Nice hotel, great location to visit Wyeth Museum

Nice room. No hook to hang towels or robe in bath. Breakfast is really bland. Prepackaged muffins. We opted for the great bakery next to the hotel.

Perfectly clean, restful, and friendly! I cannot give enough kudos to this unassuming little hotel! Check-in was the easiest I've ever experienced and Troy at the front desk was helpful and charming! Our sheets and pillows were so clean and comfortable that we even slept in! Surroundings are great and decent restaurants nearby. Lots of history and natural beauty.

We had a wonderful time on our visit. The staff was very kind. Breakfast would be the only thing I think that could be better and maybe an option for bottled water.

Wonderful room with a "nature" sounding AC

The room was clean and very well-appointed. It had everything I needed, including a mini fridge. The smart TV was great! I got to stream some favorite shows. The one odd thing was that AC "unit" (where the vent was) sounded like a babbling brook... to the extent that when I first entered the room, I thought someone had left a sound machine on, set to nature/water! It ended up not bothering me, but someone else might find it disturbing. Overall, I had a wonderful stay for a great price!

Brandywine River Hotel.

A group of four ladies had such a fun time!!! Although an older hotel, the bathroom was updated and the shower had great water pressure. There is a nice sitting area to have a glass of wine. The dining area was open in the evening so we had our pizza delivered and ate there. There is a cute little cafe right next door for a great quick breakfast. The hotel is so close to Brandywine River Museum and Longwood Gardens.

College Reunion Visit

I was very satisfied and pleased with my visit to the Brandywine River Hotel after an initial problem. When I went to the room that I was assigned, it appeared that someone was in that room. The beds were open with sheets and pillows scattered and on the floor and other items made it look like someone was still using the room. When I returned to the sign in desk, the representative apologized and reassigned me to another room that was clean and in very good condition.
