Pros:

Nagyon kedves volt a személyzet.
A ház, a szoba és a közös helyiségek hangulata varázslatos, visszarepültünk pár évszázadot az időben. Ennek ellenére minden kényelem megvolt a mai igényeknek megfelelően. A reggeli elég volt, a kávé finom. Elhelyezkedés is tökéletes, a belváros gyalog kényelmesen bejárható,de a tömegközlekedés is jó.

Pros:

Qualité de l'accueil.
Calme de l'hôtel

Cons:

Petit déjeuner assez sommaire (car pas de cuisine dans l'établissement)
Fenêtres de la chambre en grande partie occultées par des voilages fixes, d'où une absence de vue sur l'extérieur.
Déco plutôt rustique

I would stay again
Pros:

Location, all day coffee & tea and that the parking garage was across the street. Bath robes were nice.

Cons:

The paint needed to be touched up in the bathroom. Mattress was very firm - that was OK for me but others would not like it.

Nice historical hotel in a good location
Pros:

The staff is superb. Helpful, friendly, and efficient from the first phone call to make my reservation to the end of my visit. The room was in good condition. Everything worked. Nice armoire and plenty of drawer space. Be advised that there's no elevator and as it is a very old house, the steps are steeper and shallower than you might be used to. The Continental breakfast is good. Cut fruit, cereal, English muffins, hard boiled eggs, pastries, and good coffee. The location is convenient to the historical district and museums. There is a variety of restaurants and bars within walking distance. I didn't have a car but I understand that there is no on-site parking but there is an arrangement with a nearby parking garage. I would stay here again.

Pros:

An ideal location in the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence — it truly doesn’t get any better than this.
A beautiful, authentic historic house with a cozy atmosphere and true hospitality.
The breakfast deserves a special mention — the baked goods will stay in our hearts forever ❤️ Absolutely delicious and homemade.
We would also like to sincerely thank the staff for their honesty and care: we accidentally left a ring in the room, and the team found it and kindly mailed it back to us. This means a lot and deserves the highest praise.
You are amazing!
Thank you for such a warm and memorable stay. We would love to come back again.
