We booked a duplex cottage with one queen bed at Woodfield Manor for a weekend getaway in the…read morePoconos, and it was a great choice. Booking online was easy, and check-in was simple--we just stopped by Frogtown Chophouse to pick up our keys and finished the paperwork the next morning. Our cottage was clean, in good repair, and surprisingly quiet given that the restaurant is on the property. The space is set up well for a couple or small family: a bedroom with a queen bed, a living room with a queen sleeper sofa, a small kitchenette (fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker), and even a propane fireplace that was perfect for chilly September evenings. While the fixtures and linens were a little dated, everything was tidy and comfortable, and the unit could easily sleep four. The only real downside was the low water pressure in the shower--not ideal, but not a deal-breaker either. At just over $500 for two nights, we felt it was a fair investment for the experience. The on-site restaurant, Frogtown Chophouse, is highly rated, and we enjoyed stopping in for cocktails one evening. The bartender gave us excellent local recommendations that added to our trip. All in all, Woodfield Manor offered exactly what we were looking for: a quiet, comfortable, and relaxing home base in the Poconos.

We arrived Friday afternoon (October 11 2024) and stayed for three nights. This place is a little slice of heaven tucked away in the Pocono Mountains. When we arrived to check in, Chuck was there to greet us. He is a wonderful, welcoming gentleman. He gave us literature about things to do and happily answered our questions. Our room with its queen sized bed and adjoining sitting area was clean and comfy. We appreciated the small refrigerator and microwave to store and warm up our late night snacks. One tv in each room made it easy for one of us to nap and the other to "veg" out, if we wanted to! It's true the front desk is not manned twenty four hours, but you are given a number to contact in case of an emergency. And the guests are asked to observe quiet time between 10pm and 8am. This worked for us. I didn't miss the hundred room hotel with potential all night parties next door. After a day full of fun Fall festivities...quiet, peaceful and cozy is just what we needed. We are certain to visit again, perhaps in the spring or summer season. But definitely, most definitely again with the changing of the leaves.

It turned out to be the perfect place for a little escape and quality time together. The hotel is posh, classy, and inviting, and you can tell there's a lot of thought and attention to detail throughout the entire property. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The 90-degree pool was definitely a treat! And a special shoutout to my DY (wink) girl Natalie, who worked the pool area and made sure the drinks were flowing! She was so personable, friendly, and attentive and definitely added to the fun of our time in that area. We also had the chance to experience both lunch and dinner at the on-site restaurant, which was a nice bonus. We loved being able to enjoy ourselves without having to leave the property. We're also so glad we upgraded our stay to include access to the concierge lounge. A special thank you and shoutout to Darius for recommending the upgrade--it was absolutely worth it! The lounge was lovely, classy, sophisticated, and comfortable. With unlimited access, we enjoyed complimentary beverages (including beer and wine), snacks, light breakfast, midday bites, and evening finger foods. It was such a nice perk and added an extra special touch to our anniversary getaway. And it's the little things that caught my attention. I mean, even the hang tag for your room door feels like quality! That pretty much sums up the attention to detail throughout this hotel. I could go on and on about all the little intricacies and thoughtful touches that made our anniversary getaway special, but then this review would turn into a novel. So I'll just say this: we're so glad we chose this hotel, and you'll just have to go experience it for yourself!

I just recently stayed at The Swiftwater for a one-night getaway to the Poconos. What appears as an…read moreupscale spot for a staycation unfortunately left much to be desired. The exterior of the building has a lodge aesthetic and inside is adorned with modern finishes. Our room was a standard king sized room on the 2nd floor. The room was clean and it was very spacious however when we first entered our room there were no bath towels or bath robes. Later I noticed that we also did not have tissues or a room service menu. When I called housekeeping to request towels and robes the staff was exceptionally quick to respond and did so happily. The service at the Swiftwater is great when requested; however, it does not appear to be the default. After checking in we made sure to enjoy the Swiftwater's prime amenity, the heated pool. From 5-10 pm the pool is adults only which made the experience relaxing. We opted to get drinks from the Olivet bar before lounging in the pool and I am sad to report that the drinks were not great. For $43 I received the smallest and poorly rationed Aperol Spritz and my boyfriend sipped on a double Captain & Diet. At around 6:00 pm we moved from the pool to the outdoor fire pit and enjoyed the serenity and heat before heading back to our room to shower and get ready for dinner. We walked over to Desaki Hibachi and had an incredible dinner. The vibe was very casual given that it is a hibachi restaurant but the meat was fresh & tender and my gluten allergy was taken seriously by all members of the staff. The next day we enjoyed a round of golf at Buck Hill Falls Golf Club. When I booked this experience on the website I was told that a complimentary shuttle was available to transport us to the course and back however at check-in I was told this is no longer offered. That was a disappointment as the course is 17 minutes from the hotel and thus added 17 minutes to our 2+ hour route home after the day on the course. Buck Hill was a breathtaking course with tremendous hospitality. Overall the heated pool, walkable distance to Desaki & accessibility to Buck Hills were the highlight of our stay at the Swiftwater.

