"Good hotel in Wilkes Barre Pa."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Arrival and check in went smoothly We were traveling from Cleveland to New England. Also we had our Labrador Retriever with us. Gennet’s is a family friendly and pet friendly hotel and our dog was also welcome. Stay was uneventful, the room was comfortable and clean. I would stay here should I need accommodations in the future.
