First room they gave us had a clogged toilet full of poop. Would not flush. 2nd room they gave us also had toilet problems. They said a plumber was coming to fix the toilet and no one ever showed up. There was mold on the ceiling inside the shower. The room smelled like mold. Room was dirty, old rugs, hallways smelled of pot and smoke. Hotel was supposed to be non-smoking. After several complaints to the front desk, the manager discounted our room when we checked out for all the inconveniences. Pool was very small and filled with kids. Fitness center was very small and packed with people. The breakfast was excellent!

Representatives at front desk and the Bistro were very friendly and helpful. We had a family reunion and were hoping the hotel would have been a bitore updated. Some areas were nice but some need attention. Love the softness of the sheets.

Great hotel with a nice restaurant on site and a beautiful back patio with a waterfall feature. Looked like there was a kids playground area, too.

Nice property. Don’t remember anything worth mentioning in the negative column. We slept like babies, so the beds must’ve been great!

Certainly! Here’s a review that incorporates all the details you provided: Review Title: “Fantastic Stay at Holiday Inn East Mountain - A New Favorite!” Review: As a family that usually stays at Marriott properties, we decided to take a chance and book the Holiday Inn East Mountain in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, for a change. We were in town to celebrate my father’s 88th birthday, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice! Highlights of the Stay: Comfortable Accommodations: The room was spacious, clean. Beautiful Location: The hotel is situated in a picturesque setting with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. It’s a perfect spot for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The hotel amenities were great. We especially enjoyed the indoor pool, fitness center, and hot sauna. The on-site restaurant served a variety of delicious meals. The breakfast buffet was a particular highlight, offering a great start to our days. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Their local recommendations and prompt service made our stay even more enjoyable. Despite being loyal to Marriott, our experience at the Holiday Inn East Mountain was so positive that we would choose to stay here over a Marriott any day

Liked being able to gather outside with our family and enjoy dinner and the firepit. And this is a small thing, but the bathroom had a nightlight. Yay! No more leaving the light on so we could find it in the middle of the night.

The front desk staff was excellent and very accommodating. Xavier in particular. We have a 6 month old baby and they went above and beyond to assist us with early check in since it was raining and our baby needed to nap. Highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed here with my child. I didn’t know they didn’t have a microwave or refrigerator in the room which was essential with a baby. The room is spacious. There are some things that need to be updated (proof of a leaking ceiling inside the shower and water stain on the wall art). The room was cleaned once and i stayed for 5 days and i had to call down to front desk to request it. I ended up seeing the housekeeper in the hall and asked for service. When it did get “cleaned” they only changed the linen. They didn’t wipe down surfaces, vacuum or replace toiletries. The front desk/maintenance staff and host/bartender were the stars of this hotel. They were pleasant and informative. The hotel was an okay stay if you don’t mind the above mentioned. The restaurant food is really good. I had the Philly cheesesteak and wings. The stay was affordable and adequate.
