting was stinky and probably older than me. The towels all had holes and looked more like old washer rags. Rooms had no overhead light fixture. The shower had someone else's hair on the walls. These people don't even try to make this place worth the price they charge you. I live in Pittsburgh, but I'm from this area originally and I could get a decent hotel room where I live now that is actually CLEAN for what I paid for this dump. We left after one night because of the filthy condition of the room and bathroom. The guy who runs the desk, was supposed to give me a refund for the second night and he offered to do both nights which I didn't even expect, but he has never answered Booking.com in the last two months they tried to reach him. He also hasn't answered when I call directly. Don't stay here. I paid for a night I didn't even stay. Place is disgusting. Fabulouso and a bucket of hot water would go a long way and wouldn't cost that much! Please use my money that you kept to invest in cleaning supplies and clean the hotel!

Affordable, spacious, decent for the price,

Smelled like smoke, minorly dirty, scuffed walls and furniture.

The price and location were attractive for my purposes. Large bed. Good television.

The room's overhead light fixtures were missing, ceiling imperfections. No wash cloths, hand towel, soap, drinking cups upon arrival. The tub jets did not work. Bed was too soft for my tastes.

The place was bad.

Nothing about the hotel

walking distance to activities

room was dirty, stains on couches and table. probably would come off with some cleaner. didn’t look like it was attempted to be clean though.

I love how it is in the middle of town. beautiful rooms

some of the rooms didn’t have working lights

I called before booking to inquire about early check in, and what I'm guessing is the sole proprietor (he was the person who always answered the phone, always greeted us, we didn't speak to or meet anyone else working there) was always really nice, helpful, straightforward and kind. The location is awesome, the history of the hotel is cool, the town is a tiny little gem (hit the Deitrich theater, so fun) so it's a great cheap location if you want to visit nearby stuff like Jim Thorpe or other regions of the mountains. At time of booking, the King Suite room with a jacuzzi was $107 plus tax - the cons of the room (below) are honestly pretty consistent with that price point.

The rooms have def seen some age that could be cleaned up/repaired a little better. There's a lot of chipped paint, it's clear the housekeeping is not quite as thorough as it could be, and one of our blind valances literally detached from the ceiling in a hailstorm of paint chips and rotten wood lol - we had to tack up the top sheet to cover that window for the night as it was late and neither we (nor we assumed the owner) wanted to deal with switching/fixing at 1am. Again, for the price - you're getting what you pay for and I will say the jacuzzi tub was def cleaned and it stayed hot and bubbly haha. If you're a major germaphobe or very anxious about cleanliness, this may not be the place for you. If you've got a little adventure in you and don't mind just maybe running an extra "sterilize" laundry load when you get home, it's just fine.

very good location right in the center of Tunkhannock free parking behind the hotel free „upgrade“ which was appreciated

due to the low occupancy they don’t have Someone at the reception 24x7 which is perfectly fine and once calling the number at the reception, someone was there within a couple of minutes. the biggest issue was the fact that once we were in our room, my girlfriend used the bathroom but couldn’t get out anymore. For some reason the whole handle was useless from both sides. I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened if we both would have been in the bathroom without our cellphones. especially since the windows could not be opened and we were on the second floor anyway. after once again calling the reception phone number the owner/front desk clerk arrived within a couple of minutes. he also once again tried it himself and went to get some tools. he tried around with the tools and was even considering to break the entire door. since nothing helped he „called a guy“ and told us he’d be back in a couple of minutes. this triggered us to give it a try ourselves and so my girlfriend basically unscrewed the handle from the inside and we managed to get her out of there. after calling the person again he told me to leave the tools in front of the door, that he would get them later and that he would get someone to fix it the next day. the tools were still in front of the door the next day and the door had not been fixed by the time we left.
