We stayed here when we visited Longwood Gardens for the Christmas lights. We stayed in one of the rooms with a fireplace. So cozy Bed was very comfortable. The sitting room was beautifully decorated for the holidays. We will definitely go back!

We were in a room with an adjoining door to the next room. The door was not at all soundproofed. The people in that room had a baby who cried a lot during the night and it was very loud. We didn't get much sleep.

The Brandywine River Hotel is a classic, smaller hotel that offers a personal feel. Check in was very easy. Our room was clean and comfortable with a nice view from our second story window. A complimentary breakfast was served in a bright, cheerful room, and we enjoy sitting in their cozy lobby in front of the fireplace while we planned out our morning. I would absolutely stay here again.

While the hotel provided a code for entry, the room number was embedded in the code and not explicily stated. Poor communication for entry details is a problem that needs to be fixed. More importantly, there was no information on when breakfast started. There is no coffee in the rooms and none made in the pantry area. When breakfast is included it needs to be available for early risers. Inexcusable.

Bed needs work, not comfortable because you roll into the center hole. Mattress needs replacement. Had to wait for coffee to be made and then it was so weak it was undrinkable.

Good experience. Clean room. I suggest having a microwave and coffee machine and ice bucket in each room. Also, the fridge didn’t have a freezer section.

Loved this hotel
It’s not the Taj Mahal but combines a wonderfully quaint and warm atmosphere with a clean room. Room was a bit small but offered a beautiful bed, love seat and surprisingly a gas fireplace that was fully operational! The complimentary breakfast was great and filled us up for the long drive home. THANK YOU Brandywine River, you were awesome.

While the hotel is on busy Route 1, it was well set back from the road and very quiet. There are very good restaurants within walking distance right at the bottom of the hotel driveway.

If you are only looking for place to sleep with a continental breakfast before you depart, and a reasonable price, this is the place for you. Our room was satisfactory for what I needed. Our stay was on Thanksgiving evening and about a ten minute drive from where we were visiting that day, a time when hotels nearer to our destination were already full, so the location was not ideal but acceptable. The room had a door to the adjoining room which was locked, but sounds from that room were very audible. Fortunately our neighbors quit talking about the time we decided to sleep. The continental breakfast options were very basic- cereal, bagels, pastries, coffee, yogurt, and boiled eggs. Overall I thought what the hotel offered was reasonable for the price, but anyone expecting luxury from this site would be disappointed.

Unfortunately, walls are paper thin and if the adjoining room occupants watch TV at ear splitting volume, it can make for a long night.
