Reviews for Scottish Inn & Suites-Allentown
Review 1:I needed help to get a room because I was in the hospital in Allentown PA for five days and life my bank card in my semi truck and money too and the hotel people help me buy taking my information down and got the job done. I really didn't know what to say but Thank you for being good people.
Review 2:Very good and nice people.
Review 3:This place is disgusting! I was showering and saw a cockroach crawling up the wall, the shower water didnt drain, the TV screen was fractured so bad you couldnt even watch tv, its like someone punched it and they didnt even care to replace it, the shower curtain and sheets were dirty, the bed spread had burn holes all over it from smoking guests, and the staff was rude and awkward and unwelcoming! Worst place we ever stayed avoid this hotel dont waste your money I would rather sleep in my car.
Review 4:Great location.
Review 5:we had no water pressure in sink, the shower would not get hot. there wasn't a hair dryer in our room the door to room had to be slammed to get shut, and finally when i went to check in the inn had no restroom in lobby a necessity for senior
Review 6:Filthy room- even mirror and picture crusty Room not made up 2nd day-just thin towels on counter. Halls and room stunk. Staff slow to wait check-in and out. Shower grout moldy.
Review 7:price
Review 8:I was not impressed with the hotel at all. It was very deceiving. The hotel is very dirty, smells musky, and has stains all over. We had pee in our sink (you could see and smell it) and the floor was disgusting. There were nasty people hanging around outside in the grass drinking, people playing loud music and leaving their doors open. I'm thankful we didn't have our three year with us on this short trip. There's no way I would have had him in this hotel.
Review 9:The staff is very friendly!
Review 10:The place was party central. everywhere we went someone or many people were drinking beer. this included the stairway,hall ect. and while we relaxed in the pool there was an open door party going on.
Review 11:for the price was a decent hotel. I read many reviews prior to going and was expecting much worse.
Review 12:The halls were extremely dirty and the housekeeping staff didn't do the room on the first night we were there. There were also some very seedy people staying there. One guy was drinking a full bottle of booze outside our window and another walking around the halls in his boxer shorts. Not terribly classy but it wasn't the Ritz..;-)
Review 13:It was convenient to get to from where we needed to be.
Review 14:There was a balled up used tissue next to the bed when we arrived. Some towels were hanging and some were folded. Looked like someone was rushed/ didn't set them up properly.
Review 15:Friendly staff
Review 16:My daughter was travelling, I had made the reservation using my CC - which she had. I contacted the property to guarantee a late arrival. Was told she could not use my card. Thankfully, she had other means, otherwise she could have been out in the cold. After my conversation with the owner, he promptly reported my card as not being able to be processed to booking.com. He was extremely rude to my daughter. She was not impressed with the room. I would not recommend this property to anyone.
Review 17:blankets had burn holes all through them pool was not running everything was dirty. they could barely speak English even though it says they do they should have a health inspector come and check the place out should be closed down and completely remodeled.
Review 18:liked that there are restaurants right by, fridge was leaking so they switched rooms,outside was all repainted
Review 19:I rarely give reviews, but this place was so bad. Dirty room, smelled like smoke in nonsmoking room and people obviously living on property. Never go back there again.
Review 20:No refrigerator, HVAC system was so noisy you couldn't sleep. Dirty carpet and bath, Workers using the kitchen so that guests could not get breakfast.
Review 21:It was cheap
Review 22:"Nonsmoking" room smelled like smoke. Light switches/outlets so badly installed they were loose & sinking behind the walls. Grubby bathroom. Matted, pilled, dirty blankets. The worst was the carpet: sticky, glazed with dirt, spill puddles. Had to wash our feet every time we stepped on it.
Review 23:Even though we got there close to midnight, they hadn't lost our reservation. + there were no bedbugs
Review 24:Room was dirty. Walls, carpet, tile needed help. They had sign in lobby for cleaning help and they seriously need it. Gave us towels that smelled like smoke. Will not stay there again.
Review 25:Location convenient to highway and stores
Review 26:The room was dirty - with mold growing in ice bucket. Wi-Fi was exceedingly slow - when it worked at all. I will never stay there again. The price should have warned me of the conditions!
