We loved our stay at Woodlands in Wilks Park Pennsylvania for five days and four nights. We enjoyed a quiet retreat, but with access to a bustling little town. The nature courtyard that is your view is amazing and we’re so relaxing.

This property is run down. We could smell the indoor pool from our room and it smelled like a locker room. The food at the restaurants was poor. It was a waste of money. The only nice things was their new linens and towels. Maybe they are trying to rehab this place.

The Hibachi was wonderful, the staff was very nice. Unfortunately, the pool was closed (even though we called ahead to check that it was open), it was not handicapped accessible (I use crutches), and it was extremely noisy until 2 or 3 in the morning.

Our room to start, pillows very lumpy, bathroom door would not close, drawers stuck open and won't close. Wallpaper peeling. We came for the hot tub which was also broken. Pool water has way to many chemicals. We've stayed here several times this was the worst. Very disappointed
