We enjoyed our stay. Check-in was pleasant. The beds were very comfortable. The room temperature was perfect, as the HVAC was off...I love a cool room for sleeping. We stayed on a Thursday night and it was so nice and quiet. The breakfast area was beautiful.

Immaculate Property/Great Staff

I highly recommend this property to travelers to Wilkes-Barre, PA. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are immaculate. And breakfast is delicious. My traveling companion and I stayed here twice within ten days when we traveled from Florida to Maine and back, and if/when I make the trip again, I will once again reserve a room at this BW Plus hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We had three rooms booked for our one-night stay to attend my wife's graduation. I alerted the front desk upon our departure about each room's issues and needed maintenance. One room had a toilet that leaked at the base. Another had a clogged (slow draining) sink, and despite being listed as non-smoking, smelled of cigarettes. The third smelled strongly of mildew. On the upside, the front desk staff were courteous and responsive. The breakfast was good.

Overall, the stay and staff were nice, EXCEPT: my wife and I were having breakfast at the dining room this morning when the maitre d' put on a christian evangelist sermon on the TV for everyone to see and hear. It was highly inappropriate and offensive. We promptly left. I took the tip I was going to leave with me. There was also a lot of cigarette smoke smell in various areas of the motel throughout our stay.

Quick family trip

This was a short getaway. The hotel was very quiet and the staff was super helpful and friendly. The pool area was very clean and quiet even though it's in town. The breakfast was good and the staff kept it well stocked.
