I found a pair of dirty socks under my comforter on the bed. Clearly they haven't been washing their bedding. I talked to the front desk and they didn't even apologize once. I've never had such a poor experience at a hotel before. I'll be staying at the comfort inn next door from now on. More

This is a well maintained hotel with friendly, efficient staff and very clean, quiet and comfortable rooms, conveniently located just off I81 in Wilkes Barre, PA. Stayed there twice now, the second time was as good as the first, and I will come back when I am in that area. Nice selection of reasonably priced restaurants nearby. Great find! More

Stayed one night on our way north. Pets allowed for a fee, and they do a room check upon departure. This was a clean and restful stop. Comfy bed. Good shower. More

This hotel was very clean, quiet, and well taken care of. The staff were friendly. The location was near I-81, and places to eat. The area was safe. The book inside the room said there was a kitchen facility that guests could use-but we didn't see it or use it, so can't really vouch for that. It was about 10... More

I have reviewed this hotel several times but it is very important to the traveler looking for candid information to know that it was not just a "shot in the dark" good review. We stay at this hotel anywhere from 2 to 3 times a year spaced out every 3 to 4 months. We only live 2 hours away but... More

A pleasant slightly above average experience overall, but this Econo Lodge would have received a better rating except for several computer-related problems. The rooms are not hard-wired for data transmission. Even though I asked before I arrived and was given the opportunity to use the hospitality computer connection to wire my laptop, I couldn't make a connection to transmit data... More

First of all, please let me apologize for the inconvenience you experienced because of our computer issues. During the last few weeks in March, we were attempting to resolve some wireless problems. I believe this may have been part of the problem with our wireless provider. As far as the hard-wire issue in concerned, I'd to thank you for letting... More

I stay her often during the winter and get a retired military discount. This is an award winning property two years in a row. Nice size bathroom with lots of towels and the standard Econo Lodge soap and stuff. This place is very clean and the nice size rooms have everything you need ...coffee, ironing board/iron, very good TV, good... More

We saw online that this Econo Lodge had just won an award this year for being one of the top 3% best Econo Lodges in the world so we decided since it was also one of the least expensive hotels in the area, we would try it. The motel was spotless. The room was very nice. The staff was super... More

Wilkes-Barre is a bit more than half way to our grandsons in Virginia. Since retiring we have stayed at the Econo Lodge 3 times, and have not been disappointed. Staff are friendly, the rooms are very clean and the breakfast room is always well stocked. Each time we have gotten very good value, not over paying, nor do we get... More
