The B&B itself is a large and unique Victorian that has been beautifully restored, furnished and maintained. The proprietors are exceptionally hospitable and helpful and we had a wonderful time staying with them. Our room -- The Victorian -- was great with its canopied bed and separate sitting room. The breakfasts were enormous and delicious and the location was perfect for us. We would love to go back again.

Fabulous property with authentic Victorian decor and furnishings. Comfortable, quiet and the breakfasts are generous and delicious! There were some minor repairs needed but that’s normal for older properties. The hosts are what made my stay special. They treat customers with dignity and are very accommodating. Looking forward to my next stay.

Excellent stay and will be my hotel of choice when I come to Philly. Amazing service; they did my laundry which I needed after two weeks abroad for work. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms are very comfortable and homey. Neighborhood is safe and walkable. So much more enjoyable than a corporate hotel and at a competitive cost. Give something different a try!