Review 27:Price
Review 28:Silly $50 deposit for non-smoking room, lousy offering in TV channels, being told like a schoolboy that "for future reference" guests are "not allowed to bring breakfast into the room" by a plain clothed lady, inconvenient check out time of 11:00 am and disgusting smell in the room..
Review 29:The fridge
Review 30:The room and the bathroom were dirty!! And the bedspread was full of cigarette burns, in a non smoking room that we had to put an extra deposit on!!
Review 31:It was close to places to eat, which was great since the provided breakfast was stale muffins!!
Review 32:The chair was beat up and broken you could sit on it but it was in bad condition. Bedding had cigarettes holes and room was non smoking.
Review 33:It's pretty decent clean rooms. Area clean quiet stores movies restaurants all close by.
Review 34:I prefer a suite- it's a good bet for a nice room. I'd not stayed at this chain, but gave it a chance, chance the name. I didn't remove my shoes because it was filthy. You could literally see dirt around the bed corners on the bed. The air quality was poor. The blanket and bedspread were stained and going up the stairs was like entering a prison- absilutt filthy. I would have left, but it was midnigy and there weren't other options at that point.
Review 35:The hotel room smelled, I had 50 dollar hold fee for a non smoking room and the room smelled and wasn't non smoking. They even made me wait while the staff argued over where the master key was so they could go sniff the room. The room was dirty,bathroom door broke,computer chair wad filthy and had crumbs,tub had soap scum,curtain rod held up by wire,wall paper was peeling around the floo. It was gross and staff was rude in the morning.
Review 36:The fan unit was making a very loud noise that keeped us up all night. I reported it that night .Again the next night right at 10 pm the noise started again with the fan. Had to turn the unit off and sleep in the cold . I informed the desk again before checking out .
Review 37:Location
Review 38:This is the closest motel to the local airport and used by many travelers. It used to be a good and solid facility; now there are definite signs of being run down: cleanliness is mediocre, lampshades have tears, there is mold around the bathtub. My main concern was the state of electrical outlets, some of which work, others do not and some are without switch-plates hanging loose in mid air. I would consider the present electrical set up a potential fire hazard. No wi-fi in room and during the inclement winter weather a very frustrating effort to communicate with anyone or anything (had to go to lobby to communicate with airline, etc.) I will not be staying there again.
Review 39:good price, spacious room, cozy bed, room temp easily adjusted, fairly well noise insulated, staff members helpful in general, one was especially helpful in salting icy areas.
Review 40:Our feet were black walking across the carpet. The staff went from not real friendly to rude. It wasn't the cute rude, like Fawlty Towers, either. Couldn't park near our room. Everyone was jammed in together with plenty of empty rooms. My son ended up pulling a wad of hair out of the shower drain. I was tempted to give the place a good cleaning. It wasn't horrible, we had a good time. Not sure I'd ever go back, though.
Review 41:It had the basics. Microwave and fridge. 2 beds. It wasn't terrible. Some of the reviews talked about gangs. Never saw that kind of thing. No bed bugs that I saw. It was quiet. Nothing to jump up and down about, but adequate.
Review 42:It was supposed to be a non-smoking room but clearly someone was smoking in it
Review 43:Cheap hotel, the room/sheets/bathroom was very clean. Staff was friendly and quick.
Review 44:Convenient location, quiet room; modern, (mostly) clean bathroom. Even the danish and coffee weren't bad. It was a lot nicer than I expected for the money.
Review 45:Easy-access location also means my room in back was close to interstate. Ambient road noise may be an issue for some.
Review 46:This is a no-frills, older establishment providing low-cost lodging. My room was clean but showed signs of wear. Staff has always been helpful. Quick breakfast is adequate. Repeat customer.
Review 47:there were toe nail clippings on the bathroom floor from a previous guest. the linens and towels smelled. I didnt even take a shower there because the tub looked dirty.
Review 48:When I arrived I was greated by large sign stating that the hotel was not responsible for an injury to my person. This seemed an unusual addition to the typical lost or stolen items in parking lots. After unpacking I showered and headed out for about 3hrs. Upon my return I discovered that my key no longer worked so I headed to the front desk. I learned that they had "switched" my room. I was given a key to my new room and the old room and directed to move my things. After taking all of my things to the new room, I opened the door to find it occupied. It was unsettling to know they had so easily given me a key to someone else's room. Back to the front desk I went after dropping my bags at my car. I was told my old room hadn't been assigned so they would return me there. I "slept" with an ironing board propped between the door and the closet wall as I was concerned that someone else might be given a key to my room. I would never recommend the deal regardless of "deal."
