Top Scranton Hotel Reviews

Mount Airy Casino Resort - Adults Only 21+

Mount Airy Casino Resort - Adults Only 21+

10/10 Excellent
"Pros: The King suite is great, furniture and lighting was a plus too. The room bathroom size was awesome with it having a big tub separated from the shower. The staff was very helpful and professional, never had an issue. The pool/casino/restaurants was 10/10 and will come again. Cons: If you don’t like the smell of cigarettes then be prepared when entering the casino as if it’s caked in the walls. No hate on who does it but it is the main thing that stands out. Me having the King Suite and told it would be a charge for a refrigerator PER DAY is insane. The TVs in the room are outdated with like a 2005-10 setup almost like OG comcast BUT you gotta pay to watch stuff as well. Main issue is there are many Hidden Fees at this place and for my first time at a place like this it’s helpful to spread awareness. "
