Mixed but frequently praised: several guests explicitly call out excellent, helpful staff and easy check-in (one cites '10/10' customer service); issues with an unmanned desk and one rude clerk are reported but many interactions were highly positive.

10
Strongly positive: repeatedly described as a good/great spot near shopping, dining and convenient for events (concert), with easy access and good parking.

Mixed to poor: some notes of a comfortable bed and an efficiency-style layout, but overshadowed by smells, visible stains, overall dirtiness and at least one serious safety incident (unexpected occupant in room).

Checked in, was given room key, unlocked room door only to find another man asleep in the bed. Super unsafe place. I’ve now been fighting for a refund for 2 days.

Pros:

Staff wasn't at the table or even near the entrance, found the desk concierge talking with people outside the building. Outside smelled like smoke. Inside smelled even worse, yet somehow the lobby was OK. The room smelled even worse. The building looked relatively new yet somehow the cleanliness left it falling like i stepped into a 60 year old bronx apartment building. I suppose this was why the price was so low. I would only consider staying here again with my family if these things were taken care of first otherwise i won't be staying here again.

Pros:

When the clerk took a copy of my identification she remarked that i looked much older than the picture on my id. I felt insulted and said so. She said it was a joke then said i was rude and threatened to not let me stay.

Place to sta
Pros:

The WoodSpring Suites in Wilkes-Barre is an acceptable place to stay near a wealth of shopping and dining. If planning an extended stay, I don't know if there are more amenities for the unit. For example, although there is a microwave, refrigerator, and a couple of electric burners, there were no utensils and cookware for cooking, no silverware or plates and glasses and not even cups of any kind to drink from. The room's overhead light was sufficient and the bed was comfortable.

DON'T COME HERE....DISGUSTING!
Pros:

This property is being rented out to welfare recipients by the month. It's filthy, stinks like weed, cigarette smoke. The front desk is not manned 70% of the time. Constant babies crying, children unsupervised 24/7. This place is a disaster. We prepaid for 4 nights but left after 36 hours. We are in our 60's and need our sleep. Save yourself trauma and find a better place to stay. If you're seeking out dirty, sticky floors, surfaces you don't want to touch, loud noises 24/7, unsupervised children, then this is your place to go.

Pros:

The staff was wonderful customer service was a 10/10 but the actual hotel was dirty. When we got to our floor the smell in the hallway was disgusting. There was a Kitchenette yes, but there were no cabinets and no plates cups silverware! Literally nothing. The sink, bathtub, and walls were all stained. Would never go back.
