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.

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.
