I would recommend this hotel for its beautiful location and landscaping. The furniture is the room was older and outdated, not just the decor. There used to be a refrigerator in the room but ours was missing. The staff was friendly.

We stayed at the Desmond after taking the QVC Studio Tour. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfy. We grabbed a drink in the Fox and the Hound they had a good variety of beers to offer. The Sunday brunch in the Hunt Room was classic and had a wide... More

Second visit. Love the hotel. Very attentive staff. Great location. Super patio for dinner and cocktails. Great food. My fav PA stop! Quiet rooms. Spacious baths. Close to everything. Great wine list. Quiet areas plus lots of activity in the pub. Would be great venue for wedding or conference. Loved our second stay.

When I called last minute to get a room the front desk clerk did not pressure me at all. Told me to drive safely etc. I was so tired and drove up to the hotel late on a Wednesday night. The nicest feeling was when I walked in and was greeted by the doorman and the desk clerks welcomed me.... More

The Desmond always has great service, it is somewhat dated, but I noticed on my last stay that they are slowly getting rid of the "grandma's house" feel. It is fairly quiet and convenient to walk to the more casual bar across the street "Baxter's", if you are not in the mood for the more upscale atmosphere in the bar... More
