"Nice hotel located in downtown Scranton"
Overall Score3.5/ 5
The Hilton Scranton & Conference Center is located in downtown Scranton just steps away from many attractions and nightlife. Upon entering the hotel you will be transported to a historic era with beautiful marble flooring, grand staircase and local artwork all over the lobby. If you are hungry or thirsty to your left is a Starbuck's kiosk, P.J.'s Pub in the evening until 2am on weekends, Trolley's Bistro for breakfast featuring a huge breakfast buffet and Casey's Corner, windows and historical feel for lunch and dinner or private parties. To the right you will see the front desk, gift shop and down the hallway newly renovated indoor saline pool and fitness center. The newly renovated guest rooms feature modern décor, flat panel TVs, full length mirrors, comp WIFI and refrigerators. Located on the 2nd floor of the hotel is 26,000 sq. ft of flexible event space as well as an in-house catering team to provide scrumptious menus; great for all occasions especially conventions,
weddings or a family gathering. The entire staff was professional and I would recommend this hotel to any traveler whether on business or leisure.
