Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dickson City/Scranton
10/10 Excellent
"The other reviews definitely threw me off from coming here, but I’m very glad I gave it a shot. “Old carpets, etc” has nothing to do with the stay in my opinion. Starting with check in, John is truly incredible, explained everything to us & how to check out. Upon getting to the room, everything was cleaned & smelled great. ( I always go behind and wipe down every surface anyway just because you can’t expect the ladies to get every single surface how you like it! ) so it was great for me. Beds were clean, free of anything, and there was a microwave and mini fridge in my unit. Couldn’t complain about anything. Needed extra towels and they were given to us immediately. If you need a quick place to stay at a decent price this place is great. Didn’t use the breakfast option but overall this was a pretty solid hotel. Parking was open. Free WiFi as well. Would return!

"I have stayed here many times over the past few years. It’s always been very clean, no complaints. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The room had no external noises, just the room air conditioning. Lobby and morning breakfast areas are nicely appointed. Breakfast was better than average for a hotel. I look forward to staying here anytime I am in the area."
