Guest Reviews

• mikayla (3/5): Not worth the low price. would rather pay more to stay across the street - The lady working the front desk was the only good thing about this property. she was very nice and welcoming As soon as we walked in we noticed a smell like mildew. it did just rain so we ignored it until we got to our room and there was an even worse mildew smell in there. We left after 2 hours and didn’t even spend the night. the mattress was terribly thin and dented.
• Lauren (8/5): Clean, safe, convenient, great place for a cheap over night - It was clean and felt safe It’s a motel 6, you get what you pay for.

• Robert (9/5): - No breakfast The room floor was coming apart.
• chanda (1/5): Never will I ever again stay here - Free parking The room was non smoking but it had a smell and someone left a plastic bag on the smoke detector the refrigerator and microwave was dirty food and spilled juice left in there had to call front desk to come clean no washer or dryer access no iron in room you have to call request it to borrow it’s just was the worst experience ever will never ever book or refer anyone to stay here

• Rafael (1/5): Trato del personal inaceptable - Estaba limpio y cumplía expectativas El recepcionista nos trató de una forma deplorable. Además no preguntó si queríamos pagar con efectivo o tarjeta. Directamente cogió la tarjeta con la excusa de cobrar el “depósito” y cobró toda la estancia. Además no se dirigía a mi pareja, aunque le estaba hablando. Le ignoraba, como si no existiera. No es forma de tratar a los clientes y más cuando fuimos lo más amable posible.

• Arora (5/5): -
• Roxanna (10/5): It was worth the money stood here for two nights - Clean , respectful, came to a clean room , a lot of parking N/a
• Santos (10/5): -
• Johanne (8/5): On aime toujours - On aime tout à cet endroit où nous nous arrêtons 2 fois par année. Rapport qualité/prix excellent ! Le débit d’eau de la douche est faible. Cette fois-ci, les gens dans la chambre au-dessus de nous, ont marché et parlé fort toute la nuit… pourquoi prendre une chambre ?
• Jasmin (6/5): -
• Guest (1/5): -
• sylvie (6/5): Ok pour une nuit rapide - L’accueil est très bien. J’ai demandé une chambre sans animaux et j’ai été placé au 3ieme étage ce qui était parfait. Aucun bruit j’avais l’impression d’être seule à l’étage. J’avais un frigo et micro-ondes dans la chambre. On a du café pour la route L’établissement fait bas de gamme. Chambre propre mais très basique. Look collégiale. Pas grand choix à la télé
• Brian (5/5): Satisfy with some things, dissatisfied with many others - The location was good and the front desk lady was very helpful and friendly The bed was extremely dirty. The sheets were not clean. I took photos of pieces, though I don’t know what around the sheets on the side of bed and googled it and said that is debris from bugs. And there was a fire alarm that went off that had to evacuate the room then we were sent outside then sent back room and we’re not compensated for that at all either.
• Kennith (8/5): - Got accused of smoking and almost kicked out when I was going outside to smoke
• Elizabeth (1/5): - The lady I dealt with that check-in was very sweet The rooms were completely tiny the beds were very uncomfortable it smelled like nothing but weed throughout the whole building there was continuous fighting in the rooms around me the police were in and out of there there was a water leak that happened where the ceiling collapsed the fire department was there the bed that they gave me had springs poking through the top of the mattress
• Jennette (5/5): Fine but not great - There was an emergency at the hotel that required the staff to go through a lot of stress, but the girl at the front desk was incredible. This hotel could definitely use some fresh updates.
• Miichelle (10/5): - Quiet, clean and easy access No breakfast
• Céline (8/5): Très bien - Juste du café publicité trompeuse Chambre 307 u gros réfrigérateur qui fait du bruit au 20minutes
• Holly (10/5): Great stay at this location - Location was ideal Nothing
• TriniTravler (5/5): -
• Frank (10/5): Best H6 if you're on a budget.👍 - Super clean, small room, good for one person but that's all I needed. Congenital staff, great price, good morning coffee in the lobby.🌞👍 No phone charging port in the room.
• "To travel is to live" (10/5): - If I could give this place six stars, I absolutely would. My stay at the Motel 6 Wilkes-Barre exceeded every expectation I had, and it truly stands out as one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had in the area. From the moment I arrived, the staff made a lasting impression. The front desk team was incredibly welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful. Check-in was quick and smooth, and they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. It’s rare to find a staff that is this attentive and respectful, and it really set the tone for the entire stay. The rooms were another highlight. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly modern. The bed was extremely comfortable, the linens were fresh, and the entire room felt safe and relaxing. You can tell that management takes pride in keeping the property in great condition. After long work hours, it was exactly the kind of environment I needed to unwind and get proper rest. One of the things I appreciated most was how safe I felt during my stay. The property is well-lit, and there’s a strong sense of order and security. As someone who travels often for work, feeling safe is a top priority, and this location absolutely delivered. I never once felt uncomfortable or concerned, whether coming in late at night or leaving early in the morning. The location is also very convenient. It’s in a good area of Wilkes-Barre with easy access to nearby restaurants, stores, and main roads. Everything I needed was close by, which made my stay even more stress-free. Whether you’re traveling for work or just passing through, this is a great spot to stay. Another thing worth mentioning is the overall atmosphere of the hotel. It’s quiet, organized, and well-managed. There’s a noticeable level of professionalism that you don’t always see at other places in this price range. The staff clearly cares about their guests and works hard to maintain a positive environment. If I could give this place six stars, I absolutely would.

• Jillian (8/5): It was a solid stay for the price. - It was very nice for a motel 6. I’ve had much worse experiences in a motel 6, and this one pleasantly surprised me. The front desk lady was so sweet and welcoming (Aliyah? Maybe?). She really made me feel safe there and was super accommodating. The room was basic and clean. The area seemed a little sketchy, but it’s close by several other hotels so I wasn’t as worried.
• Edward (2/5): -
