Jul 11, 2008

While the location is terrific and the shabbiness has already been reported, what most astounded us was the difficulty of just staying here, and the lack of anyone to appeal to for assistance. One checks in at the bar below the hotel, where no one knows anything except to give you the key. No one is responsible. If you have... more

After re-reading the reviews already submitted for this property, I think that these folks either stayed at a completely different hotel, or that something has drastically changed since their reviews were submitted. This property has great potential to be a wonderful Inn. It has a great location, right in the center of town. But that's about all it has right... more

My Husband and I stayed at the Chestnut Hill Hotel the weekend of Sept. 8th. The exterior of the hotel is very charming and so is the surrounding area. However, when we checked into our room I have to say I was a little disappointed. I was expecting more of an inn like feel and to me it felt more... more

Liked the hotel but the street noise prevented us from getting a decent nights sleep. The room was a good size, clean and nicely furnished. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location, in the middle of Chestnut Hill, was great. Close to shops ,restaurants and next to a market. Maybe the rooms in the back of the hotel are quieter. more

Chestnut Hill is about 9 miles north of downtown Philly and is very accessible on the regional railways - each station only about 4 blocks from the hotel. The hotel was clean and the front desk staff was very solicitous and even friendly. It is an old hotel but the charming area is beyond lovely. There are shops, restaurants and... more

I stayed at the Chestnut Hill Hotel while attending a conference at LaSalle University. I loved it! It has many nice stores, restaurants and bakeries nearby and felt like a very safe area. The food at the attached restaurant, "The Chestnut Grille" was especially good. We wanted to go sightseeing one day in Philly so we took the train in.... more

I visited the Chestnut Hill Hotel for a small training meeting. Knowing it was in Philly I expected a city, but its in actually in a nice cobblestoned neighborhood like 5 miles from the turnpike with tons of shops, restaurants, etc within blocks. There's a farmers market next door with crafts, food, and other fun stuff. Value items: Free parking,... more

My boyfriend had a business trip out in Philadelphia, so we both stayed at the Chestnut Hill for a week. Checkin was so great, they let us check in really early, which I know is hard to do, since I work at a hotel. The service was great, one time I closed the door and left, and the door opened... more

My wife and I stayed at the Chestnut Hill Hotel recently and loved it. We booked through the tourism website www.gophila.com We reserved the "Philly's More Fun When You Sleep Over" deal. The rate was only $169 for TWO nights. Parking was free. We even recieved a cute little teddy bear when we arrived. The room was charming. It had... more

I have stayed at this hotel several times before while on business to the North West Philly area. It has been satisfactory at best but the only game in town. This time I arrived late in the evening and there was a room available. The desk clerk, Lorraine, was pleasant but seemed a bit untrained at the computor fumbling to... more
