Top Wilkes-Barre Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilkes-Barre

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel looked brand new! It was beautiful, clean and very spacious. I had a king room and it was everything I needed. Very affordable and the staff were all very nice! Will sediment stay here next time I’m in town."

Best Western Plus Genetti Wilkes Barre

6/10 Okay

"Room was not as well lit as advertised. You had to ask for every little thing from daily maid service to extra TP or drinking glasses. When the room was cleaned it was not done completely (one bed was not made up and some old newspapers were left on the floor) but it was done quickly ( I requested service when I went down for breakfast expecting it to be done later that morning or early afternoon. It was done by the time I returned from breakfast.) AC ran constantly but room did not feel as cold as the thermostat setting. and the outside noise was also constant whether it be from the building HVAC or street traffic or other mechanically noise."
