Recently stayed at the Hillard House. Had no idea what to expect as I did not have a good picture of what downtown Wilkes-Barre would be like. The Hillard House is in a great location and we were able to walk to restaurants and explore historical neighborhoods. The owner/ hosts are friendly but not intrusive and very helpful giving advice... More

Hillard House is a splendid, charming, comfortable, well-appointed, place, run by the most charming and accommodating owners. The Inn is on a quiet and attractive street which is quite close to everywhere in Wilkes-Barre we wanted to go, including the town square and the lovely river walk. All of the details, from the decorations to the vintage elevator reflected a... More

The Hillard House is located in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in my home town of Wilkes-Barre, PA -- the part that has retained its beauty over the years, and the part that makes me proud to say that I grew up in W-B! As my elderly parents have gotten older, it has become more difficult for them to... More

Property is well-maintained with just the right blend of old/historic and updated. The elevette was a treat to see! Our innkeepers were friendly and welcoming; very helpful for dining and nightlife suggestions. The location is right along the river, with a brand new river walk. Excellent for easing the digestion after a terrific meal in downtown. The breakfast was delicious.... More

Charming house. Could not have had a better stay. We spent two nights at Hillard House and plan to return next year. Hillard House just has great charm, which was enhanced by our hosts. The breakfasts they prepared were amazing! We were given dining places to eat within walking distance. It was very safe to walk at night because of... More

This b and b is located in an exquisite house--historic, beautifully kept, spotlessly clean. Very high ceilings throughout, gorgeous antiques, beautiful chandeliers. Everything tasteful and a delight to the eye. It is in downtown Wilkes-Barre--not a major tourist destination, except for the university, but a good way point. The hosts are knowledgeable and helpful, and asked if we had food... More

In traveling from Upstate NY to Washington, DC, we looked for a place to stop for the night. We found Hillard House, and had a comfortable stay. The inn is in a large house built in 1865. It has a lovely garden and comfortable rooms decorated with antiques. Cecilia and Gordon were great hosts and really knowledgable about local history.... More

My wife Sandy and I travel to the Wilkes-Barre area rather frequently. The Hillard House provides us with a place where we can settle in, attend to family matters in the area, sleep comfortably, and have a delicious breakfast and pleasant company in the morning. The nearby walking paths along the Susquehanna River provide opportunities for exercise ranging from leisurely... More
