Society Hill Hotel

The hotel was a bit of a surprise. I like older hotels and I have stayed in many simple places without a lot of frills. There was a window taped with cardboard to keep it closed. The bathroom shower dripped constantly and others that stayed there had toilets that did not work plus other basic problems. It was a good location and the people that worked there were nice. But overall it was really a dump.

Not sure how they charge close to $100 a night for this hotel. I've stayed in hostels that were far better than this facility. Everything seemed broken, old, dirty, dilapitated - just an all around unpleasant place. If you don't have very high standards for cleanliness and comfort (bed was horrible) - then it's a good place because of its location. Otherwise, I would never recommend - ever.

Very good location and nice staff. However, hotel is run down. I had to be relocated to a room that had a television with a remote, only to find out that all the remote did was turn the tv on/off....no channel changing. Door to room did not close from the inside...had to ask for help when I was going to bed for the evening. Again, staff was accomodating but the hotel needs renovating. Very small rooms, but that would be acceptable if everything was updated.[...]

Not much of a "bed and breakfast" - you check in at the bar in the 1st floor restaurant and are shown the location of your room - and that is your last contact with the staff. When you leave, you just put your key through a hole in a door. Breakfast is a plastic bag containing a juice box, granola bar, a snack size can of fruit, some peanut butter crackers, and a little packaged snack cake of some type. There is also a small coffee maker with a jar containing some type of coffee - not labeled, tea bags and sugar free hot chocolate mix. The pictures on-line showed how the rooms had been renovated, but ours certainly was not and very much need it! There was even a lamp on the desk that was plugged into an outlet in the bathroom, so the bathroom door couldn't be closed. Lots of visible electrical cords - wonder if the local building/fire inspector has taken a look at it lately. The rooms were very small, which we expected, but it was certainly not a pleasant bed and breakfast - just a very drab hotel. There are plenty of other hotels in the area - with nice rooms, good breakfasts, and reasonable prices.
