City Hall Grand Hotel

We were caught off guard as we thought this was a typical hotel. It was run more like an air b&b. You get a code to the main entrance and your room. Our room was a bit difficult to find as we had to go down, then past a bar and the gym before entering another locked door to access our room. Our room was nicely decorated and clean, but we surprised by the waterbed. And the barn door that covers either the bathroom or the shower - and the glass shower didn’t have a door. We also didn’t expect the room to be half basement and at street level where we could hear people walking by. Noise wasn’t a big problem as it was pretty quiet after the bar restaurant closed. I wouldn’t say it was necessarily bad. Just not what we expected, and really not for us.

Stayed one night. Very Easy parking. No front desk so they text you a code to open front door of hotel and your room. Quite simple. We were in 306, the Twain room. A beautiful room with cool windows and ceilings. This room had an unusual feature where the bathroom had no door, it was just a wide opening. The toilet was tucked behind shower but the fan wasn’t loud enough to cover bathroom noises of your travel companion (lol!). The hotel communicated very well with us (maybe too much!) but I think they really wanted to make sure you understood the unusual no front desk sitch. The building is just stunning and they’ve renovated it beautifully. I’d stay there again. The town of Williamsport was very empty 4th of July weekend but i imagine it picks up for little league tourney and during school year. So much potential there. Gorgeous old buildings everywhere but many places were closed on a Saturday night. We didn’t have a chance to check out the restaurant or lounge. Maybe next time.

We stayed in the Salvation Army room and it was very lovely. The rooms were clean and the location was close to downtown Williamsport. Will definitely be back next time.

Such a unique building and the room was great. Had a unique old vault in the room, and a great shower and bathroom. Highly recommend.