Review 49:The bad greatly outweighed the good.
Review 50:Honestly, there was nothing I didn't like about this place.
Review 51:It's set up like a motel and for the price is probably one of the most decent inns I've been to. It's clean, rooms are large enough, location is great, with two diners as neighbors.
Review 52:The beds were very comfortable and the handicapped shower was awesome for my mom who is handicapped. Was the best bathroom of all the hotels we stayed in on the two week travel.
Review 53:Everything ... our non-smoking room was inbetween two smoking rooms, room reeked of cigarette smoke, had to buy air freshner to take care of problem and that did not work ... bathroom had holes in ceiling and ceiling was falling down, room walls very dirty and need painting ... what else needs to be said ... Sorry ...
Review 54:Leaving the hotel to return home
Review 55:The bed was very uncomfortable. Each of us were stiff and sore. The front desk staff was really, really rude and just overall very unfriendly.
Review 56:The facilities and rooms were clean, which was a plus. The continental breakfast was adaquate, but food could not be taken to rooms, despite very limited seating in the dinette area.
Review 57:There was a wet used towel in the shower when I got in the room!! I know it was used because it had hairs and dirt on it. Even after I mentioned it to housekeeping the towel was still there. The other towels were stained yellow and looked like they hadn't been washed, just re folded. The hallway smelled terrible! The smell hit you as soon as you entered the hallway. Also on the second floor there was a security door that requires a room key for access. It was propped open by the property!!
Review 58:It was close to my location Close to places to eat and the highway
Review 59:The hotel smells. I can't take it. That would push me to stay away.
Review 60:They had coffee made. They ran out of hot chocolate. The price was decent. I found it on price line.com
Review 61:Some of the staff is not friendly.The room was suppose to have 2 queen beds .It had 2 double beds.Room could have been a little more cleaner speaking bout the bathroom.Room need some spray to take out stale odor.
Review 62:The price of the hotel. The complimentary breakfast.
Review 63:Stairs going upstairs smelled like cat pee. Non smoking area could smell smoke outside hallway. Toilet had very low water pressure. Batteries in TV remote were dead.
Review 64:Bed was soft. Shower had good water pressure.
Review 65:The hall way smelled like animal room smelled like cat pee. Changed room walls were dirty hair on sheets wash cloths and towels were hard. For a non smoking room the room smelled like smoke. Stay away even the sheets had blood stains. Worst hotel ever. Not recommended. Worst nite ever. .
Review 66:Leaving the next day
Review 67:The smell of smoke from the outside was still lingering in the hallways because they were smoking to close to the doors.
Review 68:We were traveling with a child who was highly allergic to many things and the staff accomodated us very well. They gave us a room that was very clean and close to the exit.
Review 69:no coffe in the machine after 9pm limited wifi speed usb port hanging from the wall handrails up the outside stairs loose
Review 70:Proximity to route. good directions comfy beds and good shower
Review 71:room smelled of urine, dirty, filthy bathroom/room. dirty bedding, grimy phone in room, very dusty. broken doorknob. not enough towels for 3 people. found a cell phone next to bed, and a jar of olives? wouldn't give us a new room. hard to sleep w/urine smell!
Review 72:location
Review 73:The room smelled horrible, The refrigerator didn't close, the door to the room didn't lock had to use only the chain. The wall in the bathroom was moldy. The pool hadn't been cleaned in some time, I wouldn't even let my dog swim in it. Needless to say we wouldn't recommend this hotel.
Review 74:Location and the next morning when it was time to leave.
Review 75:house keeping could be better. Not enough towels I have two children and only was getting two towels .
Review 76:Staff was very friendly , breakfast very good , front desk well train overall my stay at scotish inn was a good experience my kid's love the pool very quiet .