The bathroom lights flickered and kept going out. And the shower head leaked, and the other shower head did not work. The fans don't work in the bathrooms. One of the towels we went to use for body to dry off after the shower had brown stains on it, don't even want to know or think of what it was because it was close to being used on my face. Found a hotel maid/cleaner, and had her give me another towel. But like seriously, these are things that should all be double checked before renting a room out to someone. We got charged 335 for a Sunday into Monday, and honestly we should have been discounted or given a voucher for another night or something. Because that's just crazy.

(Yeah, somebody should probably make a separate Yelp listing for the golf course versus roping it…read morein with the rest of the place but, whatever) Ok, it's been a few weeks since playing here and the details are quite fuzzy, but here's a few points: First, every course should have something like the below on their website. It's a must read before playing here. Every hole fully broken down by yardage/tee box locations/hazards/distances to the green from hazards & landing areas, etc. You're flying blind & insane to not look at it before playing. mountairycasino.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Golf_Course_Tour_R1.pdf The best way I can describe this course would be to say that every hole has something going on and you, IMHO, cannot DeChambeau it here by just gripping/ripping and seeing what'll happen next. Let me help in advance that what'll happen next is usually going to involve something with your ball being lost in sand/water/trees and a high ass score. Yes, every hole has some combination of extra narrow fairway, lined with trees, water, multiple traps, water & traps, healthy elevation up or down, blind dog leg, etc. Even the "easy" ones, have a twist that's not in your favor. I'm not saying this place is impossible, but it does require thought/strategy and if you have it (I know I don't) some ability to be a measured shot maker. Unlike your garden-variety municipal course where the holes just go back and forth and a hook or a slice turns into simply playing out of the next fairway, here, if you're not straight or in the fairway consistently, usually you're screwed. The three signature holes to me would be #17, #13 and #14. #17 is a short par 3 where you hit from an exaggeratedly high tee location and the entire main resort/casino building is below/in front of you. #13 is a par 5 that's about 480 but you got trees to the right and left off the tee and around 250 yards out there is a large patch of waste land and then water you need to either lay up in front of or try to bomb it over to get to the other half of the fairway. #14 is my favorite because you tee it up right next to their sewage treatment plant. Nothing says ambiance better than a big fat nose full of summer steamer when you're waiting for people in front of you. Pace of play was so-so. They have signage and all sorts of crap out there about it, but no one is enforcing anything. We played on an early weekday afternoon and had no one in front of us until #13. Two hours to play 1-12 and two more hours to play 13-18. That's BS. The only real negative is that they push their middle of the round food/drink stop a bit too timeshare hard. Each of the three staff members we encountered "reminded" us about it and they have a large sign after #8 re-reminding you that you can call your order in to pick it up after #9. If you're so inclined: mountairycasino.com/golf/club-house/ In the end, I don't remember what we paid but it was some cheaper Golfnow rate in the low $40's that all things considered, is hard to argue with. I enjoyed it playing here but for whatever reason, it wasn't my favorite and I probably won't be in a hurry to come back. (3.5 rounding up)

Sharp at 7 AM, the roof is shaking with loud thuds and drilling noises. We called help desk twice and it's over and hour and the roof is still shaking. As much as I understand this is outside the "quiet time", I didn't book a special hotel stay on a weekday to be woken up by construction (extremely loud drill) noises without any notice. On top of that, when we called the front desk, the response was, "it's outside quite hours" twice. As if I am complaining about some kid yelling next door. The kids are up and cranky and it messed up our entire days plans coz no one is well rested as we all were woken up abruptly at 7 AM. We won't be using any additional services and leaving. They shouldn't be giving out rooms directly below construction areas let alone families with young kids. There was no heads up to us about any of this which made this experience even more disappointing. Had we known, we wouldn't even have bothered booking. The hammer and drill noise is still on after an hour and 15 mins and the ceiling is still shaking....
