The Inn At Lackawaxen

If you need to recharge your batteries, this is the place. Scenic view of the Delaware River. The author Zane Grey has a lil museum there & the Robeling bridge is right there & a quick walk over it you’re in ny state. the rooms are good, the beds need a lil more padding but otherwise good. the food, good prices & beyond tasty. the staff is so friendly & accommodating.

It’s okay. The food is amazing. The crab cakes are the best I’ve ever had. They don’t make them here, but you could fool me. The ny strip wasn’t anything special. The raw bar is a great deal we will definitely be back for. The owner is an awesome guy, as the earlier bartender told us they are open all night for dinner, we came back & nobody would feed us, the owner let us order whatever we wanted! Our room is okay, but, the bed sucks. Feels like it wanted to break! Very squeaky. Every time anyone moves in it, the other wakes up. The room next door has a door connecting to ours, and, it was okay until they came crawling up from the bar plastered. So loud. Their tv was blaring & they were smoking cigarettes, which I’m sure isn’t allowed, but our room was stanky. They also told us we got the only room not over the bar and it had no view of the river. But you can walk right down to the river & get your feet wet which is nice. The restaurant has a Sunday brunch which we might try some day bc it smelled great. And the back deck looks at the river which is nice. Overall, I didn’t get a good night’s sleep which is what I pay for, right?

We’ve eaten at the Inn on two separate occasions and each time was superb. Try the broiled seafood platter or the barbecue beef sandwich. The setting overlooking the Delaware is beautifully serene. The servers were attentive, the prices very reasonable. I recommend this restaurant highly.

Found this place through a friend, it was pretty much the last thing left in the area. We were looking for a place that was between Binghamton and NYC. For a stop over motel, it’s not terrible. The room, Suite 3, isn’t horrible, it’s two queen bedrooms. I don’t think the room was occupied in sometime because there were spiders everywhere, we didn’t complain because, hey, we’re from NYC, I’d rather spiders than cockroaches! The rooms could use A LOT of upgrades. In the aspect of getting what you paid for. we over paid.
Food was pretty good, HUGE portions. You could definitely split most of the food dishes. For the price vs portions it was good (example: My chicken marsala was ~$ 16, and I could have easily split it with my hubs, and still had leftovers. Cheap alcoholic beverages!. It was really nice sitting out on the deck and looking over the river and watching the birds.
In summary, it’s a great area to go and relax, site see on foot, or go river rafting but not a great place if you want to just sit in your motel room the entire time.

I booked a room here while attending a nearby wedding. When I made the reservation, they warned me about the noise from the downstairs bar, which closed up at 2am. A friend, on a whim, looked up reviews for the place and said it sounded really bad. Well, I just want to say that it was perfectly adequate. I had a single queen bed in my room, a perfectly serviceable and functioning toilet, sink, and shower. I didn’t try to use the TV, but the fridge worked and there was also a small coffee pot in the room.
The room smelled faintly of smoke — as if smoking used to be allowed and now the smell was permanently in the walls. Not the best, but not a deal-​breaker. Shower was nice and hot and the water pressure was good. The TP-​roll-​holder (or whatever it’s called) was broken, but again not a deal-​breaker. I checked the mattress and bedding for bed-​bugs and found nothing so that is a good thing. The décor of the room was… novel. But that wasn’t my reason for staying, so who cares really. My cell phone service runs on AT&T’s network and there was ZERO signal there. But cell service is really spotty all throughout that area. They do provide complimentary wi-​fi, but it’s completely unsecured.
Like I mentioned above: when you book they warn you about the noise from the bar. I didn’t think it would be a big deal since I was there for a wedding and tend to be a night-​owl. I figured I’d be too drunk or too sleepy to care about the noise, or I’d be downstairs at the bar myself. First night there, some friends and I had drinks at the bar and went to bed around 1am; noise didn’t bother me at all and I fell right asleep. Second night there, the noise from the bar would have been acceptable except for the fact that every time a country song or Nickelback came on the jukebox (both common occurences), some woman downstairs gave out this awful shriek. You know that screaming goat video? The one goat that sounds like a terrified woman? Just like that. Was it unbridled joy, or sheer horror at the music? Either way, this woman’s intermittent screaming kept me up until 2am. The noise would have otherwise left me unfazed.
So would I stay there again? Sure. The area is ridiculously expensive and my room was only $ 85 a night. To get down into that price-​range you need to be shack up with a group of people at a local house, and even then you have to deal with a deposit and whatever undisclosed fees may be lurking (facility usage fees, cleaning fee, e.g.). At the Inn, you just have to be willing to deal with the possibility of some person shrieking as if they’re being murdered. It’s not super-​posh, it’s not garbage, it’s perfectly adequate.