Review 77:Room filthy. Appeared that people lived there. Was not a family friendly Inn. Constant complaining with front desk regarding the dwellers next to us, all hours of the night. No results! ( Stayed 3 days ) awfull
Review 78:Near dorney park
Review 79:The room was a non smoking room though it had a horrible stink of smoke, the steps leading upstairs were falling apart and the hall smelled horrible. The ceiling in the room was cracked, mold on the ceiling in the bathroom, the furniture was dusty, and chipped. The Ac unit was old and in order to cool the room it had to be down to 66 degrees. The refrigerator/freezer had ice in it and needed to be defrosted...I would jot recommend the Scottish Inn to anyone.
Review 80:The rooms were not cleaned to my standards and smelt like cigarettes. We requested a non smoking room and were put in a room directly across from smoking rooms. The hallways were full of people smoking. We asked for them to do something and they came in and sprayed an overpowering room spray which gave a few of us headaches. We had to stay out of the rooms for hours to get the smell to go away. We were not given a hairdryer in either room nor were we given enough towels. Each room had only 2. The pillows were so thin I woke up with a stiff neck. We would appreciate a refund.
Review 81:Located next to Denny's was the only positive.
Review 82:the carpet in the room was old and somewhat gnarly, Including the hallway carpet. Outdoor door didn't lock.the breakfast bar was there but not well maintained. Could have been a little bit cleaner overall.
Review 83:the staff was kind. it was a good place to sleep at a reasonable price.certainly not perfect and all ways but better than acceptable.other hotels are almost twice as much..
Review 84:The entire hotel smelled of smoke...everything was run down. Do not disturb sign was on the door but, they still opened the door. When I first got there someone opened the door to verify that I was there??? There was trash everywhere on the property.
Review 85:Hallways and stairways needed vacuuming. Room door very hard to open and close.
Review 86:Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Beds were comfortable. Location was good. Restaurants within walking distance.
Review 87:Where to start? We reserved two rooms and the first one we walked in had no tv and smelled like cat urine. They gave us another room and that one wasnt made up from the previous people. Bed not made, used condoms on the floor etc. They sent someone to clean it after arguing that it had been cleaned already. By 8 pm the toilet was overflowing and we were moved into another room. There were no coffee pots in rooms and you werent allowed to take coffee or food from breakfast to eat in room, you had to stay there and eat with the tenants that i could only guess were severe drug addicts. My two 16 yr old daughters couldnt leave the room without me for fear of these guys who made comments the first time they were alone. Do not stay here.
Review 88:Cant think of a thing i liked.
Review 89:Dirty common areas no elevator very poor breakfast and very unappealing eating area hard to see entrance at night .....not well marked ....originally booked smoking room by mistake ....which had poor ventilation and filthy looking carpeting....the night staff had a ns room which he graciously changed for me which was much better....booking error my mistake ....value for money in terms of quiet and good bed but I would not stay again
Review 90:Comfortable bed clean bathroom working air conditioning great coffee
Review 91:Our sheets had cigarette burns. There were dirty towels in the hallway floor. The walls, ceilings, and everything else were filthy and the foul odor of the room made it very uncomfortable.
Review 92:We didn't like anything about this establishment.
Review 93:Even the non-smoking rooms smelled like smoke. The air conditioner did not work, to close the door you needed to pull hard or slam it....which was very loud. There was hair in the bath tub.
Review 94:The morning breakfast was okay.
Review 95:The room was dirty. I had to wash my 1yr son feet from walking around the room bc the rug was so dirty. The bathroom walls and door was dirty.the pool is very small, are intentions was to spend our first day in the pool but could not because the pool was full, then they closed the pool at 7. went down for breakfast and they have fly traps hanging by the food.We travel all the time and this hotel was by far the worst we stayed at
Review 96:THE ROOM WAS DIRTY AND HAD BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sheets were not clean nor were the towels. the room air conditioning did not work and the microwave and fridge was mildewed! it was a very unpleasant experience! I will not be staying there again!
Review 97:the location was fair and check in staff was pleasant
Review 98:We got a non-smoking room, though the room was fresh smelling the hallways smelled of stale smoke. We are non smokers. Not a great smell
Review 99:I like the fact that guest services was friendly and helpful
Review 100:the staff was rude. the breakfast area is very small & closed-in, inadequate with 4 tables, very dirty, noisy, coffee not available, flies everywhere. many people were loitering about on the grounds; noisy. The room was dingy and dirty; the bathroom dirty and poorly renovated. This place needs more than a paint job, needs a total renovation. That goes for the staff also--when I asked where the stairs were located, the man at the desk pointed over his shoulder. It took 5 min. of wandering around in that direction to find my dirty room. Never again!!
