I had my wedding here a few weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing. Chad was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. He is very attentive, responsive, kind, and professional. He helped us a lot with our vendors, and even ordered our chairs and the wedding cake, and allowed us to use hotel amenities like uplighting and table chargers free of cost. The rest of the staff during the wedding were also wonderful to work with. I was especially impressed when they worked so hard to fix a cake mishap I had, even though they did not make the cake for us. The ballroom itself is also so beautiful

Very nice and clean and convenient. Comfortable beds. Walking distance to everything downtown. Off-street parking garage included. Simple breakfast in the morning included. Only issues were hot water temperature seemed to vary quite a bit while taking a shower and the bathroom vents seem to carry sound between rooms too well.

Had a wonderful wedding here this weekend, the staff, service, and food were out of this world! I still gave them 5 stars but I am not sure if it was just my room or the whole hotel but there was very little sound deadening between rooms, I could hear conversations and the shower running, nothing huge but for light sleepers, it might be an issue. Otherwise highly recommend it!

Amazing hotel! The entire facility, room included, were very clean and well maintained. The staff were all friendly and were eager to help and answer any questions we had. The bathroom was spacious, not cramped like some places. On top of that, the price was very reasonable. Covered parking was a bonus too! If you're ever looking for a hotel in the area, give this place a look. We will certainly stay here again the next time we are in the area. Still can't get over how clean everything was! Plus, the outside courtyard is a nice touch.

This hotel is very clean and comfortable. The staff is very professional and friendly. The beds are really comfortable. You can tell that the inside of the hotel has been totally remodeled recently. The only thing is the walls are kind of thin and if they're booked totally you will hear your neighbors. They have ample parking. Also there are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance of hotel. Make sure you check out the local bakery Barbour's Bakery totally awesome. Everything is made from scratch.

We were pleasantly surprised when arriving at the Hotel Anthracite. Beautiful hotel and spotlessly clean rooms. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. We had our dog, Rocky, with us and the staff even had a doggie bag waiting for him.
I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Carbondale or eastern PA. You won't be disappointed.

Not starting off well. My fiancé called 2 days ago to get an early check in at noon. They said no problem we will put you in the system for early check in. Came at noon and was told the room wasn't ready and I said we called for an early check in at noon. Some guy that also works there chimes in and says that doesn't guarantee the room will be ready. It would of been nice if someone told my fiancé that over the phone. The guy also said at 12:10 the room will be ready in 20 minutes. Now it's 1:15 and the ceremony for the wedding we are going to is at 3:00 and we both still have

It's kind of hard to understand why this hotel is even in existence let alone still in business being in Carbondale but it worked out great for us on a fly fishing trip. Our room was large with a couch and the bed was great. We were on the first floor and the road out front was pretty busy with motorcycles and trucks even on a Saturday. I'd request a higher floor. We did love the onsite steak restaurant, Kol, and ended up eating in the courtyard one night and having room service the next. Pretty enjoyable and pleasant all-in-all.

I had an issue booking thru a 3rd party and getting a military discount. the mgr Robert was more than helpful. even though there was some miscommunication in the beginning, Robert personally called me right away to help resolve the issue. Robert was able to honor the military discount, even though the booking client could not. i am more than happy with the effort on Roberts behalf, to do everything he could to satisfy their commitment to our veterans and their customers.

Do not stay here!!! I recently stayed here and was treated so badly I cannot believe they haven't fired the manager for the way he treats guests and charges them extra fees. I was accused of smoking in my room and charged $125. I DO NOT SMOKE!! When I told them they had the wrong room they told me I was a liar. They also said I was in a room with 3 guys. I was alone on business. When I kept trying to tell them the truth they were dismissive and told me I vomited on the bed and they were adding on fees and then they also overcharged me for the room. I am disputing these charges and will never

Rarely leave hotel reviews, but this was a truly wonderful place to stay! We spent one night here before meeting friends for a weekend at an air bnb to ski Elk Mountain. First the parking is free and easy, a huge plus considering this place is right in the middle of town. Second, everyone working there was incredibly friendly and helpful, like bending over backward to be helpful! I'm training for a marathon and they helped me find a gorgeous and long trail not far from the hotel. The rooms and facilities were also very clean and well kept, the rooms especially were large, clean and welcoming

