At first glance, the hotel is a typical 2-story motor lodge. Inside, however, it was most impressive. The staff was amazing -- very "homey" and friendly -- as though you were staying with your favorite aunt or grandma. Branded Manhattan Bagels coffee was a very nice touch -- a big step up from the institutional coffee found in most midscale hotel lobbies. Breakfast included biscuit sandwiches, waffles, yogurt, fresh and canned fruit, cereal, and oatmeal -- again a step above the usual, in my opinion. Although rooms are exterior-corridor, those in the business class section are inside a courtyard that is key-accessed, adding a level of security. The rooms were basic, but very clean and comfortable. DVD players with a DVD library were another thoughtful touch (there's also a Redbox DVD machine right next door). Plenty of good stores and restaurants within walking distance.

I was attending a trade show in the area and the organization had a reduced convention rate for the event. I have stayed at other Best Western Plus properties which were very well maintained and updated. The Brandywine Valley Inn was neither. The Inn is a drive up Motel that looks like the drive up Motel we stayed in when we were on the family vacation when we were kids. Not much has changed in the forty or so years. The room were small and cramped. The beds were not great. The bathroom was very small and the shower head had something in it so only the right side of the shower head worked. Travelers beware! I would not recommend this Motel to anyone.

The location is close to restaurants and my family's home. So I will probably stay there again but the size of the room was small. I have stayed in a few different hotels and the rooms with two beds were larger including the beds.

I enjoyed my stay at this Best Western. The most important feature to me for any stay is a hot tub. This hot tub was nice and hot. The jets worked and it was clean. So I was happy. I had several special needs -- printing, faxing, and checking out the night before due to a very early departure for the airport. Hotel staff, from maids, groundskeepers, and reception were friendly and helpful. My room was next to a staff area -- so there were some interesting noises during the day... dryers running and a little chatter. This was fine because at night it was very quiet -- just the way I like it. The room decor was attractive and harmonious. I would stay again.
