“A surprising gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 23, 2012 NEW

A beautifully maintained full service independent property, the Brandywine offered a clean, comfortable room with superb service, substantial continental breakfast, and late afternoon tea (along with fresh baked cookies), all for a most reasonable rate. This was my first visit to the area but there is so much to see and do in the vicinity that I will surely be... More

“Just what I needed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 18, 2012

I took a few days off for some R&R and had heard about the Brandywine area's attractions. The hotel seemed like a nice place and I splurged for the very affordable king fireplace suite. Overall I had a very positive experience here. Yes, the decor is dated and the breakfast is nothing to write home about. Didn't make a difference... More

“Great de-stress getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 30, 2012

I had scheduled a much needed weekday break and decided to visit Longwood Gardens and the Brandywine River area. In searching for a hotel, I was a little hesitant to book the Brandywine River hotel, based on some previous reviews. But they had all the amenities I was looking for, so I took the leap. I am so glad I... More

“Awful”

The advertised wellness center is defunct, but still promoted on website. The decor is circa early 1980 and needs updating, the afternoon tea still advertised has been wiped out- new ownership that has tanked it- waste of money

Considering its in a very good area. I decided to go do some sightseeing with my husband to the Brandywine battle field and Wyeth Museum. We decided to do a little overnighter for a romantic evening. This was a very good hotel. It was on the dirty side. The Jacuzzi was lousy. I have been to cheaper hotels with better... More

“Not quite up to par”

This hotel has changed ownership & is not the charming place it once was. Rather disappointed & will probably choose the 'chain' hotels for future stays.

While it is true that we changed ownership in January 2011, we have attempted to keep changes to a minimum (or make positive changes.) If there is something that we have changed that you would like to see brought back, please let us know. More

“Nice, comfortable, but could use a little work”

We stayed here for one night while visiting the valley attractions. Room was cozy, bed comfortable, but showed signs of wear. The breakfast can use some attention, went down at 8:00' and was pretty much bare, mostly due to one "large" group that pretty much picked it clean, which is not the hotel's fault, but someone had to go to...

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We do our best to keep up with our breakfast, but occasionally there is some delay in replenishing if our desk staff is busy with guests or our breakfast attendant is otherwise occupied (making waffle batter, baking cookies, etc.) Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to serving you again.
