There was no staff at the property when we got there. We had a code to get in and then a code for our room. Without our 32 year old son we might not have succeeded in getting in. The hotel was nice but I was supposed to have ordered a roll away bed and there was no one to help us. This was my bad but if they had staff we could have corrected the problem. During the day they seemed to have the same one staff member doing everything. Breakfast. Minding the front desk. All sorts of things. He wasn't very available for problems as they came in. Overall I liked the hotel but I found the lack off staff disconcerting.

Love the hotel and location.

Loved the hotel. Lobby is very welcoming as you enter the front door. Room was nice and clean. Bed comfortable. Only complaint would be the noise of the air conditioner. It’s loud and sounds like you are along a beach with waters hitting the dock. Contintenal breakfast presentation was nice and food good. Troy, the evening hotel representative was very hospitable. No morning representative notice at the desk. We would stay there again if we go the area Great location for Longwood Gardens and Brandywine Museum. .

The Brandywine River Hotel is a cozy property that is nestled among some small boutique shops and near some great restaurants. It’s also conveniently located across the road from the Brandywine Museum of Art and several relaxing hiking trails. The staff are friendly and the technology made checking in and out bery easy. The property is on the older side, but everything is works well and the rooms were very clean. It made for a great homebase for our visit with friends in DE and PA.

Located behind the Chadds Ford Barn shops. Don’t miss the Ososweet Bakery!

The hotel is well off the highway minimizing road noise. My rooms was quiet, comfortable and tried to give off a colonial feeling. My bathroom was also modernized. If i had one criticism, it would be the free breakfast. Nothing but packaged rolls and cereal. The fruit bowl looked like it was the same fruit for the past month. The caps on the juice and milk containers were very dirty and milk tasted sour. Dont be tempted to staynthere for the free breakfast
