蒙查寧鄉村水療飯店-美國曆史飯店

Gosh I wanted to love this place. I was always taught if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. But when good hard earned money is involved, I have too. I was excited to be back to the area I grew up in and visit family. I will start with the good: Its very quaint, the shower was great, love the lotion and bathrobe in the unit! Very cozy. Yet: It should be called the Inn at Not Much Happening - they have a beautiful lodge which for the nightly price, offer a cocktail reception (Friday only) with some light bites and cocktails; on them! The Bad - honestly to not have the ability to have your key card work (don't have near any cell phone or credit cards - wipes it out). No other low or high end hotel has this issue (its very rare); not here. We were locked out, several times; 11am and 8am. Perhaps add more of a living room update w/furniture - and make sure if you have a fireplace -- its working. Hello its December and we wanted to have a working fireplace - but not here! The Ugly: Well the in-room Mixpresso coffee maker is a nice bonus, however, in finding an issue with the way it was dripping into the coffee mug, taking it apart and guess what "A BUG" was clogging the drip. This was after several cups were used. For the money - this place should be top notch, more amenities, friendlier a.m. front desk staff. After a stay I like to think to myself, I'll definitely be back, however, I will not be back to the Inn at Montchanin. Its truly a shame.

My wife and I stayed at the Inn for three nights as part of my convalescence. Our mission was to sample the local attractions: Longwood Gardens, Nemours Mansion, Winterthur and Hagley. Things went downhill (literally & metaphorically) as soon as we arrived. A large flight of steps greets you en route to Reception. No-one was at the desk. There was a bell but it wasn’t the right one to call for service. When someone arrived, the atmosphere was less than effusive. Our assigned quarters were identified on a map, and the 250Ft. walking route from the car park had to be explained… it was both downhill to get to the building, then across a public road, then down steps, then up more steps to get to our door. No help was offered for our luggage which, thankfully, was light. As we got into our rooms, we remarked to each other: we have to do that in reverse every day. For my part, my agility was seriously constrained, while my wife needs to rest every 100Ft. The environs of the building were poorly maintained with cracked concrete, unkempt shrubs and trees, and a busy road immediately in front of the building. Inside, while the decor and furnishings were quaint but a little care-worn, the bedroom and bathroom were on the second floor - accessed via a ridiculously hazardous “pulpit staircase” which required 100% concentration and a firm grip on the handrail. The corner steps at the bottom were hardly big enough to land your foot squarely and safely so we decided to leave the luggage on the first floor and transfer our things up to the bedroom / bathroom as needed. The HVAC controllers were loose and difficult to use: it was either warm or chilly. The Inn’s restaurant was closed while we were there; we didn’t bother with the “grab and go” breakfast (more calories to get there than the breakfast would deliver!); and, thankfully, we found some nice eateries in the district. The result was that the Inn didn’t satisfy in any way: it was more of a constraint than an advantage in our touring; and we won’t be going back.
