    Janet the Inn Keeper was AMAZING! She took care of taxi/travel details, offered sightseeing tips with maps and brochures. She even drove us herself to one of our dinner meetings! And most importantly she was sensitive to our families needs and managed room cleaning and assistance on our schedule. Would HIGHLY recommend the Spruce Hill Manor - Kathy, Lynn and Celeste

    A gem in Philadelphia!

    Janet, the Innkeeper is a delight! She made us feel at home from the moment we walked in the door! She had several little extras including Halloween candy and other seasonal treats. The B&B is lovely and we we more that pleased with our stay. I highly recommend!!

    Beautifully decked out with antique furniture, mirrors, upholstery etc, it was a joy to stay here. In a great location for a taste of suburbia whilst being within walking distance of the centre and great places to eat. I wish we'd been able to stay longer and enjoy the porch and garden. We'll be back!

    Unexpected Gem!

    From Janet's greet to goodbye, my stay was outstanding. My room was large, clean with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast included an abundance of fresh fruit, breads, yogurts & juices. The location is close to my business downtown. Janet went out of her way to insure that my stay was perfect. When ever im in Philly, I know were i will be staying. Thanks so much! Paul

    Beautiful and quaint old house a little out of the way and without suitable parking, albeit on-street available on first come first served basis and with time limit. Steep stairs both to house and inside to lug suitcases so beware. Bedrooms large and definitely charming but with major faults - very loud window A/C, tiny TV that only one person can really view and bathroom extremely hot as not air conditioned. Breakfast very ordinary during week-days and mostly from packets - not quite sure why they could not offer cooked breakfast at the rates charged - they are competing at a price level of many 4 star Hotels that do. No real sitting area as theirs double as office so a little uncomfortable to relax in so bedroom only option - not great. Breakfast room however well laid out and attractive. Hosts charming and attentive but ultimately while that is nice, what is more important is the quality of the accomodation and food offered and they were a little below average in our view and we go to a lot of B&B's.
