Great Hotel with Character
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The hotel is definitely older but you can tell they are upgrading. The staff was very friendly. Love having two restaurants and 3 bars in the hotel. Convenient to lots of things (casino, breweries, stores, etc.). The hotel has a shuttle to the casino. Our room was on the streamside with a small balcony. It was beautiful! Love the sound. I would absolutely stay here again!

This is a decent low budget hotel with free parking, fridge and microwave in the room, and two restaurants on site. It can be a little noisy, with other guests, kids, etc. The biggest complaint I had was that they didn't have enough staff -- either at the front desk or in the Italian restaurant. There was a long line-up to check in, with only one person at the front desk, and we waited a really long time for our food, even thought the restaurant wasn't full. Everyone in the restaurant was getting frustrated. In hotels, these days, people typically make reservations, so the managers know how many people they'll need to accommodate. And there are no other restaurants in the area, so everyone in the hotel will be going to the two on-site restaurants. Another time, I would spend more and stay somewhere else.

Always a great experience. Convenient in-house food options. Friday not much happening in the club except other overnight visitors; we all made the most of it and had fun. Saturday the club was hopping and there was a band downstairs. Although the pool is heated, it got chilly real quick (it was the middle of a snow storm). This is great for a romantic getaway or a friends weekend.

We had a great few days away from home. The staff were beyond helpful and the room was clean, comfortable and fairly priced for a weekend stay at a place that has so many amenities! We will be staying there again in the future!

This is a convenient, friendly and very reasonably priced hotel, and I would highly recommend it to visitors planning to visit the nearby Mohegan Pennsylvania Casino. The property is easily reachable off the interstate and only a short distance from the above-mentioned casino. The lobby is convenient and has ample close parking. The receptionist was friendly and accommodating and our room was ready, clean and warm. Parking is directly in front of reception and moving our suitcases through the lobby to the elevator was quick and easy. This hotel has several dining options and the very reasonable room rate included a full breakfast beginning at 7:00 am for early risers. The breakfast is buffet style and included, eggs, omelets, sausage, potatoes, juices, coffee, fruit and more. There was also a cheerful host who was clearly eager for the guests to enjoy breakfast. There also seemed to be many return customers who had stayed there previously. Overall, I would recommend this friendly, safe, clean hotel to anyone traveling in the Wilkes Barre area, and the room rate was really a good value.
