Great little escape!

I stayed at this hotel with my family a few weeks ago and it was lovely! The room looked just like the picture, the breakfast was great, and the service was definatley up to par.
The best part of the hotel is the service! Everyone was very nice, from the housekeeping staff to the front desk staff. We were checked in by a very young girl. As soon as i saw her working the desk i assumed she would be a problem (i have found many young people to be quite rude lately), but she was a gem! We arrived quite a few hours early on a Sunday, but she didn't mind at all. She took all of our information so that we only had to collect our keys when the room was ready, and sent us into Kennett Square for the afternoon. We had brunch at a great little cafe, Sunrise, and were even waited on by the young girl's mother. This alone showed us how nice and quaint a small town could be!
After we walked around Kennett Square for a but, we went back to the hotel. There was still some time untill the room would be ready, but the receptionist (the same young girl) opened up the afternoon tea early for us to enjoy. She even gave us some tips on where to go and what to do in the area! She wrote down her favorite places, along with phone numbers and short cuts. When she noticed my son looking over some college applications for the fall, she gave him her full attention! She spent the next half hour talking with us about her college experience.
All in all we had a lovely time in Chadds Ford. Comfy beds, great food and culture, lovely atmosphere, and impeccable staff!!! We did not see the young girl again after that day, some one mentioned she only works on Sunday mornings, but she really made our stay!
The Brandywine River Hotel is most definitely worth the money!!!
