It's a very basic room, that is ok based on the price. Two things struck me at check in, the person was very difficult to understand, after a couple times having him repeat I found myself just nodding my head without knowing what I was nodding to. A major turn-off, as most hotels use the credit card type keys, he blew into the little envelope to open it and immediately placed the key in the envelope, obviously this is VERY unsanitary, when I got to the room I threw the envelope away, washed the key and my hands.

Clean, inexpensive, 2 star hotel

The Wilkes-Barre Lodge was a great choice for our one night stay near the Mohegan Sun Poconos Casino. It looked newly renovated and was very clean and inexpensive. Our room was missing a cover over one outlet and had a broken cover on an outlet/switch combo. It also didn't have hangers for our coats or a suitcase rest. These things were minor and easy to work around. I would stay here again if we go back to this area.

Nice Spot for a Quick Stop Over

I stayed here on my way to Greensburg. The man who checked me in was friendly and the process went smoothly. The room appeared to be recently remodeled and I it looked nice. The bed could have been softer, but that is subjective. For folks traveling through it is near a Denny's, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Dunkin Donuts. It was easy to get there from the interstate.
