The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Wilkes-Barre East

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Mohegan Sun Arena

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Express Wilkes-Barre East offers a relaxed stay just a 6-minute drive from major concert events at the nearby arena. Located right off Highway 315, this hotel blends practical amenities with a casual vibe—perfect for travelers looking to enjoy live music without sacrificing comfort.
Rooms come equipped with mini-fridges, microwaves, coffee makers, and even video games for some late-night unwinding. Free high-speed internet and daily breakfast add even more value to your stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and this hotel delivers. You're just minutes from the Mohegan Sun Arena and close to the 24-hour Mohegan Sun Casino for after-show fun. If you're catching a late performance, the quiet but accessible location means you can rest easy. With a check-in time of 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there's just enough flexibility for a quick nap before heading home.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a show and looking for shared conveniences
  • Solo travelers chasing a favorite artist and needing a reliable spot to crash
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet recovery zone after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality amenities

Food and Drink Options

Enjoy a complimentary breakfast to refuel after a night of dancing and singing along. While there’s no on-site dining for late-night bites, your in-room microwave and fridge make snacks and leftovers easy. Plus, you're just a short drive from local restaurants and fast food options.

Nightlife Options

Make it a full night out with the Mohegan Sun Casino just 3 miles away—open 24/7 and packed with bars, lounges, and entertainment. If you're in the mood for something low-key, downtown Wilkes-Barre also has a few chill spots to grab a drink or bite.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, comfortable rooms and the friendly staff. Many mention how close it is to concert venues and appreciate the free breakfast and easy parking. It’s often described as a great value for the price, especially for short music-focused stays.

Areas for Improvement

The décor may not be the most modern, and some guests report that the walls are a bit thin—so pack your earplugs just in case. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the nearby dining scene fills the gap.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to Wilkes-Barre for a concert, the Holiday Inn Express Wilkes-Barre East offers a clean, convenient, and budget-friendly home base just minutes from the music.

We other options for hotels...

Liked: Close to restaurants
Disliked: Hotel is going through a major remodel. The small refrigerator looked like it was just placed in the room next to the cabinet it goes in with a orange extension cord wrapped around the room. Could have used a chair to sit on instead of the bed. Walls not very soundproof as you could hear doors closing down the hall.

Not what I expected, and...

Liked: The staff was not overwhelming polite or welcoming. When checking in it seemed like it was more of a choir for them. However, they did help us out later in night by bringing something to the room and helping us avoid having to get our daughter back out into the cold.
Disliked: The room was described as the biggest in the area. That was a joke. How they were able to squeeze two queen size beds into this room was a miracle of its own. The beds appeared clean and the room smelled fresh but the floors were filthy. Definitely felt like a place you wanted to keep shoes on.
