First, when I say I'd recommend to a friend, I would only recommend to certain friends, who have the same easy-going attitude towards motels. This is not a deluxe lodging, things are minimal (we all laughed when the 'limited equipment' kitchen contained standard appliances but not a plate, eating utensil or cooking utensil to be had) but CLEAN. Furnishings are old, fixtures are old, but again, clean. The rooms are spacious - a front room with bed, couch, table and chairs, TV and a back bedroom with bed and TV. The free wi-fi worked, but only in the front room. We never felt uncomfortable (I figured out how to lock that sliding door), the price was as quoted, the staff pleasant. Breakfast was standard fare, although hot waffles appeared on the weekend. All in all, we enjoyed the peaceful setting and although we only ended up here because virtually all the rooms in Wilkes-Barre were taken up by a convention, we were glad we had. There were convenient fast food/gas stations at the Turnpike/Interstate interchange, and we found a good restaurant just two miles down the road. It's plain, in need of some TLC, but for the price, it filled our needs quite nicely and we'd return.
