  Charming setting, thin walls

  This lovingly restored historic YMCA building has both character and modern cleanliness, a rare combination. The location in the center of Jim Thorpe's quaint main street, which in winter is reminiscent of Harry Potter's Diagon Alley, is ideal. Just one drawback: The very thin walls meant we could hear every word of the movie our neighbors were watching (luckily it was "Pride and Prejudice;" could have been worse!) followed by hours' worth of a baby crying in another room. If you're a heavy sleeper, it should be no problem and I highly recommend the Y on Broadway. Light sleepers might consider looking elsewhere.

  Friendly, comfortable place to stay

  The rooms are clean and spacious, the staff is genuinely kind and helpful. Everyone was wonderful. We had a snow storm and came out to meet the owner who was shoveling all around of our cars to help us out. The woman who took care of breakfast had everything neat and clean. Food was incredible. Drinks at the bar were served by a super friendly bartender who told us that she loved her job. The fireplace is cozy. They have quiet time from 10pm to 8am for a comfortable good night sleep. My only suggestion is to bring a fan or a white noise machine as the floors are hardwood and you can hear foot steps. We always sleep with a fan so it was no bother. Highly recommended for a stay in Jim Thorpe. My husband and I will definitely be back.

  The best hotel in JT

  Just a very positive experience. This is a historic building that Duke the owner has put so much heart and soul into to create one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in of late. In a town that can get very busy the hotel is centrally located with parking for its customers. Parking in town appears to be an issue so having designated parking is a real plus. As for the hotel it maintains some of its original charm in the lobby area. But once you get to the rooms they are modern, spacious and very clean. No stained carpets or worn furnishings here, and did I say clean ! Bathrooms are also nicely done , bright and well stocked with towels, soaps etc. I was able to get a quick tour of the hotels rustic rooms which are warm and inviting, definitely will book these next trip. Overall the staff is very friendly, engaging and helpful. Duke seems to always be there and open to sharing the history of the Y, and the pride he takes in his hotel. So warm, inviting , quiet with a great location makes the Y an absolute 5 in my book .

  Terrific hotel on Broadway in Jim Thorpe PA.

  We were very impressed with this hotel. it is in a great location and has its own parking lot. The staff is incredibly nice. We arrived a little after 12 and were able to check in early which was so convenient that we could walk around and not have to return for check in. we were given drink vouchers for the bar in the evening which was a nice treat. our room was on the first floor. room was very nice. it was clean and comfortable. The Y was just a few minute walk to anywhere we wanted to go. in the evening we had our drink and relaxed in the very nice lobby area. it is just a friendly atmosphere in the hotel. staff and the other guests were so friendly during our stay. there is a complementary breakfast with waffles, bagels, fruit etc. the only issue on the first floor is if your not a good sleeper you will hear the waffle machine go off frequently but we were up early so not an issue for us. we were only able to stay one night on this trip. we hope to return again sometime soon.
