Patricia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a lovely stay

This is an old hotel; the rooms are small, the decor is a bit outdated, and there are visible nail-pops and the door jambs are worn. It needs some TLC. However, the amenities, cleanliness, and customer service outweigh all of that! We had a very comfortable stay. The rooms were SPOTLESS (I'm a stickler for cleanliness), the staff were friendly and helpful, and there are amenities that even some high-end hotels don't have. There's even a wall of newspaper articles that explain the quaint history of the hotel. This is not a high-falutin' place, but it's a comfortable place to lay your head when you're visiting Wilkes-Barre.

Let US Down This Time

We have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions and always have been extremely pleased. This time, unfortunately our room had an odor of some sort which was unpleasant. Also the toilet was not cleaned properly as it had feces on the seat.
