Best western center city

Staff was great, and breakfast was okay. But the hotel was very noisy at night. Sounded like something was rolling around on the floor above our room. And road noise from the street we could here in the room.

We had a lovely stay

This is an old hotel; the rooms are small, the decor is a bit outdated, and there are visible nail-pops and the door jambs are worn. It needs some TLC. However, the amenities, cleanliness, and customer service outweigh all of that! We had a very comfortable stay. The rooms were SPOTLESS (I'm a stickler for cleanliness), the staff were friendly and helpful, and there are amenities that even some high-end hotels don't have. There's even a wall of newspaper articles that explain the quaint history of the hotel. This is not a high-falutin' place, but it's a comfortable place to lay your head when you're visiting Wilkes-Barre.
