There are no words that can describe how awful this place is. The only nice thing I can say is the attendant at the front desk was nice. Other than that, stay clear unless you’re looking for deplorable situations happening at the hotel and a sketchy place to sleep.

Staff could not communicate well do to language barrier.i asked for first floor and was told okay, then given second floor, we had 4 people in our party, only 2 towels in room, bathroom sink had cracks in it, tub had mold under grab bar and the mini fridge was leaking water all over the floor when you opened it. Fire sprinkler was falling out of ceiling, and you could see daylight behind the heater wall unit. Heater had no thermostat, so the heat would just run, we had to keep turning it in and off to maintain the room Everytime you walked into the hallway you smelled weed. Door to stairs was propped open letting below freezing air up into hallway. Vending machines were empty. Ice machine worked good. Very very poor, I would never stay here again.

The room was clean and the bed comfortable. There was no dresser, a closet with 2 hangers and the towels were thin and scratchy. Not enough electrical outlets, none near the bed. Very basic.

The filthiest, unsanitary place - stay away!!!
This was our worst hotel stay in my entire life! Hotels.Com should remove this property from its listings and van from ever listing with them again in order not to discredit its own reputation! Never in my life have I seen a place as filthy and unsanitary as this. They must get inspected! This establishment should not be allowed to operate for sanitary reasons! The first room we were put into smelled like a morgue, the toilet was unapproachable - filthy, moldy and cracked, the bathtub was filthy beyond any comprehension and cracked, same applies to the sink. The chair was simply untouchable. The beds were made, but revealed a horrible surprise - the linens were not changed from previous guests had pubic hair, hair, eyelashes, dirt and there were mice droppings under the pillows. Room was ice cold. We were out within few minutes, back to reception stating that the room was not acceptable. We would have left and asked for a full refund, but it was late and we had to get up very early for a ski race at Blue mountain, so had no other option but to stay. We were put in the handicapped room next to the reception, which was much cleaner. The bedding was still very iffy so we slept in our clothes. The hearting system had to options to blast heat or to be off - so the room was hot as a sauna as a result. When we search for hotel our filter was set for breakfast to be included - that was a deal breaker for us. Off coarse there was absolutely no breakfast offered of any kind. Stay away!

Review of Scottish Inn and Suites, Allentown, PA
The hotel is run-down and dirty. Felt very unsafe walking through hallways. Nothing special whatsoever about the room. Felt a bit slimey. Came home late at night after the first day to find that there had been no room service. We understand that some hotels are doing this, but it would have been nice to have some sort of heads up. Nothing special about the customer service at all.

Decent place to lay your head.
An overall decent room and good place to lay our head at night. We slept great . We noted some scuffs on the walls from what looks like furniture being rearranged. Front desk took note and will address so not worth posting pics Staff was friendly and accommodating. Location is perfect for dining, shopping and catching an Iron Pig game

left much to be desired
The dresser was completely broken, the condition of the bathtub made me fear for my health. And they made me pay a $50;00 deposit. If I had not been so totally exhaused when I checked in I would have demanded another room but I was only there for 1 night. I doubt I will book this place again.

Honestly, this hotel is disgusting. They don’t clean anything. Everything is falling apart inside, the beds are disgusting they stink. I just couldn’t believe the conditions of this hotel. I was so uncomfortable. And on top of all that the staff couldn’t understand anything I was saying so it was difficult to check in.
