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.

Excellent location within walking distance to several restaurants, local parks, and coffee shops. My hotel of choice whenever I’m in northeastern PA—the friendly front desk staff always makes you feel welcome, and the breakfast can’t be beat.

We have been staying at the Genetti's Best Western for many years, each time we come to visit family. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is included. Besides your standard yogurt, bagels, pastries, there are hot foods daily: eggs, sausage, French toast, and breakfast potatoes, along with a Belgian waffle maker. The price can't be beat. The hotel is pet-friendly, and we always travel with our 2 pugs. The pool is always clean and inviting. The rooms have a large refrigerator and microwave, and are very clean. There is a restaurant on the property, but it's currently not open. It is being renovated as it has been recently purchased and will be an Italian restaurant when complete. I can't say enough great things at this hotel. We've stayed there at least 15 times!

I have stayed here in the past…. VERY CLEAN lobby & rooms. Next to the airport & does have a shuttle service pickup… unfortunately the driver got sick & I had to LIFT. Didn’t cost much because of the distance. Breakfast is nice with a VERY NICE fella who puts it together. Coffee & tea available all day. I will be back… the Shuttle was an understandable snag.
