After another hotel in the area cancelled my reservation, I ended up here for a quick overnight to get some sleep. It was a last minute booking and maybe some of the other rooms are ok, but 217 is in the back section of the hotel. Listing did not specify if it was a smoking or non smoking room. Cigarette holes in the bedding, heavy cigarette smell, secondary safety lock broken on the door. Old air conditioners sitting on the walkway outside, rust from the upstairs walkway on the lower walkway, shopping carts on another area of the walkway. IMO the hotels.com rating and the price point are not deserved

The Wilkes-Barre Lodge exceeded all of my expectations. It was extremely clean and well kept. The area around the hotel was not great, but otherwise a very comfortable stay.

Great Stay at Wilkes-Barre Lodge! I had a wonderful experience at the Wilkes-Barre Lodge Hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and check-in was quick and easy. My room was clean, comfortable, and quiet—perfect for a restful night. The location is convenient, with easy access to local shops and restaurants. Great value for the price.

Won't stay here again.

This is the only place in my three years of traveling to copy my driver's license. When I asked for it back in the morning. They need to join the 21st century and simply put a security on the credit card. The configuration was also bizarre. Our room number 112 was actually on the second floor. The really sad part was the "adult" store sign view from the room. It was huge ...

What A Total Failure

Definitely would've done better sleeping in my car, or putting out the cash for a better hotel. Tried to save but really didnt. Had to pay $30 to check in before 3pm which regular hotels do as a convenience IF your room is ready. The beds are hard and not.comfortable at all. The heater was super loud so had to let it run for awhile then turn it off to hear the tv or get sleep. The pillows like 1/2 inch slabs of foam. No coffee or coffee makers in room or lobby. And the residents that live here are loud, drunks and who knows what else. Stay away if at all possible. Ill be posting this review on Google as well. The upload button wouldnt let me put a video of the heater screaming when I turned it back on this morning when I woke up freezing.

It's a very basic room, that is ok based on the price. Two things struck me at check in, the person was very difficult to understand, after a couple times having him repeat I found myself just nodding my head without knowing what I was nodding to. A major turn-off, as most hotels use the credit card type keys, he blew into the little envelope to open it and immediately placed the key in the envelope, obviously this is VERY unsanitary, when I got to the room I threw the envelope away, washed the key and my hands.
