First of all they always charged a toll on the long private road going into the resort. It keeps people from cutting through the resort.
we used to save the receipts and spend them in the resort.
What parts of the lodge are closed?
Did you stay in the Willowbrook section or one of the other sections?
What did you try and not like?
There's a lot to do in the area - from state parks to Jim Thorpe and many other activities and an enormous outlet mall.
We never liked eating in the Hotel restaurants but there are some nice close ones.
We've been going there for years and taking our daughters who are now grown and bringing their children now.
We like swimming and the water park and bowling and activities and sports.
Thanks Nancy
We stayed at Willowbrook, Bldg. 5. The unit was in bad shape. The bathroom had a nice jacuzzi tub but the sink was worthless. No room for two people to store their personal items on top. The fireplace had a strong odor of propane gas (had to leave the windows open) and still couldn't get the odor out of the unit. The faucet on the kitchen sink was dripping constantly and the disposal sounded like there was broken glass in it. The coffee pot was broken but they replaced it with another used and broken one. It took three times to get a coffee pot that worked. The couch in the living area was
not suitable to sit on for more than 15 minutes. We do a lot of activities in the area and it was always nice to come back and relax. Not any more!!
Since this was our third visit to Willowbrook I was certainly aware of the $1.00 fee we had to pay each time we entered back into the resort. You mentioned how many things there are to do in the area and believe me, we did most of them...Bolder Field, Bushkill Falls, Blakslee for groceries, Lake Wallenpaupack, both Casono's, Jim Thorpe, the Crossings Outlet and dinner out. So now, each time we left the resort and returned we paid $1.00. Our last visit we would go up to the lodge and use our receipts for pizza or at the bar for a drink, or we could even trade them in at the front desk for cash. Now you can not use them for anything other than the Sports Complex. What a rip-off. We had about $10.00 in receipts which I gave to a family when we left. The ice cream shop is closed and the water in the swimming pool looked mucky. All of the above are what I didn't like. It's certainly not the area, I love the Pocono's and the surrounding area but I will not stay at the Split Rock (Willowbrook ) again.
So as I said before...that was our last visit there unless they find a buyer for the Resort and make some major changes.
