The room was fine, except there are no individual climate controls, grateful for the extra blanket since the AC was cold. Breakfast is \"grab and go,\" but by the time I got to reception, there wasn't much to \"grab.\" Please do check your reservation carefully if you book through a third party. We had booked three rooms, and only one was reserved. Also please be careful about billing. Even though they said there was only one reservation, they put two rooms on my credit card. Which was it - only one room reserved or two for billing purposes? Just be careful when reserving here.

Our seven-night stay was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences we've had.
The property and historic buildings are beautiful, and we appreciate their charm. However, historic character shouldn't come at the expense of basic modern conveniences. In today's world, guests rely on cell phones and other devices, yet the electrical outlets in both rooms were so worn out they wouldn't hold a plug.
Our original room also had a slow-draining bathroom sink and peeling paint on the bathroom ceiling. We overlooked these issues until the air conditioning completely failed after a long day of sightseeing. The hotel temporarily repaired it with a replacement fuse, but it failed again the following night. After another exhausting day touring Philadelphia, we didn't get moved to another room until nearly 2:00 a.m., forcing us to pack and relocate in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, the replacement room had the same worn-out electrical outlets.
The staff was courteous and did their best to help. My frustration is with management for renting rooms with obvious maintenance problems. Functioning air conditioning, usable electrical outlets, working plumbing, and properly maintained rooms are basic expectations.
While the grounds are lovely, the guest rooms fell far below expectations. Considering the premium rates charged, we expected a clean, comfortable, and well-maintained room. Sadly, that was not the experience we had. We cannot recommend this property for a stay of any length

The property was nice and the staff was very nice. However, our air conditioner leaked water on the floor …. as in the floor was soaked. We reported it on Saturday night. We checked out Monday morning. It was never fixed. Their solution was to give us more towels to put on the floor. My husband had to walk on the soaked floor to get in and out of bed.
On a good note they serve an amazing complimentary breakfast on the weekend.

I liked the beautiful grounds and historic buildings, however, what is interesting historically isn’t necessarily ideal living in a modern age. The room was small, lacked a coffee maker anywhere near the room, and the ceilings in the room and bathroom were damaged and peeling. The bed was comfortable, but had only a thin cotton coverlet, with a similar one in the closet. The food, which was catered for a wedding, was uninspired and average.

Everything was great but the room was freezing. Not sure why the temp was at 60 degrees? I turned it off. A warm blanket in the closet would have been nice. Also, consider putting coffee pot in the rooms. It’s nice not to have to dress and go find coffee early in the morning.

Absolutely terrific inn. Beautiful park like seeing belaying the fact it is minutes from a major highway. Buildings are really beautiful. The staff is helpful. It was great sleeping with the windows open and fresh breezes keeping the room quite comfortable without using the A/C.
Breakfast is only available on the weekends from 8-9:30.
We were upstairs and I should note I'm 6'3\", our room had gables and the ceiling was in the way of my head in the bathroom and on one side of the bead, plus there were lots of steps up to the room. Not a show stopper, but next time we'll stay downstairs

I stayed in this hotel with my young daughter and my elderly parents. We reserved two rooms in the “Barn” section of your property.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing due to unacceptable room conditions. The rooms were uncomfortably cold throughout the entire night. Despite the outside temperature being around 40°F, the air conditioning appeared to be running continuously, and we were unable to turn it off or switch to heat.

My elderly parents were so cold that they even feel comfortable to take off their clothes to take a shower!
My 8-year-old daughter woke up during the night due to the cold and had to sleep in her winter jacket, as the extra blankets provided did not help!!

This level of discomfort is far below reasonable expectations, especially considering the price we paid for the rooms. Instead of enjoying our stay, my parents couldn't wait until morning so we could leave and warm up somewhere else.

I brought my parents to Pennsylvania to show them around, as they are visiting from another country, and unfortunately, this experience left a very poor impression.
The most interesting thing that I did email the hotel and they NEVER were back to me!! Unbelievable how people are running their businesses right now....

Its a lovely property w/a farm feel. The staff were nice and the food was delicious.. happy hour was a great touch and max the bartender was on point with those margaritas!! The room however. I booked a queen suite w/sitting area and unfortunately got a king rm, which they said was an upgrade, but it had no separate sitting area which was why i choose the queen rm. I was definitely disappointed in that it made it harder to achieve my plans for the stay.. the checkout was smooth and the woman at the front desk was very insightful in telling me that some sites were advertising rooms that werent available and there was a meeting coming up to discuss the matter. All and all the Joseph ambler inn was a quiet relaxing stay. The grounds are beautiful and the accommodations are good.