This is a review of the restaurant. The location overlooks the Lackawaxen river (offshoot of the Delaware) and the views are very nice from the open air deck. All the tables are large round plastic outdoor tables and chairs so it limits the number of parties that can sit close to the edge for a better view of the river. It was funny to see parties move up as soon as table opened up — it was like dining tetris!
The food was priced pretty well and pretty good. We all mostly had seafood. mussels marinara app and a dozen oysters. broiled seafood — scallops, shrimps, stuffed clams, flounder. stuffed shrimps. One of us had the prime rib and it looked really good — he enjoyed it.
On the deck they have a cool Tiki bar which serves also as a raw bar — looks like a nice place to spend a summer afternoon.
The place was very laid back with friendly service. The only knock I would say is for the building itself everything seemed a bit grungy — doors not closing properly, floors warped a bit, a couple of big holes in the men’s room bathroom. Perhaps its part of the charm. It wasn’t too bad sitting outside, but not a place I would like to stay.

This is the best kept secret on the Delaware. Awesome Sunday brunch on the deck. Every single brunch item was yummy. Great cocktails. Service was very attentive and friendly. Fresh, clean oysters on the half shell were a bonus. All in all a good value with a fantastic view. Great way to spend a Sunday morning– head to the Lack!

Restaurant only: My family and I stopped by on a spring afternoon, just before noon. The place was empty. The waitress was new to the lunch menu, but she was just amazing. Great service. The food portions were absolutely huge — maybe a little too big to be cost-​effective. The onion rings and stuffed mushrooms were under-​seasoned, but not unpleasant. Overall, I can’t wait to pass through Lackawaxen again to stop at the inn. Highly recommended.

This review is for the restaurant only. The food is really great. We were in the area and my husband wanted to watch football. I went to the bar and really did not expect much. The food is delicious and inexpensive. The service is friendly. Will be back.

They accept
certificates which is always a plus, besides saving money there the service was very family friendly, the view and landscape is awesome mountains rivers eagles and fresh air, then comes the food I had the steak is a-​1 I will be back

This review is for the restaurant; I have never stayed at the hotel but have eaten lunch often at the restaurant.
To begin with the views are magnificent all year round. The staff is professional and knows their menu and are very helpful and extremely friendly.
The food is extremely reasonably priced and I have mentioned to the owner/​waitress that she needs to charge more money per plate or give less food; she smiles and waves me off. The lunch will cost you less than a fast food restaurant and the quality, the taste and the portions are so much better. I seriously don’t know how they stay in business but it is mot my position to manage their money, it’s up to me to enjoy the excellent fare!
The food is really good! I’ve brought family and friends here several times for lunch and no one was ever anything less than amazed at how delicious the food is prepared. It’s all freshly prepared. The fries are real! Yes, real potatoes and cooked crisp on the outside and firm on the inside. The fish is wonderful and full of flavor. The hot sandwiches are over the top mouth watering. And the ice tea is made from real tea.
The entrance is charming with Victorian furnishings and there is a decent bar to the right… The restaurant’s room is large and nice, no great shakes here, lots of elbow room and huge picture windows, rather fascinating series of old prints showing a murder in progress (which is very cool!) … but the porch behind the building is amazing! The breeze, the views, the river… one can just sit back and relax and enjoy the time going by.
