Tristan and crew were so friendly and informative. We took advantage of a dinner suggestion and another store recommendation too. To-go breakfast was generous. Coffee hot and plentiful. Pool very clean and relaxing.

This hotel is a gem in Scranton, PA. It has a beautiful, vast lobby area with a bar and restaurant, although both were not open, there is a magnificent potential. The room was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Best of all were the staff, who were all welcoming and friendly. In particular, the receptionist I first met, I think his name is Terrence, was wonderful. He exuded such a positive and enthusiastic attitude, I couldn’t help but smile and relax. This was a great feeling after a long day on a frigid highway. Cheers to ANZ and their terrific team in Scranton.

This is such a nice hotel! We're coming back in October and we already agreed on staying here again. The hot tub is under construction but the pool is clean and warm. Staff was so friendly. Breakfast was a decent spread of choices. Pool is open til 12 yall!! Ive never stayed anywhere that is open beyond 10. I guess its under new management and they are headed in the right direction.

My room was full of black mold I took videos and photos of the same. No unflavored cream for the coffee. I only had one washcloth in my room. The staff was amazingly friendly and wonderful. I did not complain to anyone about the mold as I don’t know how they could have compensated me so why bother.

No hot water for shower. I opened the hot taps on the sink and tub and it was barely warm after more than 10 minutes. This was 7/8am. Sabrina at the front desk told me that it was normal to have to leave the water running on full for more than 15-20 minutes to get hit water in this building and that that was completely reasonable. Extremely wasteful and also inconvenient. I didn't have this problem when I stayed there when it was Sheraton. I also found lingerie tags on my floor from a previous occupant. No telling how poorly the rest of the room was cleaned. Sabrina didn't feel that was necessary to bring up to her manager for some reason. Overall room itself was average.

This was a horrible experience! As soon as we checked in the FD yelled at the crowd in the lobby to share the info on breakfast. As soon as we got to our room it still was not cleaned half the bedding was off the bed trash everywhere stuff all over the bathroom! We got our room switched to than me getting stuck in the bathroom because the doorway was not even with the door! My husband and I were there for a concert and ended up leaving after concert was over.

First, I got assigned to room A, got there, and it was not cleaned, I went back to the front, explained the situation and the staff was apologetic and really friendly, got another room. That room was alright. A couple light bulbs were out but had no big issue. I changed the thermostat and HVAC was blowing not that warm air (outside was around 42 F, and I set to 75 F). Bed was okay. Desk lamp was a bit dirty but working. Some of the towels smelled bad, but there were 2 pairs so I used other one. Convenient location near to interstate and couple walkable dining location. Overall okay experience.

Definitely a solid affordable choice for a short stay. The staff members I met were super friendly, and my room was spacious and seemed quite clean overall. I enjoyed the view from my fifth floor window! The atmosphere in the corridors is a bit depressing due to the dark walls and dim lighting; even some higher intensity light bulbs would help. Also, the bathroom fixtures are clearly very old. I had an issue with the toilet, which I mentioned to the staff member on duty as I was checking out, and he took careful note of it. I do trust that they will look into it, and hopefully all those vintage fixtures will be updated over time.

We enjoyed our stay at ANZ. The hotel was easy to find and well located in Scranton, just 5 minutes from the downtown area and very close to Nay Aug Park. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean. The bed was comfortable. We didn't hear anything from the adjacent rooms. I would say that the only downsides are the pool area and the breakfast hours and options. The pool was okay but the spa was unavailable due to a problem. The toilets in the pool area were disgusting and only one available. You could tell this part of the hotel was in need of repairs and care. The breakfast was only served between 6 and 8 am with very few options available. The seating was not optimal for eating either. A lot of parking available around the hotel, which was nice. Overall, for the price we paid I think it was a pretty decent deal and I would book again if I was to come back to Scranton.

The price was lower than a lot of other choices in the area and since we were just looking for a clean place to sleep this was a good choice. It was clean and the staff was friendly. It does look old though and the bathrooms could use a makeover. The continental breakfast was very weak. No hot food, just bagels, cereal, yogurt, pound cake and a few other things. Only one toaster (it was a double, but the 2nd side was broken) so you potentially had to wait a long time to toast a bagel. If you don't care about breakfast and want a clean place for the night, it was good. For the price, I would stay there again.

The staff was great and the rooms were clean, but this hotel has definitely seen better days. Listing “breakfast included” as an amenity is a huge stretch - the extent of options included peanut butter, English muffins, and instant oatmeal (without any bowls). The doors close absurdly loud. If your direct neighbor uses their door while you sleep, you will wake up. The floodlights outside on the far side of the building will illuminate your room regardless if the shades are drawn. We stayed on the 2nd floor, so it may be better on higher floors.

Ideal basic spot to rest your head overnight on a road trip. Appears to be older Sheraton property that has be given a second life as a budget hotel. Overall the hotel is conveniently located just off I-81 and has ample free parking. Staff are super friendly and rooms are clean despite looking a bit tried. Free paper bag breakfast with a muffin, yogurt and banana. Hot coffee and tea are also freely available.