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.

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..

No Warm Water!

This hotel is classy and colonial feel is very nice.

My only complaint is the water in the rest room took a long time to get warm! The dual shower did work properly as well! Everything else was very nice!

Staff were incredibly nice, professional and fast. Beautiful old buildings and wooded farm estate with walking trails and an gorgeous 11 mile bike trail access. Complete with the best restaurant in the area. Charming and comfortable. Will never stay anywhere else.

My husband, and I really enjoyed our stay here. We took my son on the Santa Express in New Hope PA and stayed here. it was 30 minutes away but we are extremely we chose to stay here. The room was quaint and cozy. The room had exposed brick, an electric fireplace a sofa and a nice flat screen TV. The room itself was very clean and sanitized. The staff was friendly and they served a grab and go breakfast and had coffee all day in the reception area. We will be staying here again.

Great place for overnight

Really lovely spot for our anniversary! Front desk staff were very friendly and professional. The room was clean (some stains on the carpet, but I wasn't expecting a 5 star resort, so I didn't mind) and the complimentary breakfast was great. The house that our room was in was beautifully decorated for the holidays and we felt very safe. Would absolutely go back!

Room was a nice size but the bed was so uncomfortable and felt like you would bounce off when sitting down. Sunk down in the middle so threw out our backs and we didn't sleep well. Last time we stayed, we had a mini suite and the bed was amazing. This room had no mini fridge or microwave and no ice available. No chair to sit in other than the bed either.

Nearby police K-9's bark

We had a limited stay, 2 days but due to COVID we didn't dine at the restaurant - though when we walked by, the food looked good. The only thing that was unpleasant here was the barking dogs at 3am and other times. I mentioned it to the front desk and they said they had gotten similar complaints and that it was the police K-9 unit nearby and they've raised the issue with the police to no avail. Surprising that K-9's would bark all night and police would let them, and very discourteous of them. Not anything the hotel can do about it, but something to keep in mind.

I wanted to like this place, but was dissapointed

I really wanted to like this place but it just didn't happen. There was no hot water to shower, I let it run for 20 minutes and it was freezing cold, so my morning was a little difficult and it wasn't fun flying home on a 4 hour flight after check-out feeling dirty. There were hardly any guests in the hotel, yet they placed two groups of people next to my room and they were up partying till 2am. The walls are paper thin so it was impossible to sleep. The bed had no comforter, only a bedsheet and a decorative top sheet that was rough and thin, so I woke up throughout the night freezing cold. I will say the pillows were very nice though. But some of these small details make a big difference, and I hope this Inn can figure out how to make some changes to improve the customer's experience because a little goes a long way.

Instead of having cards to swipe into your room, they have actual keys which was unique. Our room didn’t have a refrigerator which wasn’t ideal. overall I’d stay again, the vibe and atmosphere is different then what you’d get at a basic hotel room.

Overall property was nice, but individual room lacked. We may have been the only ones there due to Covid, yet our requested king size bed room was unprepared for us upon arrival at 10 PM. The sheets were changed upon our request to prepare the room for our stay, but dirty pillow cases remained. Musty odor prevailed. Breakfast consisted of 3 day old danish, which we did not eat. Will not return.

Great place

This Inn is a hidden gem. We had a wonderful stay. The 200 year old buildings are located on a lovely area tucked back far enough from the highway so that you are not disturbed by traffic noise. It is pleasant and quiet. We enjoyed just sitting on the patio outside of our room. The restaurant and bar are both excellent. In the midst of the COVID problem, you don't have the normal interaction with staff; however, the staff we did see was very friendly and attentive. Rooms are large, clean, and comfortable. Great value; great place to stay; we will certainly return.

We checked in Friday night, after dark and raining. Front desk was difficult to find, however Dominic was very helpful showing us to our room. Later that night Dominic supplied us with a box fan we need to facilitate sleep. Very helpful young man.
We were gone all day Saturday visiting family and did not return until after 8:00 PM. Unfortunately the only route I knew took us through the restaurant seating area. Only later did I discover a alternate route. All three nights we enjoyed the room and especially the memory foam mattress. We are planning purchasing one ourselves. Sunday we had lunch outside with family. Beautiful setting, great service with excellent food.
Sunday afternoon I went for a walk across the street and snapped this picture of a barn.
Beautiful place, we will be back.

very small cozy room with jacuzzi. But no fridge?

Good room, very small though and didn’t have a refrigerator which was unheard of for me. Especially when they have a restaurant there and I had left overs... Tv was 32 inches - could have been bigger.

Cozy room though and beautiful scenery.
