Top hotels in Petersburg
Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel Scranton
I enjoyed the station hotel. It is a beautiful facility. The only suggestion I have is that grab bars and non-stick surfaces should be installed in the showers.

Courtyard by Marriott Scranton Montage Mountain
The room felt too small for a suite, and finding a dirty towel didn’t help—those issues influenced the rating I gave.

Best Western Plus Wilkes Barre Center City
I must say, I was totally pleased. The room was modern especially the bathroom. The TV had tons of channels. AMAZING restaurant. Great complimentary coffee in the lobby. Bed very comfortable as well as the pillows and my favorite thing was how WONDERFUL the whole place smells.
