Not to mention, the backbone of my morality was founded and crafted under the foundations of Christian/Catholic doctrine (thanks to primary and secondary education in such institutions). Not to mention, the s#it muh parents preached in the home place. Unlike garish and decadent displays that run ironically contrary to Christian teachings of humility and modesty... this temple of worship is as simple as they come. The same pews have been used since the days of my infancy... and the faithful parishioners of yesteryear still attend service here, as stalwart bulwarks of dedication and consistency. While I am not one for too much sentiment, and even less so for Christianity and the veil of false righteousness that plenty claim to possess just by virtue of being a follower... I appreciate this establishment and the fine people who call this place their home of worship .

Let's clarify something. This is NOT the conference center at the Valley Forge Casino. This is a…read moresmall 50 room hotel on land owned by the Valley Forge Bible College in Phoenixville, PA just off of Valley Forge Rd. We know it by the name: Conference Center at Valley Forge. This is a wonderful place for families, corporate retreats, non-profit groups, & school groups. This is a place that hasn't forgotten the essence of what hospitality truly means. Sadly, my sister died in January. She was a popular choir director and her school held a memorial concert in her honor. I needed to find a hotel for about 20 family members to stay during the concert weekend. I also wanted a facility where we could have our own memorial service before the concert, as well as host a small brunch for about 40 people. We are a group of fairly progressive Jews. I really was not sure a conference center in the middle of a Christian bible college would be the right place for us, but I was equally sure that we wanted a quiet, modest place where friends and family could gather, celebrate the life of my sister and spend lots of good quality time together. So I called the folks at The Valley Forge Conference Center (which is now professionally managed by Sodexho) and they convinced that we would be comfortable there. Our weekend at the conference center was exactly what I had hoped it would be. The facility has lots of comfortable common area space where friends and family could gather, hang out, talk and drink coffee and tea. There is a living room space in the lobby, as well as a cozy cafe space on the lower level, which we used several times for breakfasts and a big chinese food dinner which we ordered in from a local chinese restaurant. There is also a game room lounge on the first floor with pool table, foos ball table and big screen tv. The rooms are not perfect and could use some more attention. While they are clean and comfortable, they need lot's of little things like hooks in the bathrooms, bathroom sinks with a vanity and counter space, better bedding (especially better blankets on the beds,) and more lamps for lighting in the rooms. None of the rooms have tv's and I believe most lack desks as well. The hotel does have free wifi everywhere - perhaps not fast enough to stream movies - but it was perfectly adequate for everything else. The other big item in the room - is that the shower heads are very water-flow restrictive. I'd like to urge the staff to consider installing a less-restrictive shower head as it is a major comfort issue when staying somewhere. With all that said - at less than $100 per room per night we felt this hotel was a good value. What was perfect and is far more important than any of the above - is the hospitality on the part of the entire staff. These are people who understand the value of "Yes". It is a concept far more expensive and sophisticated hotels try to teach their staffs. Here it seems intrinsic, natural and sincere. They basically said "no" to none of our requests, and clearly strove to make our every moment in their facility comfortable. Philip & Derek (Conference Center managers) were constantly making sure we had everything we needed, but also just let us do our thing. They were generous, kind, understanding and helpful throughout. They truly get the essence of hospitality and we appreciated their professionalism throughout our stay. Please consider this place if you are hosting any sort of family event, or group retreat. For some events - the lack of an alcohol license here might deter you - but don't let it. Go down the street to one of the many restaurants for a beer or a glass of wine. Come here for the comfortable accommodations, warm gathering spots, and genuine hospitality. We are very glad we did.
