We actually left at 1130pm and drive 2 hours home. There was a dead roach on the bathroom counter. There were trucks revving their engines all night and my kid couldn’t fall asleep. There were sticky sneaker prints all over the floor. You get what you pay for.

Twelve day stay
No one bothered me. I came and went without issue. The sensors in the room turned lights on in the middle of the day which was annoying. They were too bright and I had to get up to turns them off again but with more movement would turn them on again. I've never seen this...

This is a privately owned property, so you can tell that some TLC has been put into this place. It has a discount vibe, with some patches in the wall here and there, but the room is clean and has everything you need for a quick or extended stay. The hallway and elevator do have a slight smoke smell, but once you get past that and into your room, it doesn’t matter or really affect your stay. Thanks for having us!

It served its purpose as a roof over our head for a night but there was a patched hole in the shower wall, bathroom countertops and tub were burned from what I'm assuming was repetitive use of drug paraphernalia. The bathroom door handle was broken. The screen was torn. The paint/plaster was peeling in the bathroom. Otherwise it was as clean as it probably could be an having a full size fridge and some electric burners could be very convenient though we didn't need them. This is a 2-star hotel and I'd say even that may be a generous rating. Maybe other rooms/areas with WoodSpring Suites are a bit better?

WOODSPRING in Wilkes Barre, Pa.
The Good:I stayed here for over 2 weeks in January. It’s a nice hotel in a nice quiet area. There are every kinds of stores and restaurants within 3 miles, including a Buffalo Wild Wings=2 minute walk away. The staff is nice. The people staying there are nice. My room had a full size fridge And an electric 2 burner stovetop. Full size microwave above the stove and cabinets. Bathroom was ok. The room was comfortable. The Bad:Floor is all tile. No carpeting. So you could hear every sound from other rooms above you and around you. Roaches. I didn’t really read the reviews before checking in. I read them after I checked in. I saw a few reviews complain about roaches. I was wonder what they were talking about. I hadn’t seen a roach in my first 2 days there. But on my 3rd day, I started seeing about 2 everyday. I was able to kill them, but it became uncomfortable. I had to make sure they weren’t getting into my stuff so that I wasn’t taking any with me when I left. I was on the 2nd floor. The elevator button on the 2nd floor to signal for elevator to come to the 2nd floor was mashed in and broken. So you couldn’t get the elevator on the 2nd floor unless you went down to the 1st and brought it up. I informed the staff about that on the 2nd day, they said it had been like that for a long time.they Couldn’t get the part to fix it. Overall the hotel is not too bad. Otherwise I wouldn’t have stayed for 15 days. But I don’t think I’m ever going back to it again.

I wouldnt wish this place on an enemy
Where do I even start? I was greeted at the front door by what I assumed to be a feral child only to turn the corner and see an off the clock hotel staffer and her friends drinking and partying with two small children in the lobby on a Thursday night. I then went to let my dog use the bathroom and had to dodge a massive puddle of vomit on the sidewalk. We got off the elevator to a strange man just sitting there, entered a room that smelled like I don't even know. The beds appeared clean as well as the shower but that was it. The floor was covered in dirt, there were boogers smeared on the walls, feces and blood all over the bathroom walls and floor. If it wasn't 17 degrees out and I didn't have a dog, I would have just slept in my car somewhere before subjecting myself to this. I always heard about crack hotels and will forever be traumatized by the 8 hours I spent in this one.

I would not ever stay here again, or recommend any one stay here. There was bugs in our room- some dead some alive. After contacting the manager, he came down and made an excuse about them just spraying earlier that week, but apologized because it should have been cleaned up. Said the best he could do was give us some money back "maybe".I have not seen a credit on my card yet. A lot of noise all thru the night, from the hallway, above us, and beside us. Elevator had no buttons to go up or down on the second floor so you had to use stairs. Room had no tissues, and only about 1/3 roll of toilet paper and no spare. I was highly disappointed & disgusted by this room. I would highly recommend staying away from this place.
