The Penn Stroud, Stroudsburg - Poconos, Ascend Hotel Collection

Love the location. Checked in and checked out process were great. Very friendly staff. In the middle of all the actions. Nearby great restaurants, short walking distance to Sherman Hall. Very comfortable beds, nice strong hot showers. Have a waffle station to make your own waffles.

Love that we were offered a continental breakfast, it was enough to get you started for the day. Plenty of microwaves for you to use as you want. I would have liked the breakfast to be available at least until 10am+ so that I didn't have to wake up so early. The staff was very nice and the hotel was neat. Free coffee/tea and hot chocolate all day. Some fruits available throughout the day. We walked the avenue a few times, enjoyed having foods at many of their restaurants. One nite they had a live band by the hotel. Every month they have different activities for entertainment. My favorite restaurant so far was the simplest one, "The Cure" it has a very extensive menu at a very reasonable price. Their poached eggs are "perfection achieved" loved them. And "La Taqueria and Del Tacos" were good too. I also found the best Tres Leche Cake that I have had in a very long time at many Mexican restaurants there but my favorite was at Del Tacos for $5.99 you get a big piece enough to share with a few people. I bought 3 cakes to bring back home. Overall, I was extremely pleased with my visit to Stroudsburg, enough to do it again in a few years. We wanted a place to relax, low stress without us rushing to do anything and we got what we wanted. Fyi, walk a few blocks an you'll find a CVS, McDonald's, KentuckyFC, Wawa, a Convenience Store, a City Pool etc all nearby if you don't mind walking. We love to walk, we are New Yorkers LOL, or get an Uber or the bus in front of the hotel for a few bucks. Seniors 65yrs+ ride the bus for free.

We both had bagels and coffee for breakfast. Large fresh bagels and good coffee. Excellent location for the breakfast room overlooking Main Street. Breakfast area large, open, and clean. Location of hotel in center of town outstanding. We were able to walk to book store, clothing, candy, and sports stores. We walked around early morning and at night. Felt very safe. We had dinner and drinks at two of the local places; Floods and Bovino. Bovino being our favorite, but both top notch. Night of downtown concert, the downtown was electric. If you like a city scene you are staying at the right place.

Staff was lovely and accommodating, the hotel was on the main street where you could walk to about anything you need. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Go visit grandpa’s Joe’s Candy shop. Also, there’s a nice bookstore and the Irish bar on the corner has delicious food. There’s a Starbucks pretty close by and the hotel has breakfast in the morning, some bagels and cream cheese, and muffins.

I was pleased with the hotel's cleanliness. The rooms were well-maintained and spotless, which immediately made a positive impression. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job in ensuring a clean and comfortable environment throughout my stay. Additionally, the hotel staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. From the receptionists to the waitstaff, everyone I encountered was polite and willing to assist with any inquiries or requests. Their exceptional customer service undoubtedly enhanced the overall experience. However, I did have a couple of concerns regarding the room. Firstly, the pillow provided was not as comfortable as I had hoped. It lacked the necessary fluffiness and support, which affected my sleep quality. Although this may be subjective, I believe a more comfortable pillow could greatly improve the overall comfort of the room. Furthermore, the room had a rather small window that allowed very little natural light to enter. As a result, the room felt a bit dim and lacked the brightness I prefer. It would have been more pleasant to have a larger window that could let in more daylight, creating a brighter and more inviting atmosphere. Despite these shortcomings, I still appreciated the hotel's cleanliness and the genuine friendliness of the staff. If they can address the issues with the pillow comfort and improve the amount of natural light in the rooms, it would greatly enhance the overall experience for future guests.
