My husband and I spend our wedding night as guests here and it couldn't have been more perfect. The room was exquisite - beautifully decorated and appointed, spotless and very comfortable. Cecilia and Gordon were wonderful hosts - warm and welcoming. If we ever have reason to travel to Wilkes-Barre again, we will definitely stay here. More

We arrived late but Gordon carried our bags in and helped us get settled in the Gold room. It was immaculate and beautiful, as is the entire house. The bed was very comfortable (though squeeky!) and the breakfast Cecelia made was one of the best I've had at any B & B. The house is on an old residential street... More

This B&B is a great place to stay in Wilkes-Barre. We arrived late, after riding a huge storm all the way from Washington DC, and found our room very comfortable and cozy. Our hosts directed us to a good Italian restaurant nearby, and phoned ahead to make sure the kitchen stayed open for us. We had a great time over... More

From the second we arrived, Gordon and Cecelia could not have done more to make us feel at home. This was a family trip -- my mother (83) and aunt (90) grew up in WIlkes Barre and had lots of questions and remembrances to share with our hosts. They were treated like VIPs. Perfect set up for us, from afternoon... More

I stay at Bed and Breakfasts whenever I am traveling. The accommodations tend to be more comfortable than a hotel and the attention to small details to meet my needs has ALWAYS been superior to a hotel. Staying at the Hillard House in Wilkes-Barre is no exception. Cecelia and Gordon Williams have welcomed me into their home several times when... More

Gordon and Cecilia are a terrific couple. They stayed up late for us to check-in even though we were arriving late. Cecilia made a fantastic breakfast with appropriate sized portions. The house is very well maintained, and we had an excellent rest here. I recommend the Hillard House for even just an overnight stay. Stayed in the Rose Room. It... More

Traveling across the country, Wilkes-Barre was a good mid-point between Boston and Pittsburgh. I found Hillard House on line and it met or exceeded my expectations. Cecelia and Gordon are gracious and interesting hosts. As a solo traveler, I enjoyed meeting guests and hosts. Gordon took the time to sit and chat with me over the complimentary glass of white...

Once you stay here you will want to return again and again because you feel so welcome and love the ambience. Great location on a quiet street of beautiful historic buildings, yet an easy walk to downtown. The owners do everything possible to make it a wonderful, enjoyable stay, yet you can be very independent. Generous and delicious breakfast is... More

I visited Wilkes-Barre recently for a popular concert, traveling alone, and wanted to stay somewhere away from all the hoopla. Hillard House was all that and more! I arrived well after the 2 p.m. check-in time, but owners Cecilia and Gordon provided me with their usual afternoon welcome plate of fruit, cheese, crackers and a carafe of wine - brought... More
