Holiday Inn Express Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (Airport)
Pittston, Pennsylvania USA

What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked "STANDARD ROOM" on points. Received huge 1 bedroom King Suite. Twice the size of a regular room, maybe bigger.

How are the rooms?
A little worn but clean. The suite was big but it was awkwardly laid out. The bathroom was long, with the shower/tub area in the middle, so there is a long walk back and forth to use the sink. Could have also used more furniture to fill out the room. Not really complaining, though. It was nice to have the space.

Bathtub was strange. Had a normal shower then an entire second set of plumbing on the side for the tub. Tub had whirlpool jets but was a standard size tub.

Rooms on the front have a view of the approach end of the runway. Can be an interesting view but also a little noisy.

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A. Complementary breakfast was ok. Standard HIX offerings.

What was good and what was bad?

Good
Clean
Efficient staff
Cheap

Bad
A little noisy, from the airplanes and also, somehow, from the elevator, even though I was not next to it.
Water pressure low
The moment breakfast hours were over, the clerk immediately and aggressively started cleaning the entire area

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Just fine for 15k points. Needed a place to sleep while on the road. Worked great for that.
