The Penn Stroud, Stroudsburg - Poconos, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Handy location for restaurants and shops

Basic for price paid

The hotel is in a great location, right in the center of town within walking distance to primarily a number of clubs/bars, but with some restaurants nearby as well. Parking was onsite and convenient.

The rate was pretty steep for what you got. I was anticipating something above your standard Holiday Inn type fare, but was a little disappointed. The room was pretty standard - gray, mod, few furnishings. The shower didn't have a wand, which would have been something one might expect at this price points. The breakfast was pretty standard fare. It was advertised as light continental or something similar, but was really basic, no upgrade at all on the items served.

At first I was a little worried when we pulled up to this hotel. Almost the entire 1st floor seems to be being extensively renovated and we entered the lobby through what seemed like a back entrance. However, this is one of the nicer hotels we've stayed in with some upscale touches. Spacious enough and clean. Well laid out and comfortable. A nice fitness room and breakfast area. I'll bet it'll be really nice when the construction is finished.

Location was right in the heart of town so easy to walk around.

Beds were uncomfortable, hall smelled, room was old and weathered
