After comparing many hotels in Wilkes-Barre, I finally chose the Best Western Plus Wilkes-Barre City Center Hotel. I stayed for 10 days and felt good. The hotel has a friendly feel, and the stay is very relaxing and comfortable. After a short stay, I renewed this hotel because I got used to it.

Hotel was okay. Desk clerk was rude to the old man in front of me then rude with me. He's lucky I was here to laugh and see stand up comedy next door.

Went to see Louis Black at Kirby Center. First time staying here, and we WILL be returning to this hotel. Ask for 2 rooms to be close together and for the first time a hotel listened and I didn't have to ask twice. So close and convenient to the Kirby Center. And at an EXCELLENT price!! Beautiful rooms!!!

Staff were all welcoming, easy to park & gentleman at front desk was helpful. Room was very old. Heating unit was turned off, so walked into a cold room! Opened flap to put heat on & flap just flew off, was not attached. No view. Popcorn ceiling. Very old worn carpet. TV station menu was completely wrong. Walls were paper think so heard entire conversations or listened to TV shows. Bed was one comfortable & good thing. Very clean, comfortable mattress & pillows. Breakfast was good. Chef was very friendly & food was good. Decor in the room was extremely dated though! Reminded me of the dining room of the titanic! lol Great location & close to everything. Despite the old decor I may consider coming again.

Shower faucet comes off, need a shoe horn to park and not enough spaces, only 1 elevator working and barely get luggage cart into it without having to lift it. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Perfect location if you are visiting downtown or attending events at the Kirby Center. Check-in was fast, easy, and professional, and we felt safe at all times. It is an older hotel, however, and we had trouble with the tv, the room heater was extremely noisy, and there were some broken things: tp dispenser in bathroom, bathroom overhead heat lamp, some of the gym equipment, one of the elevators, push bar on hotel side exit door, etc. Breakfast had many options but quality was lacking. In spite of this we would stay there again because the location and staff were great.

Efficient, super friendly and helpful staff. Great location for our needs. The parking was free. The room was very comfortable, excellent bed, water pressure, hot water. Mini frig and microwave in room. Yes, the hotel is older, but it was very clean. I'm picky, but I've got to say that there wasn't anything to pick about. Ok, the shower towels could have been bigger, but there were plenty in our room. It was quiet which was nicely odd because it was NYE and there was a big party downstairs. If you have the need to stay downtown, this is the place! We really enjoyed our stay.

From start to finish the stay was amazing. We were met with warmth and friendliness when checking in. We were given suggestions for places to eat or visit during our stay. The check in process was quick and easy and parking was great. The breakfast was one of the best I've had and the workers were helpful and very friendly. Overall, I would definitely visit again!
