The Fallon Hotel

Decent older hotel going through a renovation. There is nightlife on the ground floor so perhaps not the best for light sleepers, I had no issue.

Historic and quaint, but comfortable and cozy. Im a sucker for historic buildings and the Fallon is just that. Its not for everyone. The building is under renovation and i hope to see more good things from the owners. Its a 1850 build and a historic marker, which means i expected rugged walls and old wood floors. My bedding was clean and probably one of the most comfortable hotel beds Ive ever slept on. The room was basic, bed, chair and foot stool, dresser, and tv. Bathroom has the old victorian vibe, however may be challenging for elderly to get into the shower as it was a knee high metal tub with a suspended shower curtain and no hand rails. The front desk crew, who I assumed were the owners, were extremely friendly, welcoming, and respected privacy. The building is in a great location, a few blocks away from many local taverns and eateries. The Fallon itself has attached night life which may make your stay alittle louder if they have entertainment. But I enjoyed the added fun. Overall a great historical find in Lock Haven. I wish best of luck to the owners in their renovation endeavors.

When we showed up to the property, the windows were boarded up and the place looked abandoned. We got to Lock Haven a bit early to look at the river by the hotel, around 3:00. They mentioned check in time was 4/4:30; however, when we tried the doors initially around 3:00 (to check out the lobby and see if maybe we could get in earlier) the doors were locked. We thought this was strange because it’s a hotel, what if we wanted to leave and explore the town, but when we go back to our rooms we couldn’t go into the hotel. We tried again at 4 and again at 4:30. No luck, the doors were locked and no lights were on. We assumed the place may have shut down, so we asked around. The main response was that no one knew it was even a hotel and that it was just a bar for college students.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Hotel is clean, but needs serious updating. Bar is open till 4am. Way too noisey.

We were put in a room that clearly was not yet renovated. Edges of walls in room dirty, bathroom mirror permanently dirty. Outlets painted over and had trouble putting my hairdryer inside. Rust on bathroom sink. The ‘shower’ was a deep old bathtub with the ‘add a shower kit’ from Amazon. It was literally chained to the ceiling to hold it up and was not stable. We were staying the night for a PSU game and really tried to just make it work for a few hours. The final straw was the smell. Musty, maybe even mold? I was in our room for about 15-20 min and I started to feel it in my sinuses. I gave it a chance and within the hour I started feeling it in my ears. Due to this, we decided to not stay the night and instead got a room down the street at the Hampton Inn. We put the key at the front desk on our way out, the man didn’t even ask questions. He knows. We later learned this hotel was condemned a few years ago and they are slowly renovating. Google it. Sadly we were put in a room that was not yet renovated after reopening. They should really have those rooms closed off. I showed 2 people the pictures and there initial response was- is that a cell?

I went to check in and the lady said the room was not available. My credit card was charged. I’m looking to get refunded for not staying. Reservations was confirmed from ******* two days before arrival.
