Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure
James P.

A day of Beer and Cheesesteaks with Amigo Dan and Cousin in-law Fargo. Spoiler Alert - the cheesesteak was average at best. It came with beer cheese and Waynebrook Inn made potato chips. We ordered Onion & Bacon jam, Kelso (hot) sauce and sriracha ketchup. Between the wonderful building, Cliff's hospitality, Rachel's service, Mad Elf on tap and the sauces, no one gave the cheesesteak a second thought.

Thick film of dust on outlet right next to the bed

My boyfriend and I booked a room here for 2 nights for a wedding and we checked out the morning after the first night. Simply put, the room was absolutely filthy. A radiator in the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, and had a bunch of miscellaneous liquid drops and stuff on it. I took a moistened piece of TP and took a bunch of it off, so it wasn't stains. The toilet was disgusting. The room had not been dusted in ages and there was a thick build up of dust in multiple places. The mirrors were not cleaned. The faucet in the bathroom did not appear clean. The carpet, towels, and sheets felt like there was a film on them. There was a smudge of some red residue on the do not disturb sign. We found multiple black dots on the sheets that could be brushed off so they weren't stains but made me worried about what they were from. The ceiling had water damage and a tile was falling down. I could feel the springs in the mattress and it was concave in the center. The wallpaper was peeling off the bathroom walls on every edge. My boyfriend is much less picky than me and even he was grossed out. Within 20 minutes of getting there we had booked a room at a different hotel for the next night and only stayed the night because it was 10pm. When I checked out early, I talked to the person in charge of housekeeping, who I showed these pictures to and she said she would talk to whoever cleaned it. But this room hasn't been properly cleaned in months, minimum. This much dust and residue doesn't build up over a single hotel stay. She called the manager and told him I said the room was filthy and he didn't seem surprised at all. They at least refunded us, but I had to call again to make that happen because it wasn't processed the first time. In addition to these issues, the hotel is locked between 8-9pm and if you check in after that you need to call the number and wait for someone to let you in. The front desk seems unmanned all the time and just has a sign on it to call them. No one was manning it when we got there and no one was manning it the next morning when we checked out. So there isn't much service to speak of, but at least they were willing to refund without argument. We ended up at the Marriott Courtyard in Coatesville, which was as close to the Brandywine Manor wedding venue in Honey Brook as this place, and has the regular amenities and housekeeping you expect at a hotel.

This is a sweet hotel with a very interesting history from the 1740s. It is dog friendly with a restaurant and pub. Prices are excellent. We are looking for our weekend here.

You must stay here! It's beyond charming. I stay in historic hotels whenever I can. I travel all over the USA and the Waynebrook is now my all time favorite I recommend getting a King room. They are beautiful and very colonial. There are three pubs in the Waynebrook which keeps things interesting if your staying a few days. The staff and owner are friendly, gracious and truly hospitable in the traditional sense of the term. If your just passing by on the Turnpike near Morgantown, skip all the typical hotels and make the short drive down to The village of Honey Brook and stay at the Waynebrook. The rates are good and the place is memorable. Highly recommended

