OYO Hotel Wilkes-Barre East

Quiet country setting

The location was convenient as it was close to our convention site and not far from restaurants in Wilkes Barre.

The hotel didn't have drinkable water for myself or my pet. I was told to not even shower.... I was also given 4 water bottles for both me and my 70 pound dog... The mini space heater helped... a little... Room was extremely noisy... I also got scammed for a second payment of 280 dollars.. Was told if I didn't go to the ATM and pay an additional 40 dollars cash they would kick me out in 10 minutes... I stayed here because my apartments complex burnt down and red cross disaster relief gave me money to stay somewhere for a few days... This was a terribly stressful experience.. Kind of traumatizing to say the least... Having no money, limited resources, and to be threatened to be put out in the cold in the middle of winter..... Extremely sad... Especially when people take advantage of someone else's misfortune..

where to start, this is your classic Bait and Switch they likely got very good photos to make it look nice for Booking.com but this place is not nice at all, the staff is very rude, they had many rooms available and choose to give me one with the door knob all but falling off and burn holes in the blanket, the lighting needs work it flickered all night because they use cheep LEDs that don’t work very well, I was told I’d get a towel when I checked in but they never gave it to me I instead had to use one left in the room by a previous guest and they didn’t even take the time to clean up the bathroom I know this because the other guest guests soap wrapper was left in the shower, the mini refrigerator was unplugged when I got there and the outlet they had near it looked like it was about to catch on fire and had that happened I would have probably died why you ask? because the smoke detector was not there there was a bracket behind the TV where it once had been but no smoke detector, maybe the same guest that burnt all the holes in the bedding took it as a souvenir 😔 don’t stay here you might die they really should put that as their slogan it’s Bad Ya’ll