I am impressed with the red carpet rolled out to veterans and their families at this establishment! At check-in, Dana was so helpful with information for an enjoyable stay. This beautiful hotel in charming Carbondale is one of Settler Hospitality Group's family members. Parking is perfectly situated behind the hotel, with a strolling opportunity from parking lot through a courtyard to the lodging and bar on one side, and a conference room on the other side. The rooms are lovely. Disability access rooms left ample moving space. The decor of this establishment is gorgeous. Enjoy food

We stayed here for a convention in neighboring Wilkes-Barre and it is an easy trip to get to the Mohegan Sun Arena from here. We had two rooms, five adults.
We enjoyed the Hotel Anthracite so much! It is a remodeled into a boutique hotel with thoughtful amenities throughout. It is super clean with wonderfully comfortable beds. Easy free parking in the rear. Our rooms both had a fridge and mine had a microwave. Theirs did not. There is a continuously-available Keurig station in the lobby but no coffee makers in the rooms. I actually like that better since those offerings in other hotel

What a beautiful place this is to stay at. From the moment you walk in, you notice how comfortable and spacious the front lobby is. Across the room your in the lounge, that has a wall mount flat screen TV, along with a station serving water, coffee and tea. Also on the first floor the featured restaurant and bar called HoL is located.
The suites are huge, and depending on your room. You may have the open floor plan design. You also have a small fridge and microwave. A very relaxing room to end your night.

Clean updated rooms same layouts as former hotel. I love love the three huge sculptural anthracite chunks of coal in the lobby.
Lovely lobby seating and dining is sufficiently appetizing. Full bar, covered self parking, and centrally located. For a small town hotel it's quite nice. We return for family reunions and it works out nicely.

Our stay was good. There was an issue with the bathroom lights. There is a switch on the OUTside of the bathroom that needs to stay orange and that controls the lights in the bathroom. That was a little strange. I had to get the girl from the front desk up to the room to show us that. She was not the friendliest person. Also the AC/Heating unit. Man that was a mess. We had turned it down as the room was hot (you control it on the wall but its actually a unit by the window) and the thing would NOT turn off. The girl who came up to the room was not much help either. And I guess they do not have a

The hotel has been modernized. The Rooms are fairly neat but had a Sour and stale odor. The walls are paper thin so you can hear everything in your neighbors rooms. Just a warning about your conversations. The staff is very disorganized and almost next to impossible to find them when you need them. The staff was not rude, but Definitely need training. The restaurant is no better, there were three or four people working the floor and only 7 patrons. One server had a very loud voice and should learn some vocal etiquette. they were polite and friendly but very disorganized.

First off, I would like to say this hotel is an awesome property and very clean but the behavior of management was completely unprofessional. I was going to leave this alone until the manager, Chris, just called a co-worker of mine and left a message that was untrue and probably illegal due to the details he shared with him. I was never contacted once by the hotel.
I arrived at 1:30am in the morning to check in and my card doesn't work. I called American Express and they inform me I had a fraud alert because I was charged s little over $700 four times by the same merchant so they shut the

Hotel was beautiful, linens & beds fantastic, soap in the room high end, but sadly staff needs training and overshadowed all the positives.
Checked in & hopped in the shower quick to freshen up before a wake. Soap in my hair the water shut off 30 sec in. I called downstairs & they said they probably should have mentioned the water was going to be shut off shortly.
Tried Kōl for lunch - no steak on the lunch menu at the steakhouse. Caprese salad had balsamic glaze under the mozzarella that was so baked on??? That I had to rub a tomato back & forth to dissolve a little bit. Also

New owners, Settlers are doing a great job of renovating and making upgrades and have renamed this hotel as well. The new decor is very appealing. We have stayed many times here and noticed upgrades of new beds, linens, much more luxurious pillows. We were however shocked to see how much the prices increased. This is a blue collar hard working community - it's not a resort town. We hope prices will be affordable. Note to management - please get rid of the crappy hair dryers- they are absolute garbage and do NOT work. Bring your own hairdryer if you plan to stay! And upgrade the in room

We have stayed here several times. This place has gone so far downhill we had to leave our table for lunch after waiting 40 minutes with no food. They managed to serve those who arrived after us.
Update: No coffee in the morning, no breakfast. Traveler's tip: Turkey Hill turn left out of the hotel second light turn right, but, if you take two cups to hold your coffee they'll charge you for an empty cup.
Update: The elevator smells like someone threw up and the lobby bathroom toilet does not flush. Whoever owns this better get new staff and invest because all the local residents
