What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 397 guest reviews
Penn Wells Lodge earns strong and largely enthusiastic praise for its friendly staff, convenient location, attractive lobby, pool, and included breakfast — with many guests noting it punches well above its weight for a small-town property. However, a recurring thread of complaints points to dated, cramped bathrooms, a shortage of in-room electrical outlets, and inconsistent breakfast execution that tempers the otherwise high marks. Overall guest sentiment is very positive, though targeted upgrades to rooms and breakfast service would bring the experience fully in line with its reputation.
