Hillard House Inn

My husband and I stayed for one night (wish it could've been more) and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful historic house. Cozy furnishings, very clean, loved the mini fridge stocked with sodas and water! But what REALLY sets this place apart are the lovely hosts. He knew all the history of the house and area. During a wonderful breakfast (she made homemade muffins and a marvelous egg benedict and fruit tray), he kept up with my coffee drinking (no small feat, I drink a lot), and engaged us in a friendly conversation that included a history lesson of the house and town. I just enjoyed it so much. I had so much fun and it was a wonderful experience.

We stayed here for one night on our way to Virginia Beach. Cecelia and Gordon were perfect hosts, we were in the "Gold Room" which was in keeping with the antique charm of the rest of the house, which is furnished with beautiful antiques, there is a fridge in the room which was stocked with bottled water and sodas and coffee maker. The bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was EXCEPTIONAL, served in the very grand dining room Cecelia had outdone herself with homemade muffins a beautiful fruit plate and eggs benedict. Gordon was very knowledgeable and informative about the area. All round this was a wonderful place to stay.

Cecelia & Gordon were excellent host & hostess! They were very patient when I kept calling to say I was running later, and later, for my arrival. When I finally got there, Gordon helped me with my bags and Cecelia even found a nearby restaurant for me to get a late supper, just before they closed the kitchen. The house was lovely, and my room was clean, pretty, and had some thoughtful touches. Breakfast was delicious and served with style, complete with china, crystal, and my homemade muffin was served straight out of a piping hot cloth napkin. I had some special needs, and Cecelia & Gordon were very accommodating. My stay was for one night, only, but I wish I could have stayed longer, to relax, explore, and appreciate everything that Hillard House, and Wilkes-Barre, has to offer. I will

Lovely old house, great host and hostess, clean as a whistle with good private bathrooms and a nicely decorated common area. The dining room and food were excellent, it is the only room I have ever seen with a linen fold chair rail. You can tell that the host and hostess love this place and having visitors. Breakfast was between 8 and 10 and there are only 4 lodging rooms/suites, so they are available for information about the area and inputs as to what dietary requirements people have and what ideas for breakfast. The peach crepe is excellent and right-sized and there is also a fruit plate. Next to the Susquehanna levees and there is a great little river walk. We had excellent weather also, so we were able to enjoy walking in downtown where there are some great restaurants and to

I was travelling through the area, and stayed at the Hillard House Inn. Great choice. Nice location in a good neighborhood, within walking distance of Wilkes-Barre's main drag. Hosts were highly professional, but also very personable. For those interested in seeing more of the area (I used to live nearby, so didn't take advantage of this), they know it well and are very knowledgeable about the history and culture. Definitely a great place to stay. Wonderful breakfast, as well, with great food and beautifully-appointed dining table. When next I come through, I'm definitely staying there again.
