We enjoyed our visit last time so we tried it again! One year later and it was still a very pleasant place to stay. We used our points and got a free room and didn't know what they would give us but they gave us a very nice room in a super quick part of the hotel on the 3rd... More

After all these years, I still cannot say enough good things about this hotel. I won't repeat here, but I will add some comments. It is STILL the same people serving up the same quality work in all aspects with even more improvements. There's a lot to be said when there is no employee turnover from housekeeping to management.

I stayed at the Econo Lodge Arena twice within one month. Both times were really pleasant. In comparison to other hotels in the same area, it is cheaper and offers accomodations that are as clean and pleasant as others. The registration was easy. The members of staff were pleasant and helpful. The breakfasts were quite good considering they were included... More

We stayed here while going to a family funeral, and the folks were all very nice here, as well as being very efficient, and quick. The room was very nice, clean, and no overly cloying smell like some other properties. The housekeeping staff was courteous, and did a great job,with a few exceptions. Breakfast was very nice, and kept stocked... More

Don't really have a lot to add as others have done a great job of describing this property. I will just say it's the best Econo Lodge I've stayed at and I enjoyed the way the property seems to really be involved with the area activities and attractions. The little rubber ducky was a nice touch (if you stay you... More

Normally we don't book Econo Lodge based on some negative past experiences with this particular chain of motels. But this particular Econo Lodge had several positive TripAdvisor reviews, the room rate was good, and it was in an area that fit our trip agenda. We arrived late in the evening and were happy to find the rooms were clean, comfortable,... More

Stayed for 1 night when I was out in Wilkes Barre for some business. Got there earlier than I usually do, around noon, so I was worried that I couldn't check in until later. Not a problem at all, checked me right in and got a great rate through a highway hotel flyer. 3rd floor smoking room was big, with... More
