We loved this hotel! The atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Check-in was pleasant and welcoming. The entire staff is friendly yet professional. Room was clean and bed extremely comfortable with very nice linen. The Chestnut Hill Hotel is a rare gem nestled in a quaint area with restaurants and places of interests within walking distance. We were plesantly surprised with this establishment and our accommodations. We have already recommended it to others and we would definitely choose to stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We apparently were given one of the last rooms available. It was a very small room that looked out at roof vents. Totally unacceptable room for the price.

Nice, cozy hotel in the heart of Chestnut Hill

Stayed here on a trip to drop our son off at college. It was such a relief after driving all day to have parking, polite, professional staff, and a quiet, well appointed room. Plus great restaurant choices just a few feet away. Everyone was super nice.

Not worth the price!

For the money, this was a very disappointing hotel. The room had virtually no drawers for clothes, limited outlets a shower that caused a small flood and the decor was a bit shocking,1960s mid century modern in the post office building, done poorly. The breakfast was pretty horrible, something I would expect from a discount hotel. I will say the beds were very comfortable. The staff was excellent and friendly.
