Hotel berhampiran Pioneer Tunnel - Henry Clay Train Ride Terminus, Schuylkill County

My wife, 2 young children, and I stayed at this hotel for the first time on October 7th thru the 9th of 2023. We typically stay in the Frackville area when we go to Knobels to shorten our daily drive times. This hotel is conveniently located behind a Cracker Barrel Restaurant which we tend to frequent when in this area. Overall, this hotel is nice if you simply need a comfortable place to sleep and I would go there again. Pros: -Staff was friendly -Clean rooms and hotel -The area it is in is scenic and peaceful -Well-lit parking lot and plenty of spaces -Wifi worked well -Large place for luggage -Good size room, was able to put a full-size pack and play between the beds, but had a few other options too -Was able to slightly accommodate a late checkout time with rewards status -I could be wrong, but it appeared like they had a washer/dryer in the hallway for guest use, which would be a great option if for some reason we needed it -Dove soaps! Cons: -The bathroom in the double queen room was a little smaller than I would have liked. The swing of the door basically touches the toilet so you have to kind of squeeze into the bathroom. Not really an issue unless you have kids constantly opening the door and running in and out (like we do), but still not the end of the world. -We stayed in room 215 and there was a constant sound that I believe is related to everyone else's use of the water. It stopped (mostly) after 1am, but if you are a light sleeper, this would be very annoying. Again, not the end of the world, but a warning (or possible discount) for this room would have been nice. Neutral: -Tiny trash cans, so bring some extra trash bags if you have more than a little trash (kind of typical of some hotels though) -Management posted signs everywhere about the new toilets, blinds, no smoking/pets, deliveries, and other things that seemed a bit excessive but honestly, I understood why the signs were there so it didn't bother me in particular -There was no view in the room we stayed in, there was a window with a part of the building blocking everything 100%, but I was not there to look out the window (lol) -No pool (bummer for the kids, but whatever it was very cold outside anyway) -Doors to room were not loud to close like many other hotels, however did not seem to shut as tightly. This is nice if you don't want to wake the kids and need to exit the room. However, the toilet flusher is loud. -Hated the pillows, but I am a bit particular about pillows. I like a firm pillow.

Travelling out to see a customer worksite and had the pleasure of working with Teddy and Lorelis both at the front desk. Teddy helped me take care of my caffeine fix with a quick purchase and brief conversation from the nearby selection. Lorelis helped my team and I with some dinner choices, but also helped me get a late check out so that I could clean up before my flights home. Rooms were clean and orderly and I appreciated the welcome note from Emilya as well! Thanks for the attention and care for my stay!
