Stay in a 280 year old house!

This is a special piece of history that has been comfortably updated and expanded. We were there during a quiet week, and it felt magical. The amenities are minimal, but there's plenty of common spaces and historical charm. Kept nice and clean.

It was a campus like setting. Our room had a patio with lovely, green surroundings. On arrival, we were given rooms on the 3rd level with no elevator. I am recovering from knee surgery and requested a change to a first floor room. The staff was very accommodating.

The property is beautiful. We're very happy to have had this experience. It is an Inn not a cookie cutter hotel. We were on the second floor. There was no elevator. There were also no ice machines. You had to go to the kitchen for ice. I would reccomend this for a romantic get away, not a family vacation.

Great Service

My family booked 3 King rooms and we were all quite comfortable in our rooms as well as the common areas. Very relaxing and private. The employees we encountered were all very courteous and helpful. We enjoyed both lunch and dinner at the on-site restaurant and were very impressed with the quality of the the appetizers, entrees and desserts. The "JAI Tai" drink was also delicious!

Love this property! I was attending a wedding in Rydal, half an hour a way, and I happily stayed here at JAI. After we arrived from the wedding, it was late and the kitchen was closed. Bought a couple of pizzas nearby and the manager happily let us eat outside in the terrace, brought us water, napkins, etc. Terrific experience!

Cute little place, nice staff.

Great value for the price. Check-in was easy and staff was nice. Room was above their little pub, but it wasn't noisy. The cold water in our sink did not work but the hot water in the shower did and that's all that really mattered. Shower and room were clean. Having a night cap down at the bar was nice too.

Disappointing and Dangerous

A snowstorm hit the day before and the parking lot was still barely addressed. Ice everywhere, barely any salt laid and my husband slipped as a result. When we reported to management their answer was “well we reached out to the landscaping company”. It was one of the WORST business lots I have ever seen an entire day after a storm. Nowhere in the area was that poorly plowed or that dangerous. It’s a law suit waiting to happen that they treated too nonchalantly. The concierge is unfriendly and acts like you are an inconvenience by checking in, etc. We couldn’t get an early check in yet the entire house we stayed in was empty, we were the only guests for the 4+ suites. Probably one of the few guests in the entire place. One of the worst mattresses we’ve ever slept on. My kids have $100 mattresses off Amazon that feel luxurious compared to what we had. You literally roll and sink into the middle. Extremely disappointed was an understatement. I had been here before for events and was blown away by everything. Now this place is comparable to your basic hotel stay anywhere. It has definitely gone down hill over the years and needs some overhaul.

Will not recommend this place.

Room wasn’t clean.. hair in bathroom. Turned on ceiling fan, dirt and debri went all over. Bedding didn’t cover box spring of mattress well... box spring that was visible.. was filthy. Remote didn’t work. No fridge, no microwave. Had to get ice from front desk. Left room around 10 or so, same night. Room smelled like the soap from lower floor.. other guest below we’re taking a shower.. and you can clearly hear other guests... uncomfortable.. so we left..
