Loved this hotel especially for its convenience to Brandywine River Museum and Longwood Gardens. Two nights here cost less than 2 nights at a Days Inn in NY state!

College Reunion Visit

I was very satisfied and pleased with my visit to the Brandywine River Hotel after an initial problem. When I went to the room that I was assigned, it appeared that someone was in that room. The beds were open with sheets and pillows scattered and on the floor and other items made it look like someone was still using the room. When I returned to the sign in desk, the representative apologized and reassigned me to another room that was clean and in very good condition.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was very convenient to Longwood gardens and the Brandywine museum. There is a great Italian restaurant that you can walk to from the hotel. I highly recommend both the restaurant (Antica) and the hotel!

The breakfast was pretty bad because of very low quality baked goods-which, unfortunately, is like most hotels in the USA now days. The cheap food & coffee did not match the quality of the rest of the property. It was very comfortable and I'd go back but would plan to have my coffee & breakfast at the coffee shop right in front of the hotel.
