Top Wilkes-Barre Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilkes-Barre

8/10 Good

"The housekeeping staff forgot to make the bed one day, didn’t fully clean the next. The breakfast was school cafeteria quality. The pool area was really top notch, but could have used a changing room. I wish I could remember the bartenders name who served us dinner and drinks, she seemed overworked, but still able to make it a pleasant experience."

Mount Airy Casino Resort - Adults Only 21+

8/10 Good

"My experience at the resorts was wonderful except at the casino. It is half smoking, but the whole casino smelled like a cigarette and I couldn't stay in there for more than 10 minutes. Room was very nice but it would've been nice to have a fridge in a room instead of a bar. We couldn't even put a bottle of water in it."

Mohegan Pennsylvania Casino Resort - Adults Only 21+

8/10 Good

"Staff at front desk look like they didn't want to be bothered with anyone. Didn't say good afternoon good morning nothing be Hello. The beds were so hard the 3 of us woken up is so much pain. Iv never stayed in a place with beds so hard. Restaurants were great casino very smokey but fun. I ask for a high floor for the view they give me the 2nd floor looking at the heating system. For the money we spent we felt they didn't care and gave us what she felt like. The same lame lady that couldn't look you in the face and say good evening."

Spark by Hilton Wilkes Barre

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, well lit, large and comfortable. Because everything was excellent, I really only had to talk to the staff at check-in/out so other than, they myst be doing a great job to keep everything so smooth, I really didn’t interact much to rate them. Will stay again, and would recommend it to others."
