My wife Sandy and I travel to the Wilkes-Barre area rather frequently. The Hillard House provides us with a place where we can settle in, attend to family matters in the area, sleep comfortably, and have a delicious breakfast and pleasant company in the morning. The nearby walking paths along the Susquehanna River provide opportunities for exercise ranging from leisurely... More

We stayed at the Hillard House for a recent weekend away to visit friends in the Wilkes-Barre area, and had a lovely time. The house is beautiful, yet comfortable, with welcoming common areas. We benefited from the exquisite vintage mini-elevator, as I was on crutches following surgery. While I had to navigate the few stairs up to the front of... More

You're simply not going to find something in this price range in this area that offers the amenities and personal care that Gordon and Cecilia at the Hillard House do. The house retains its 1860's extra-tall ceilings and classic feel, while offering refurbished and modernized facilities and the little personal touches that turn a set of spare bedrooms into a...

My husband and I spend our wedding night as guests here and it couldn't have been more perfect. The room was exquisite - beautifully decorated and appointed, spotless and very comfortable. Cecilia and Gordon were wonderful hosts - warm and welcoming. If we ever have reason to travel to Wilkes-Barre again, we will definitely stay here. More

We arrived late but Gordon carried our bags in and helped us get settled in the Gold room. It was immaculate and beautiful, as is the entire house. The bed was very comfortable (though squeeky!) and the breakfast Cecelia made was one of the best I've had at any B & B. The house is on an old residential street... More

This B&B is a great place to stay in Wilkes-Barre. We arrived late, after riding a huge storm all the way from Washington DC, and found our room very comfortable and cozy. Our hosts directed us to a good Italian restaurant nearby, and phoned ahead to make sure the kitchen stayed open for us. We had a great time over... More

From the second we arrived, Gordon and Cecelia could not have done more to make us feel at home. This was a family trip -- my mother (83) and aunt (90) grew up in WIlkes Barre and had lots of questions and remembrances to share with our hosts. They were treated like VIPs. Perfect set up for us, from afternoon... More

I stay at Bed and Breakfasts whenever I am traveling. The accommodations tend to be more comfortable than a hotel and the attention to small details to meet my needs has ALWAYS been superior to a hotel. Staying at the Hillard House in Wilkes-Barre is no exception. Cecelia and Gordon Williams have welcomed me into their home several times when... More

Gordon and Cecilia are a terrific couple. They stayed up late for us to check-in even though we were arriving late. Cecilia made a fantastic breakfast with appropriate sized portions. The house is very well maintained, and we had an excellent rest here. I recommend the Hillard House for even just an overnight stay. Stayed in the Rose Room. It... More
