Hotel Anthracite

Great location away from the main tourist trails, perfect for exploring east Pennsylvania and west New York State …

Pros: Clean and comfortable facilities, easy covered parking, great location for exploring west Pennsylvania and west New York State. Friendly staff.

Pros: Staff was very welcoming. Room was clean and nice decor throughout. Very posh looking. A nice courtyard.

Cons: The room walls were quite thin so could hear every word from the next room. The breakfast is like all other hotels. Egg omelette and sausages. No vegetables.

Pros: Good price for a night. Clean room, beds, and bathroom. Good and variety of breakfast. Thanks.

We found a gem

Pros: A very comfortable and clean room, exceptionally helpful and friendly staff members, a cozy bar/restaurant, an easy parking. A lovely hotel with historical photos throughout. A great location to break up our long drive.

Great value for the price!

Pros: Very nice hotel and spacious room. We came down at about 9:45 for breakfast and the gentleman said good morning and told us he was bringing out more food. He kept the food and coffee refreshed until past 10 am. Friendly staff and very nice hotel. Things were closed because it was Christmas but there was a cute Christmas tree walk that businesses in the area sponsored and decorated each of their own trees. Really cute! Will definitely stay here again when we are visiting my bf's family for Christmas!

Cons: I wish we could have figured out how to get live TV working but we ended up watching a movie.

Other than the Apple TV, everything was fantastic, we would stay stay there again. Thanks guys.

Pros: Awesome staff. Greg at the front desk was great. Room was nice. Shower was superb. Breakfast was fantastic.

Cons: Apple TV was horrible. The other guests I talked to also said that nobody knows how to use them. They need to go. Too complicated.

Excellent hotel and staff. Very comfortable and convenient

Pros: The location was excellent. It was directly off highway 6 and 1/2 way mark between the Scranton airport and the location where I was working. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the room was clean. The staff were easily assessable for questions and were extremely helpful. They were working on transitioning to Apple TV during my stay and I was unable to watch however this did not affect me in anyway. I preferred the quiet and the ability to rest. There were some great places to eat close by (Alexanders was terrific- I went twice. McDonnells Restaurant was within walking distance of a couple of buildings was very reasonably priced and nostalgic). The free hotel breakfast was a grade up from other hotels where I've stayed. They had great french toast and coffee! I did not try the other options. I highly recommend the hotel and would choose this hotel again in the future if in the area.

Cons: The breakfast started a little later than I preferred. It started at 7 am which is when I had to leave for work. Otherwise I was very satisfied and have no complaints.

We were visiting relatives in Carbondale and this is the only hotel in Carbondale.

Pros: Breakfast was the same for all 4 days. Consistent yet boring. Omelets and pancakes were not home made.

Cons: The hotel recently changed over to Apple TV. I was not familiar with this technology and couldn't get the TV to work. Front staff tried to help but couldn't send someone up to the room to assist. I finally pressed enough buttons to get the TV to work.

Delightful stay

Pros: Breakfast was really good, great central location, staff very helpful and room spacious

Cons: Pillows were too bulky and firm for us that’s all

Pros: Breakfast was good but not exceptional. It was very convenient so glad you have it. It's a beautiful hotel and was glad I stayed there.

Cons: I would have stayed two nights but the price for Saturday was jacked up over twice I think what I paid for Friday.
