The property is nice and has an old-fashioned feel. The only thing was the floor creaked when I walked on it. I hope it did not disturb the folk on the lower floor.

I had a lovely time at the Chestnut Hill Hotel a few days ago. Only stayed one night, unfortunately, I’ll definitely be back! The staff was fantastic. Loved my room. Very cozy. Also appreciated the ability to control my room temperature! Can’t wait to come back with my husband. I wasn’t able to hit the lovely shops by the hotel. Can’t wait to come back :)
