I was travelling through the area, and stayed at the Hillard House Inn. Great choice. Nice location in a good neighborhood, within walking distance of Wilkes-Barre's main drag. Hosts were highly professional, but also very personable. For those interested in seeing more of the area (I used to live nearby, so didn't take advantage of this), they know it well and are very knowledgeable about the history and culture. Definitely a great place to stay. Wonderful breakfast, as well, with great food and beautifully-appointed dining table. When next I come through, I'm definitely staying there again.
