Wilkes-Barre is a bit more than half way to our grandsons in Virginia. Since retiring we have stayed at the Econo Lodge 3 times, and have not been disappointed. Staff are friendly, the rooms are very clean and the breakfast room is always well stocked. Each time we have gotten very good value, not over paying, nor do we get... More

This was our second stay here and probably our last. There was poor sound insulation between rooms and we could hear the TV in the next room all night. At 1:00 am a security alarm sounded on an empty building just across the parking lot. The night manager was rude and unhelpful when I first contacted him. He called back... More

Please accept our sincerest apology... The security alarm at the mini mart located near the hotel went off. Unfortunately, it took time for the owner to arrive and meet the police to get it turned off. Our front desk personnel did their very best to resolve the issue. We were very sorry to hear our breakfast disappointed you. The hotel... More

This is every bit as nice as the higher end Comfort Inns. There was a refreshing scent in the air when we arrived, the lobby was decorated very nicely for the season, and they offered a free Wall Street Journal! Also includes a full breakfast, which we have not had an an Econo Lodge before. The rooms were clean and... More

This is a halfway meeting point for my cousin & me. We have been staying here off and on, weekdays and weekends for over three years. We have never had a bad experience. The rooms are always immaculate. Very good breakfast for the price (no meats). It is in a separate room with tables and chairs, TV, coffee, tea, juice,... More

Like many other travelers, I've had a terrible time over the years finding a place to stay in the Scranton area while driving south for the winter months. My requirements do not seem unreasonable: 1. Pet friendly, willing to pay a fair fee; 2. Close to the interstate; 3. CLEAN; 4. CLEAN; and 5. comfortable beds. It is very, very... More

Anyone who is traveling through the Wilkes-Barre area or who is staying in the area for a bit would be hard pressed to find a more decent place at less of a price. We travel to this area from upstate NY several times a year in order to go to the Mohegan Sun. We stay on average 4 to 5... More

I stayed here when I got fed up with the Quality Inn. (Avoid that one and see my review if you have any questions as to why) I actually burned about 150,000 reward points and stayed here almost 20 nights on points and paid the other 10 while I was working in the area. It is hands down the best... More

OK, we didn't need to be near the Arena. Good thing we knew exactly where it was because that location was the only thing going for it! Although they had signs indicating there was a major water break, the hallways looked like they had been torn apart by an excavation team. The price of the room did not reflect this,... More

Please accept our sincerest apology for the condition of the hotel during your visit. As you mentioned in your review, the hotel had a major water break made worse by the fact that it was during the Nascar race. The entire hotel was sold out as well as every hotel in the area. Our attempts to find other accomodations for... More
