Great Place to Stay
Hubby and I stayed a weekend in their Executive Suite that was equipped with a gas fireplace and a jetted tub. The accomodations were lovely! The front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful!

Excellent place to stay
The hotel & staff were amazing, very helpful finding a place to grab a snack before going to Longwood Gardens. Choices for breakfast were very good. We were lucky with getting their handicap accessible room. Book early if you need it, they have only one. There is a fireplace in the sitting area near the reception desk & another in the breakfast lounge.
We would definitely stay there again.

Very cute and welcoming
The place was very cute and felt welcoming. The fireplace was running in the sitting area and cooking were ready to eat. They had a nice Continental breakfast. Definitely on our favorites list. We could not find the heat and air conditioning control in the room though.

Great find
Great find for an overnight stay while visiting Longwood gardens. Close to Longwood and the Brandywine museum.Room was clean, beds comfortable, continental breakfast good. I reserved 2 rooms and they kindly gave us adjoining rooms. The TV in one room didn't work but it was not an issue for us. Would recommend staying here.

Bed needs work, not comfortable because you roll into the center hole. Mattress needs replacement. Had to wait for coffee to be made and then it was so weak it was undrinkable.

Good, clean, but no microwave etc.
Good experience. Clean room. I suggest having a microwave and coffee machine and ice bucket in each room. Also, the fridge didn’t have a freezer section.

Loved this hotel
It’s not the Taj Mahal but combines a wonderfully quaint and warm atmosphere with a clean room. Room was a bit small but offered a beautiful bed, love seat and surprisingly a gas fireplace that was fully operational!
The complimentary breakfast was great and filled us up for the long drive home.
THANK YOU Brandywine River, you were awesome.
