Hotéis em Germantown-Chestnut Hill, Filadélfia

Prós: The helpfulness of the owner in helping us with suggested activities and shortcuts. She knew great places to see and where to eat. We did what she said and it turned out great. We had not.been to the Philadelphia area before. Her breakfast fare is ample with fresh fruits and special breads and cereals. She does a great job. Ultra close and convenient location next to trains.

Contras: No significant deficiencies. Gang bathroom, but everyone is friendly and it works just fine.

Prós: Bed was comfortable, property has friendly cats. Owner was friendly and accommodating.

Prós: The Host has 3 cats, we're animal lovers so we really enjoyed to pet them! The Breakfast was very good too! Everyday fresh fruits and a lot more! She knows everyhing about Philadelphia and can help you with any question about the City.

Prós: The neighbor had a charm & household . Close to transportations. Out side of the city but worth it for the place & price.

Contras: Wanted to take cat home, he a charmer.

Prós: Owner was very nice very informative and knowledgeable about the history of the area and ideas for places to visit for dining and entertainment

Contras: Beware. Property is not as described. This is a mostly redone row house/duplex built in 1905. There are only three rooms plus the owner. Must read the fine print. Owner has cats that have free range of the house, including any room with the door open. One cat jumped up on my chair at breakfast to sniff my food. UPON ARRIVAL THE OWNER DEMANDED CASH - insisted on it five times despite stated policies that she will accept VISA. I felt incredibly unwelcome. She said she was glad I booked because i paid for the most expensive room. SHE INSISTED I DRIVE TO A RUNDOWN GAS STATION AND USE THE ATM Who carries cash these days? Easy solution - raise the price 5% to cover fees, and then be nice to guests. PARKING IS NOT INCLUDED. It is street parking only, on a very narrow old street, parallel parking only, if you can find it. Bathroom was shared with the owner and one other tenant and was not clean. Bath mats had not been washed for some time. Breakfast is NOT included. BREAKFAST IS CONTINENTAL ONLY with fruit, cereal and breads. Do not stay if you do not eat wheat or are gluten free. I don’t, but was hungry and now regret it. The bread I tried was stale and dry. The owner talks non-stop and it’s hard to get a word in edgewise, as in for a full hour of breakfast. I don’t care about her entire work history. As a woman traveling alone, I did not feel safe in the neighborhood. Breakfast is at 8 am sharp or no breakfast. I stayed on a Saturday night - after “breakfast” Sunday morning, she left at 9 am sharp because “she sings in the church choir.” Overall, a huge regret I stayed here. I would have left immediately if I could have a refund.

Contras: My parents came out to Philadelphia with me to help me find a place to live. The Burbridge St. B&B had a room available for 3 people and served breakfast for a decent price. It seemed like a great deal. However, the price for the room was not worth the emotional stress, uncleanliness of the house, moldy breakfast, and overall unpleasantness of Ms. Hague. Here are my grievances: 1. A cat roams the premises. - It is only mentioned in the Information section of her website that she has a cat that roams the premise, and the text is buried. So, if you are allergic to cats, DO NOT stay here. When she led us to our room, the cat followed and jumped on to our bed. There was cat hair on our bed, floor and towels. 2. The parlor room advertises enough room for 3 people. However, the double bed is not big enough for 2 people. - The room plus the cot should have been advertised as enough room for 2 people, not 3. I ended up sleeping on the love seat in the room my entire stay. 3. Breakfast was moldy. - We were served moldy cantaloupe, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. The cherries were "hairy" with mold. The milk was chunky. The bread was previously frozen and looked a few years old. 4. She speaks unkindly of past guests - She told us stories about guests who were "fat whales" and "obsese-350-pound teenagers." 5. She scolded and embarrassed guests in front of other guests. 6. She accused me of breaking her chair and wanted to charge me $75 to repair it - Weighing 130 lbs., I was sitting in her antique dining chair, which broke off a piece of wood and showed a crack between the spindle and back of the chair. She asked me if it was broke and cussed at me with the F-bomb. She then scolded me in front of guests and demanded me pay $75 to repair it. I told her no, to which she told me to “get out of her house” and to “join the list of thieves.” 7. You share a bathroom with her and other guests. Needless to say, my stay at the Burbridge St. B&B was not a comfortable and restful one. The trip was already stressful due to looking for a home in a new city, but Ms. Hague’s unkind treatment and poor hospitality towards me and my family only added more stress to our trip. She is not a kind woman, and I do not recommend this place to even my worst enemy. The Burbridge St. B&B is dirty, cluttered, unsanitary, and unwelcoming. Do not spend your money or your time at this place. You will be disappointed.

Prós: We were greeted by Ms. Marney, the innkeeper, as well as several playful and loving cats. She showed us to our very spacious room which had boatloads of art. Marney had a map of the city and several near by food destinations, which she briefly explained. Breakfast was a variety of sweet fresh fruit, different breads, juices, and cereals; as well as informative and interesting conversations. The kitties also like to come in your room and sleep with you if you leave your door open a crack.

Contras: I was confused about the "on-site" parking. Being from Buffalo, we have a lot more driveways. At the Burbridge St. B & B, the "on-site" parking promise really means street parking but it is a short one way street that seems to have enough parking. Also, Marney prepares breakfast each morning for 7:30am-9:00am. While we did like the actual breakfast, it was a tad bit earlier than we normally prefer. Being on vacation we would have liked to sleep in until about 9:00am, but everyone is different and it's really not a big deal. Same with the actual bed's firmness, it was not my favorite but it was a bed after a long day of walking, driving, and exploring...so it got the job done!

Prós: Charming and characterful old house. Owner very friendly and knowledgeable on local area and local art and history. Breakfast around table with other guest was a nice opportunity to chat and breakfast nicely presented with a lovely fruit plate and choice of cereals. Wide choice of bread and good coffee too. Well located only a short walk to metro station which meant no need to use car into city. Lovely shower in shared bathroom.

Contras: No proper closures on door to bedroom and shared bathroom. Unable to close door when going out which enabled cat to enter and be sitting on the bed when we returned. Cat also allowed to be on breakfast table during day. In room corners and behind and under bed a lot of dust and cobwebs
