Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stayed here about 2 years ago and it was OK at best. Well OK would have been a big step up from what we experienced this time around. Extremely rundown, sheets were worn and thin but not as worn and thin as the towels. Really, you expect people to dry off with those things? There were boxes of tile stacked outside the office that were there two years ago, so that should tell you the speed at which renovations take place here! This place will definitely not be on our "stop list" the next time through West Chester.

Very nice service, room is a bit outdated, but for the price it wasn't too bad for one night. Air conditioning worked great, no wifi though. Renovated bathrooms. Very quiet, I was worried you would be able to hear the highway but you can't at all.

I had to use earplugs to sleep because of noises. The bathroom is the size of a small closet and the closet is big enough to have been a bathroom. I was not greeted in friendly manner upon arrival. What I thought was a light switch negatively affected the Dish TV. Never again.

While this place is not a luxury hotel by any means, it's clean and very reasonably priced. It's a bit dated, but they are doing renovations. The only problems are that the doors for the rooms are very hard to open and close, and the Dish Network TV system is awful. The do have XFINITY wifi, though, so if you have Netflix, you'll be ok.

The room was clean apart from the dead cricket in the closet area and the dead flies in the window. It was definitely a no-frills, roadside experience but was hassle-free. The staff were cheerful and helpful. It was exactly what I needed but I wouldn't recommend using it as a vacation stop.

From carpets to bathrooms. We want to assure you that we will do our best to make your next stay more comfortable.

The air conditioner was full of dust, the doors were dirty, the carpet was dingy, and there was an odd smell. No coffee pot, only one small garbage in bathroom, some broken drawers, and other drawers were dusty. The owners and housekeeper were nice.

Needed a place to crash for the night and this fit the bill. Air conditioner is located in the closet, which was weird and made cooling the room take longer than normal, but otherwise it was what was advertised.
