Detailed Reviews
I wanted to find an inexpensive place to stay for just one night. I wanted somplace close to the Oaks Ice Center where our grandson was playing in a tournament. This place seemed to fit the bill, other places were way too expensive for just one night, or had no onsite parking. I guess we should have realized it wasnt a real hotel so to speak, beacuse we were kind of worried when we pulled into the campus. We were greeted by a nice desk person who happened to be the father of the manager who worked part time. He let us check in at 10am. He also informed us our room had no TV, but he could get one if we wanted..we declined. Good things: Wireless was free, my daughter, staying in King of Prussia, had to pay $15 if they wanted wireless. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, close to Phoenixville and ice rink. We went out exploring, went to grandsons game (rink 3 miles away) and it was 9pm before we got home. So we didnt care if we had a TV or not. Quiet quiet place...no traffic just a pretty spot. Got up early and left at 7:30. Things normal people may care about... Two very small pillows, but Im sure we could have asked for more, lots of towels, but only one big one....no light overhead in shower. We are used to RVing so this was fine for us. If you are looking for regular hotel ammenities, its not for you. If you want a clean bed to sleep in, in a convenient place, its great. If I thought we would be back in the area again, I would def use it as a base spot. We didnt get to Valley Forge park, but it also was only about 3-4 miles away.

We needed to spend a couple of nights in the Philadelphia area, and other places in the vicinity were over budget or too dodgy, so we picked the Conference Center and got a spacious room with a double bed for about $100. It was squeaky clean, almost eerily quiet. Perfectly adequate if you just need a place to crash and don't mind a smaller bed. Lighting in the bathroom was inadequate, IMO, so I shaved by sense of touch. As others have mentioned, there is no TV or refrigerator in the room. This is run by some sort of church group - if you're connected, you can apparently get a room for $40/night (I overheard an insider making a reservation for a family member when we were checking in). It's a wildly good deal for $40, but just a fair deal for $100. I have certainly gotten less value for $100, but I've also gotten more in some locations. I'll give it an "OK".

My daughter and I were in the area for a softball tournament. We searched booking.com to get a decent place to stay at a decent price.
The location was clean and quiet. So quiet, that we didn't even see another human being there. There was nobody at the front desk for check-in or check-out. (They left the keys on the desk in an envelope with my name on it and then you drop them in a basket on the desk when you check out.)
The property is absolutely beautiful! The front porch of the main building was beautiful and so picturesque!
The drawbacks....aside from feeling like we were removed from everyone else on earth ... there was no tv and no refrigerator in the room. I think a small mini-fridge in a room is standard anymore. The tv....well, it would have been nice to have a tv.
This is a great place for couples who are looking for a retreat. It's very quiet and clean. It's in a great location, not too far from Valley Forge National Park.
If you're looking for a place to stay for the night with family, kids or a teenager....keep looking.

I rented a room at this hotel going by what others had stated on reviews as well as the beautiful scenery on the photos. We arrived by 9:40 and there was no one at the desk (the website states someone is there from 8AM - 10PM, we found an envelope with our name and proceeded to our room. The room was clean but it appeared that the crew rushed through. The fact that there was no TV didn't bother me, but my husband was a bit upset. Even the shabbiest room I stayed in over in Holbrook, Arizona had a microwave, TV and frig. Anyway, the bathroom had no towels. I went back to the main desk to call the night manager on duty (there were no phones in the room either) and the person didn't answer, so I left a message. We waited about an hour before finally turning in for the night- still having no towels. It's very difficult to wash your face with tissues! There were no cups in the room as well. We wanted to take showers the next morning- couldn't do that either! We left about 9AM the next morning, hoping to speak with someone at the desk- there was no one there! It's very difficult to register a complaint or get any kind of help when there is no one available to speak with. When I got home, I emailed them and, surprisingly enough, received no response. I would really like to know why the night manager was slacking off? We spent well over $100 dollars for this room so the fact that we had a horrible experience and had no one to speak to or get a response from management is upsetting; not the way to run a hotel! I am usually very tolerant, but even I was upset upon our departure. I also found out later that the doors lock automatically at 10 PM- thank heavens we arrived when we did or we would not have been able to even get in the building. Beware of when you arrive and leave - who knows if anyone is even aware you are in the building.

