Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel Scranton
I enjoyed the station hotel. It is a beautiful facility. The only suggestion I have is that grab bars and non-stick surfaces should be installed in the showers.

I must say, I was totally pleased. The room was modern especially the bathroom. The TV had tons of channels. AMAZING restaurant. Great complimentary coffee in the lobby. Bed very comfortable as well as the pillows and my favorite thing was how WONDERFUL the whole place smells.
