My wife and I recently spent the Easter weekend at the Sign of the Rose with our daughter and son-in-law. Although the B&B has 5 bed rooms, it seems letting at any time is limited to one or two families. This is probably to address the sharing of bathrooms that are not en-suite. Rooms are very clean and nicely furnished... More

My husband and I stayed the entire weekend and had a lovely time. The B&B was easy to get to (we're from New Jersey) and is in walking distance to the "main hub" (Public Square) of town (shopping and eating). We saw Seinfeld on Friday at the Kirby Center (nice venue) and we're so happy that we decided to make... More

After extensive business travel in a myriad of hotels we decided to switch things up a bit and stay at Sign of the Rose. Terry and Vesta were beyond accomodating in every aspect. The house was beautiful and comfortable. I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend. Terry and Vesta are super nice hosts. More

The owners really go out of their way to make you welcome. They asked me what I wanted for breakfast ahead of time and made me something special. The rooms are comfortable. A relaxing place to stay. More

We tried the Sign of the Rose 3 years ago when we visited our daughter at nearby Wilkes University. We have been back twice since and cannot imagine staying anywhere else when we are in Wilkes-Barre. The hosts, Terry and Vesta, are not only extremely gracious, they are excellent conversationalists, and sincerely love sharing their home (they live in the... More

We were driving from Ontario to Florida, and stopped overnight at The Sign of the Rose. I have always preferred B&Bs, but my husband was new to the experience. The house was immaculate, the atmosphere welcoming and the breakfast terrific! What REALLY made the difference, though, was the wonderful hospitality shown to us by Vesta and Terry, the owners.

Wonderful place. Gracious hosts in Vesta and Terry. They even made breakfast for dinner, as I requested, due to me having to leave for the Scranton Marathon the following morning at 5:45 am. Clean quiet room. Comfiest beds ever. Just an overall great experience. Highly recommended. More

My boyfriend and made the trip to Forty Fort to try out Sugar's Tea Room. Since we're from New York, we crashed in Wilkes-Barre for the night at Sign of the Rose. It was beautiful! We had a whole floor to ourselves--private bath, large bedroom with controllable air conditioning, wifi, and lounge room. My only regret is that we didn't... More

I love B&B's and have stayed in many. It's obvious that The Sign of the Rose is tended with a lot of TLC, and as guests, we were too. Lovely, comfortable rooms with everything we could possibly need (including robes!) and gracious accommodation made for special dietary needs. We will stay there again. More

We were very happyw ith out one-night stay in Wilkes-Barre at the Sign of the Rose. We were the only guests so we had a whole house to ourselves. It is extremely clean, very well kept, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Good quality beds. They even had a shower with multiple shower jets, and, the best part, with a seat in... More