Let's clarify something. This is NOT the conference center at the Valley Forge Casino. This is a small 50 room hotel on land owned by the Valley Forge Bible College in Phoenixville, PA just off of Valley Forge Rd.
This is a wonderful place for families, corporate retreats, non-profit groups, & school groups. This is a place that hasn't forgotten the essence of what hospitality truly means.
Sadly, my sister died in January. She was a popular choir director and her school held a memorial concert in her honor. I needed to find a hotel for about 20 family members to stay during the concert weekend. I also wanted a facility where we could have our own memorial service before the concert, as well as host a small brunch for about 40 people.
We are a group of fairly progressive Jews. I really was not sure a conference center in the middle of a Christian bible college would be the right place for us, but I was equally sure that we wanted a quiet, modest place where friends and family could gather, celebrate the life of my sister and spend lots of good quality time together. So I called the folks at The Valley Forge Conference Center (which is now professionally managed by Sodexho) and they convinced that we would be comfortable there.
Our weekend at the conference center was exactly what I had hoped it would be. The facility has lots of comfortable common area space where friends and family could gather, hang out, talk and drink coffee and tea. There is a living room space in the lobby, as well as a cozy cafe space on the lower level, which we used several times for breakfasts and a big chinese food dinner which we ordered in from a local chinese restaurant. There is also a game room lounge on the first floor with pool table, foos ball table and big screen tv.
The rooms are not perfect and could use some more attention. While they are clean and comfortable, they need lot's of little things like hooks in the bathrooms, bathroom sinks with a vanity and counter space, better bedding (especially better blankets on the beds,) and more lamps for lighting in the rooms. None of the rooms have tv's and I believe most lack desks as well. The hotel does have free wifi everywhere - perhaps not fast enough to stream movies - but it was perfectly adequate for everything else. The other big item in the room - is that the shower heads are very water-flow restrictive. I'd like to urge the staff to consider installing a less-restrictive shower head as it is a major comfort issue when staying somewhere. With all that said - at less than $100 per room per night we felt this hotel was a good value.
What was perfect and is far more important than any of the above - is the hospitality on the part of the entire staff. These are people who understand the value of "Yes". It is a concept far more expensive and sophisticated hotels try to teach their staffs. Here it seems intrinsic, natural and sincere. They basically said "no" to none of our requests, and clearly strove to make our every moment in their facility comfortable. Philip & Derek (Conference Center managers) were constantly making sure we had everything we needed, but also just let us do our thing. They were generous, kind, understanding and helpful throughout. They truly get the essence of hospitality and we appreciated their professionalism throughout our stay.
Please consider this place if you are hosting any sort of family event, or group retreat. For some events - the lack of an alcohol license here might deter you - but don't let it. Go down the street to one of the many restaurants for a beer or a glass of wine. Come here for the comfortable accommodations, warm gathering spots, and genuine hospitality. We are very glad we did.

I have mixed feelings. I booked a room to sleep 7. We had 2 double beds and 4 twin beds. The air conditioning worked and we had a tv. We had decent wifi also. The beds were clean and mostly comfortable. The bad is that the bathroom looked like it had not been cleaned in months. The shower curtain had black mold and the shower itself was dirty. There is a sink, but no counter space at all. They need to post quiet hours also. It seems there were some sports teams staying there and these people, both kids, and adults, felt they could talk loudly at any hour. We were awakened on Saturday morning before 6 AM! The pool was warm but needed attention as there were a lot of leaves floating around. Would I stay again? Maybe. Staff was friendly.

We arrived on a Saturday and found the desk cleark to be super friendly and the room to be spotless.
Now the issues
No AC / thermostat locked coldest temp allowed 70 if it was working. We ended up sleeping with the windows open
Bed rock hard and noisy
No TV?
It’s a Christian retreat FYI wish they would show that on the website we booked through (booking.com)
My advice to management is fix some stuff AC lockout really? Accept that some customers want the room cold 68 etc and accept the running cost for that.
Put quality beds in the stuff your using is awfull if we were a 2 night stay or more we would have checked out and gone somewhere else.
And TV’s in the room please you could have it in some rooms and not others or make it a cart and an additional charge etc but communal TV is challenging.

I was so looking forward to staying here. It is set in a remote, peaceful location, minutes from Valley Forge Park. The exterior is beautiful. Our room was clean and my two daughters enjoyed having twin beds in our room. Upon arrival, there was no one at the desk. I called the "if no one is at the desk, call this number" number and no one picked up. A gentleman finally came in and had to track someone down to check me in. The fellow who checked me in was very pleasant, but could not answer most of my questions. Our room was clean, but the beds were unbelievably creaky and uncomfortable. My daughter's headboard clanked and rattled every time she moved. The towels were outside the bathroom, which was odd, and the bathroom had NO counter space. Later that night I went downstairs to the vending machine and was met by a pretty funky smell from the kitchen area. With a little updating, this could be a lovely place to stay. Unfortunately, I just can't leave a glowing review based on our experience.

Myself and 2 associates rented a 3 bedroom suite here through booking.com. When we arrived we were told we were in a different building, separate from the hotel. It was very strange in this area. There was a shared kitchen and groups of people. We called to complain there were no televisions in our room and the portable Air conditioning did not work. No one addressed our issues. I booked this well in advance as a business trip. We were NOT looking for a retreat. After complaining several times to the manager, by phone, because he did not work weekends. We were told this is not a hotel, but a Christian retreat. Then it should be advertised as such. Terrible customer service.

Needed a place to stay on our trip back home and wanted something for under $100. This place was perfect! Very quiet, not far from the Interstate, spacious rooms and very clean. Front desk staff was helpful and friendly. Trails to walk and very close to Valley Forge National Park. Even though it is described as a religious retreat, that didn't affect our stay there. Overall, a quiet place to spend the night and get up and go the next morning. Not all rooms have TV, but they have wifi, and if you're not used to hearing mumbled conversations from the next room, our room had a box fan which provided ambient noise.
