The entrance of the property can be off-putting, but we had a room for 1 night with a great water view and the rooms were beautiful with good AC, water, and bathroom washes/haircare. Only thing I would suggest is it they fix up something nice in the front so it doesn’t look empty! Other than that I really enjoyed my stay and the owner was very nice when we checked out.

The room, while a little small, was updated and clean. Full size fridge was a bonus but the bed was too firm and I really missed an in room coffee machine. If it hadn't been so cloudy, we would have had a beautiful view of the sunset on the river. Quaint park next to hotel with decent park and splash pad (wasn't open when we were there). Little historic buildings of the settlers in the region. Hotel was perfect proximity to Philadelphia and highway.

The hotel is absolutely stunning. Our room was impeccably clean and well-appointed. We reserved a waterfront room, and it offered the most breathtaking view of the River—truly the highlight of our stay. I highly recommend this hotel; it's conveniently located near Philadelphia and offers ample parking, making it both accessible and relaxing.
