Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel Scranton
Beautiful hotel with unique history. Staff were lovely and the room was nice. It was a great place to meet up with a good friend for a couple of days. Unfortunately the days were a bit cold and rainy and we wanted to stay in and catch up but neither our room nor the public spaces were very welcoming ...
