We have stayed at the Terry House many times but this was the first time since the new owners took over. Simply amazing! The hospitality and the beautiful rooms were exceptional. We cannot wait to go back time and again to watch the progress.

The Magnolia Room, our favorite.
Steven Jon K.

I have always been delighted with the Terry House for two decades, with my favorite room being the Magnolia Room on the second floor with a view of the main street. This is an excellent and surprisingly quiet place to watch the folks of New Castle going about their daily business along with some tourists. Sue serves a delicious homemade breakfast each morning and helps you to catch up with the latest local gossip. Ms. Deemer is still around at the age of 99 and is amazingly sharp. In some ways it feels like a trip back in time although you are always in the present with excellent modern wi-fi. This house is conveniently located in the center of town within a few blocks of everything. I plan to keep returning here.

“The location is a true old colonial waterfront town - and Jessop's Tavern - VG & reasonable $$ fare - is a 1/4 block walk.”

I wound up staying in for the night to catch up on work emails & wound up not stopping back down. No big deal, right? The next day I come through the lobby after work and asked for the same bottle of water, and a different person told me that he couldn't just give me the water and gave me the third degree about not being a 'status member', and that the waters are reserved for those of 'status'. All of this over a bottle of water? Are you serious? I didn't ask for any of this, even as I told him that I travel for work at least twice per month, and have already earned over a dozen stays with Marriott in less than three months. Eventually the person reluctantly gave the water. Maybe he was guilted about my apology in asking for one in the first place. What an exchange/comment to leave a guest slackjawed. I should've gone over to the free lemon water dispenser and helped myself out of spite. Otherwise, if you like low flow showers, a women's prison literally right down the road nearby, and the hum & din of traffic rolling by your window, this might be the place for you, along with green chairs in your room that don't match any decor and reminded me of a color only matched by the 1972 Gremlin. Even the wardrobe closet wasn't wide enough. Only decent part was a free breakfast with warm scrambled eggs & some turkey sausage. I'll dip on the return, thanks anyway. :-(

Part of the never ending - quick and dirty one night hotel review series - that in reality almost…read moreshouldn't count because we were barely here and didn't experience a lot of what the hotel offers. Right off of 295 which couldn't be any easier to get on/off from. The parking lot is shared with a Cracker Barrell and an Applebee's and it's a short roll across the street to a KFC and to The Bell. The hotel is what it is for what I suspect is an older building that looks like it was somewhat renovated within the last few years but if you look close enough they definitely cut some corners in that area (bathroom caulking & paint were in miserable condition and the back of the bathroom door had as much paint missing from the door as was on the door). The room was basically as expected with it being on the opposite side of the building from the highway so there was no noise at all. But even if there would have been, upon entering, there was no doubt the a/c worked as the thermostat was set to 64 and the unit was ripping jet engine full blast. Hampton breakfast is Hampton breakfast and we've learned to skip it the same as they do have a small outdoor pool and some guest washers/dryers but didn't have a need for either of those. Nothing really sexy or outstanding here but if you need clean, serviceable and functional, this Hampton has got you covered.

Stopped in here on our way home from a long road trip. Treated like crap by the desk clerk when we…read morechecked in. She was more interested in her phone than customer service. My wife asked if there was bottled water in the room, was told no, curtly. I asked politely, "do you have a couple of bottles in the back" was told. "they are a dollar apiece. Nicely mentioned to her that we have gold status with Hilton and that paying for water was news to me. She looked at me like I was something that was on the bottom of her shoe and told me "it's still a dollar a bottle" 11 hours on the road and I'm in no mood for that "tude" but it's not worth it to deal with someone who obviously doesn't give a rats ass. I'd sleep under a bridge in the median of the Jersey turnpike before I ever stay in that place again. especially for almost 200 bucks a night. Hell I could have, and should have stayed at the super 8 across the parking lot for less than half of that and probably have been treated better. There were other issues but that one really set me off This joint isn't worth the BS. go elsewhere.

There isn't much to do in the town but there is a movie theater and children's museum near by. The staff was great and the morning breakfast crew was a hoot.

Someone answered and said that they could. When I arrived later that day, Jeannette checked me in and gave me a great room on a higher floor with a great view of the Christina River. Jeannette later told me that she had replied to my text. Our room was perfect. It had everything that we requested starting with a king bed. The room had a small kitchen area. There was plenty of desk space and a small sofa with a computer desk. The bathroom was adequate. The view from the room was great. It was nice that we could see a high school rowing race one morning from our room. Breakfast is served downstairs. They had a pretty good offering of breakfast items. They had the usual items like scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes. One of the mornings they served a smoked chicken for smoked chicken burritos. It was different and good. Along with these breakfast items, they also had coffee and juices. The gym is located on the first floor. They had sanitizing wipes to clean the machines before and after using the machines. A large screen tv was there for watching. Ellipticals and treadmills are available for you to use. It was enough for a good workout. The Homewood was a good hotel for me. Both my wife and I liked it. If in this area again, we would stay here again.

Fantastic hotel in location!…read more I was pleasantly greeted upon walking in this scentfully welcoming lobby by Stevie. He was bright eyed, bushy tailed and excited to assist. He checked us in quickly as well as gave me fantastic restaurants ideas for dinner. We went to our room and I was overjoyed with the décor in space given. I loved everything about our room so much so that I didn't even wanna leave back out. Everything went well, perfect temperature, clean, and visually attractive. There was plenty of parking, on site business center, indoor pool and jacuzzi, outdoor courtyard and indoor bistro that served breakfast and dinner. The one and only gripe I have about this place is the ceiling in my bathroom (Room 232). We had the most comfortable shower head but right above the shower head, the ceiling looked like it had a recent repair any wasn't smoothed out properly so you could actually see where the damage was to the ceiling in the poor patch up job. Despite my one and only gripe, I'd definitely stay at this hotel in the future making a my 1st choice!!

In this case, it's because this Super 8 is exceptionally bad. In fact, this has got to be one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in. Upon checking in, I hurried to my room for a shower and some sleep. Nevertheless, my room did not come with any soap. I had to go all the way down to the front desk to bring back a single bar of soap. Once I brought the soap back to my room, I noticed that the shower curtain had what appeared to be a blood stain - absolutely gross! On top of that, this hotel is extremely stingy. For example, when I asked for more towels, the front desk attendant gave me just A SINGLE TOWEL. This has never happened to me before. In fact, the previous hotel I stayed in, a Days Inn (also a Wyndham property), gave me an entire stack of towels when I asked for more towels. Overall, I am done with the Wyndham brand. I've stayed in some pretty bad Wyndham properties, but this has got to be one of the worst!