Review 101:the bed was comfortable
Review 102:Could have been cleaner. Stairs going up to second floor were dangerous!!!
Review 103:Ease of getting to hotel. Good location to get to I-78. Restaurants in local area within walking distance. Continental breakfast was complimentary and good.
Review 104:The carpet could be cleaner and the room smell better. And vending machines that work. The guests across from me were loud all day and all night. My stay last year was better. It was cleaner and quiet. I would stay there again.
Review 105:Staff was nice good location.
Review 106:Wi-fi was inconsistent air conditioner squealed the whole time. bathtub didn't drain very well
Review 107:It was the cheapest deal round and we weren't in the hotel very long. Good TV selection Good, free ice
Review 108:Disliked it all! Major waste of money.
Review 109:The only good thing was the water pressure in the shower. Other than that it was a huge waste of 97.00. The pool was cloudy and dirty. My husband had to skim it since no staff did. The bed was wobbly and we were waiting for it to fall to the ground. The desk chair you couldn't sit in if you wanted to because it was broken and we also found out that most of the creepy shady people staying there lived there and paid a weekly rate. We saw people snorting drugs in a car next to ours and saw bugs in the sink area outside the bathroom. The bathroom door was so gross and dirty it looked like a mechanic touched the door a hundred times after working on cars all day. I wanted to leave five minutes after we checked in. I have nothing nice to say and wouldn't recommend this pit to anyone! And we found other reputable hotels in the area that were twenty and thirty dollars cheaper. Do your homework and stay somewhere else.
Review 110:The rugs were nasty. The towels had spot on them I had to buy my own. The room stunk really bad. The bathroom hadoor mold . The pool was very dirty and full of bugs. Worst place to stay ...the ceiling had stains on it the walls were filthy. They do not clean the place good enough... if it wasn't a storm I would've slept in my car.. I wouldn't recommend to anyone
Review 111:Nothing
Review 112:The place was dirty. The bathroom, wasn't clean! There was pee and other stuff all over the toilet a And in the shower. I was so grossed out! The rug was nasty too!
Review 113:Pool
Review 114:The fact that the bathroom sink only alittle water came out of it no more . Also that the snack and soda machines didnt work on the second floor we had to go down to the first floor to get a soda. I was not very happy about that
Review 115:I liked that it was nice and clean. And the bed was nice and comtable. the floors were very clean also which was very goodand i liked the tv which had alot of tv channels on it.
Review 116:Well the way the staff spoke to my friend and I was like we were a bother to them. Also, when we walked in the room there was this giant hole in the wall and another on the other end of the room. The curtains were held together by thumb tacts and the mini fridge nearly fell out when we opened it! Finally, the toilet clogged as soon as we got there from only going #1 I might add. HOW CONVENIENT OF THEM!
Review 117:The only qualities that were a plus were the free HBO and the beds were very comfortable...
Review 118:Found skittles oh the bed sheets Toilet paper not on the empty roll Crumbs on the tray where the coffee maker should have been Dirty floors Broken bed frame
Review 119:Room smelled like smoke even though it was non smoking room. I bought air freshner. Sheets had hole in it.
Review 120:Location was close to restaurants, stores and highways.
Review 121:The room and hall smelled like smoke. Had to buy air freshener to be able to sleep. Carpets were a bit gross and furniture falling apart. Tub needs new tile or industrial cleaning.
Review 122:The beds were very comfortable. The front desk guy was helpful and nice. The night was quiet and got a good rest.
Review 123:Old hotel could use some repair.

Review 131:N/a
Review 132:I didn't like the fact that the bathroom wasn't cleaned daily unless we asked.
Review 133:location and price , friendliness of the staff.
Review 134:First room was supposed to be non-smoking. It wasn't, they used 6 wall deoderizers to mask the smell.
Review 135:It was not worth it.
Review 136:Dirty hallways...people drinking in the parking lot at night.