This place has potential... or maybe it had it before and then lost some of it. We booked a one night stay after doing some farm touring/animal petting/serious shopping in Kettle Kitchen. When we pulled up we saw that there is a restaurant on site and was a bit relieved that we didn't have to drive through the cornfields to find dinner. Upon entering there is a small desk and the restaurant space to the right and behind. We asked at check-in when the restaurant opens for the evening (because it was completely dark) and was told that the restaurant closed down two years ago. We also discovered a bar in the basement that is also closed. The elevator is old, and needs updating. It is slooooowwwww , the numbers on the buttons are all lopsided and the doors take a while to open, leaving you to think you were stuck. After exiting the elevator we discovered that there were only two rooms on our floor (plus). There is a sitting area on each floor and vending, ice and coffee maker on the 2nd floor. I don't know about other rooms but my room was huge. Queen size bed, two end tables, two chairs, armoire and desk table. The bathroom is a shower stall, closet, soaking whirlpool tub, toilet and bidet. Towels are plenty, and there are toiletries (although cheap toiletries). The decor is old, but I think it's part of its "charm". It was a bit stuffy and old smelling but we opened up the windows and it was gone in a few hours. The Windows have no screens which worried me a bit because we were amidst all kinds of animals and didn't want to wake up with a new pet (were city folk... we don't know what lurks out here). Free breakfast in the morning... coffee/tea, frozen jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches, yogurts, juices, muffins, etc. nothing spectacular but something to grab before you hit the road. Free wifi and pet friendly. There's some peeling paint At the elevator entrance, and I had a water stain on my ceiling. There was no one at the check out desk when we were leaving so we just left... sorry! No hair dryer or iron. The hotel wasn't terrible and I would have liked to give a higher rating. I would stay here again even with the flaws. Perhaps they'll make the needed updates and get at least the bar running. They have a lot of space (in door and outdoor) and it's a shame they're not utilizing it.

This was my second time staying here. Last time was 5 or 6 years ago. Legs just say they have done nothing to the property since then. The decor is hodge podge and old and worn. This place needs a major makeover. The bathroom has no counter space which is probably why there is no hair dryer either. The bed was a four poster with a nasty dust gathering cover on it. The water pressure is non existant. Lastly the horrendously slow elevator is crowded with 2 large plastic trees that are covered in dust. For $180 a night. Just way overpriced.

Hole in the ceiling tile in our room.

Churchtown Inn Bed and Breakfast - Warm welcoming Room with beautiful view

Churchtown Inn Bed and Breakfast

I truly cannot express my gratitude to the Churchtown Inn staff for the experience I went through…read morewith them. I had originally booked a 2-night stay with them for my parents as a combined Mothers Day gift/Dad's birthday gift (around May/June). My father was sick with cancer at the time, and between hospital visits and treatments, my parents seriously needed a little getaway. However, due to my dad's illness, it was often very difficult to set dates for them -- every day can bring something new and unexpected. I had to call maybe 4 times to reschedule the stay -- each time, the staff being so incredibly empathetic and kind. There was never even an ounce of frustration from them, each time telling me 'not to worry' and checking in on my Dad. There were calls I had to make in which, after confirming the dates and my name, they would immediately ask how my Dad is doing and wishing my family well. I couldn't believe they remembered who we were, and had it in their hearts to ask about him! Well -- we fell on some very difficult times and lost my father in August. We had most recently moved their reservation to September, so we very quickly had to reassess. My family decided to gift the 2-night stay to some incredibly supportive friends of ours, but when I called and spoke with the staff -- they could immediately tell something was wrong, and once again hit me with the utmost empathy, kindness, and patience. They immediately offered to issue a full refund, but instead, I asked them to just change the names on the reservation and we gifted it to some friends. I truly couldn't wait for my friends to visit and tell me all about their stay. They had nothing but wonderful things to say! They told me that the staff was so generous and kind, the room was stunning, and the local hiking trails were absolutely beautiful and worth even just a day trip from where we live in NJ. They enjoyed everything about their stay! And they said the food was just divine! They said it's definitely a place they would return to, and I cannot wait to pay a visit myself and see all the things Churchtown has to offer in person! I can confidently say that based on my experiences with the staff just over the phone, this is a wonderful establishment who is deserving of all the success. Churchtown is #1 on my list i'd like to actually experience in person, and I surely cannot wait to do so!!!!

This has been our second time staying at the inn. The first time was at the Covered Bridge Cottage…read morelast summer. Our hosts Chris and Jim are so kind and thoughtful, and Chris is an amazing chef! She even gave me the printed recipe for her scones. Breakfasts were just heavenly. Five courses and totally different each time, made us feel like royalty. They were also so helpful about finding us dog-friendly places to go with our pooch. Lodgings are clean and quiet. I recommend Chris and Jim to everyone I know! I thank them for making this a great vacation!
