This hotel is typically great. We LOVE that there are two restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance—like two minutes. We’ve stayed here at least 6 times (family lives nearby), and this was our first negative experience. My husband got an upgrade to a two-room suite, but when we got to the room it smelled HEAVILY of smoke. Aren’t hotels supposed to be nonsmoking? It bothered me all weekend. I would hope they would use whatever resources they have to alleviate smoke in their rooms in the future.

The rooms are well appointed with good use of space and reasonable facilities. There was no traffic noise on the side facing the carpark. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful. They will organise a room cleaning service when you request. The breakfast buffet is limited and needs more fresh and healthier options. The gym is well equipped.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The gym was adequate with a set of dumbells, a bench with some cardio equipment. Breakfast was just OK, but acceptable. Overall it was fairly quiet, but I could hear the occasional truck air brakes in the mornings. The kitchen was nice, with 2 burners on the stove, a microwave, full size fridge and freezer, small dishwasher and enough dishes, pot and pans to cook and eat. Nice and close to Valley Forge National Historical Park, which is an excellent place to spend a relaxing day, while seeing our history. We did drive to Paoli park and ride one day and take the train in to Philly. About 55 minutes on the train one way plus fares, so not the best way to go, even though parking was free and available. Overall a decent stay at the hotel, just not for going to Philly.
