Great place near Longwood Gardens.

A very quick trip to meet friends at Longwood Gardens, so the hotel was just a place to hang our hat for 1 night. The hotel was clean and looked somewhat newly upgraded. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bed was comfy. Continental breakfast was fine. Easy to check in with a key code sent by text prior to our arrival , although there was staff at the front desk.

Great little Gem, would stay again.

Love the tech aspect, code on rooms instead of keys, outside door as well. The only downside is that "Breakfast" is advertised...it's really a continental breakfast, the only protein were boiled eggs and yogurt.

Staff are very kind and friendly. They set up breakfast (and coffee!!!!) earlier than most hotels. Cute shops and cafe next door, as well as restaurants for dinner. Only complaint would be dirty parking lot, and some repairs needed to be done outside entrance. The inside is very nice, I wish it was more accurately reflected outside. I would recommend this hotel.

I like the country style hotel, small, but nice and warm. We checked in late, and Troy was good to welcome our arrival, and the location is perfect for our next day visit of Longwood Garden in early morning

There was no staff at the property when we got there. We had a code to get in and then a code for our room. Without our 32 year old son we might not have succeeded in getting in. The hotel was nice but I was supposed to have ordered a roll away bed and there was no one to help us. This was my bad but if they had staff we could have corrected the problem. During the day they seemed to have the same one staff member doing everything. Breakfast. Minding the front desk. All sorts of things. He wasn't very available for problems as they came in. Overall I liked the hotel but I found the lack off staff disconcerting.

Love the hotel and location.

Loved the hotel. Lobby is very welcoming as you enter the front door. Room was nice and clean. Bed comfortable. Only complaint would be the noise of the air conditioner. It’s loud and sounds like you are along a beach with waters hitting the dock. Contintenal breakfast presentation was nice and food good. Troy, the evening hotel representative was very hospitable. No morning representative notice at the desk. We would stay there again if we go the area Great location for Longwood Gardens and Brandywine Museum. .
