The menu is outstanding, inventive and delicious. We stayed here this time for a wedding and it was really done right -- I understand the hotel put most of it together. They had a full dinner at the reception with 3 entrees and I and many at our table had the tenderloin. Amazing that they served probably a dozen of them at the same time and they were all cooked to perfection. With lovely compliments of seasonal veggies. The brunch at Paramour is fantastic with little amuse bouche plates you choose up near the kitchen before you order arrives. All so delicious. The breakfasts were HUGE and really good. My sisters pancakes were 12 inches across, 3 of them and we all helped her finish them...so good! The coffee was excellent too. Nice and strong. Looking forward to coming back. Well done Paramour and Wayne Hotel!

I haven't written a review in ages, but feel compelled to alert other travelers. We stayed in the Lafayette which was spacious but run down and dirty. I could see past that if it hadn't been for the worst service I've ever experienced in a stay. We arrived for breakfast an hour and a half before it was over. The table linens were stained (on literally every table) and the coffee pot was nearly empty (with luke warm coffee). When an employee finally came out from the back and I politely said the coffee was out, we got an earful about her "not making another pot," "it will go to waste or they'll just have to save it for tomorrow." She said we could use the keurig because she wasn't making more. She continued to go on about them trying to save money, complaining about people taking cups from where they weren't supposed to, people with gluten allergies, and on and on. I've traveled all over the world and stayed at several B&Bs. I'm used to B&Bs being charming and welcoming, but here I felt like I was being lectured -- like I hadn't read all the paperwork or something. It was so unexpected , unpleasant, and uncomfortable. Most places go out of their way to show you the space and share details. I received a welcome email before arriving saying staff would happily assist in making recommendations, dinner reservations, etc. I actually replied and got no response. There was never any staff who expressed anything close to this kind of hospitality. The next morning when we went to store our luggage before leaving, the desk was unattended. Someone went to seek help and we were met with the same annoyed employee from breakfast the previous day. I said I wanted to make sure we didn't need tags or to inform anyone that we're leaving luggage (as the sign at the front desk indicates), and she --again, annoyed-- said "I don't even know why it says that, we don't have time for that" and removed it from the counter. We attempted to contact the manager Maria twice about concerns and have yet to receive a return call. Location is lovely. Rooms are below average. Service is laughable.

If being specific, the day after I checked in I noted that someone went through my medications I left in the fridge and rebagged them. On the one hand this is quite rude and made me feel violated. On the other hand they simply have people hunched over-passed out-doing drugs across from the doorway and so I shrugged it off as I assumed they were having trouble with this. A couple of the ladies were especailly kind. Stephanie I believer her name is took the group on a rather fun ghost tour which when compared with the tour I spend $25 on later was better. Another lady working checked out their umbrella and I didn't have to like 'ah leave ID or anything. That was cool. But then some of the staff are just deal breakers. On my last night I bought a Philadelphia Cheesesteak and wanted to eat in the lounge while either deciding to extend the weekend or treck back eariler to New York. Dude in a trucker hat with long hair said to clear out and then waited and watched me pack up my stuff from the fridge. So kinda ruined my hoagie, I was like 70-30 on staying the weekend, that put a bad taste in my mouth but ah, now I'm having that hoggie. I would stay at the other hostel as I heard through the grapevine they do more social activies and it's online a bit cheaper. I haven't seen it but imagine safer for familes and groups. Alright.

I really wanted to be in Philly, because my church was having a fellowship weekend and my usual hosts were not available. This hostel was in the middle of an alley in the center of downtown, so very convenient location. It was spacious with front check in area, pool table, kitchen, couches, and games. The decor is colorful and fun, with plenty of Philly inspired artwork. I received my key card and towel, then headed upstairs to the room, which had a large window and 6 bunk beds. The space seemed to be clean and well kept. There was a towel hanging on one of the hooks, so I put my towel (of a different color) next to it. When I returned late that night, I noticed that my clean towel was no longer on the hook. I looked around and saw said towel haphazardly thrown on a lower bunk bed that was not mine. Why do people have to ruin things?! I cannot fathom how anyone could think it is appropriate to use and much less, touch, someone else's towel! Feeling quite upset, I had to go back down to the front desk (which was thankfully 24 hours) in order to get a new towel. After that, I made sure to lock up my towel. The bathroom for the floor was pretty well maintained. Kitchen was nice and cute with plenty of spots to sit. There was free tea, as well as a machine providing coffee and chai for $1. I selected the Chocolate Chai, which was a comforting blend of rich cocoa and warm spices from the chai flavor. Overall, service was welcoming. The guests mostly kept to their own group, which is not what I'm used to when I'm in hostels internationally. However, I didn't really mind since I was barely there. I might consider staying again, but only as a last resort.

I will say that driving up to the Chamounix Mansion could have been a scene from a B-horror movie, a big old house in the middle of the woods. Our experience was nothing like that though. Claire and Andie are the house managers and both were nice and accommodating. They supplied sheets, linens, blanket and a pillow. You need to bring your bathroom supplies (towel, deodorant, shampoo, soap, toothbrush etc). Our Scout troop stayed here and we had both buildings, the Mansion and the cottage which is across a lawn/courtyard area. Their main kitchen/dining area is in the basement of the mansion which fit 70 scouts with a little room to spare. Since it was the first week in April and it was warm, 70 degrees, the AC was not on yet but they have several pedestal room fans which made it adequate. Each room had several bunk beds, lights, outlets etc. The mansion and the cottage each had a common room with a TV in it. They have free wifi but you get a strong signal on your cell phone without it. Overall we had a good experience and I definitely recommend it for large groups.
