The Inn at Montchanin Village & Spa - A Historic Hotel of America

We stayed one night while visiting Longwood Gardens and Winterthur. We had a lovely room with a well outfitted bathroom, complete with robes and a towel warmer. We also had a microwave and fridge with complementary soda, water and coffee. The lobby area was beautifully decorated for Christmas, the hearth was lit and we sat in the lobby for a few hours in the evening. We had a great stay and would definitely return!

This is a cool historic property that used to be part of the Winterthur estate, one of the Dupont family’s properties in the area, and was the perfect base for our visit to Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley, during which we visited Winterthur, Nemours Estate, Hagley Museum, and Longwood Gardens, all within 5-17 minutes driving distance. ||I booked a 2-bedroom suite for my family, and what I liked about this property is that the rooms have separate bathrooms, and depending on the layout, the rooms could either both be on the same floor, or on separate floors, so it was very private. I was traveling with my husband, our toddler, and my parents, so this setup was ideal for us. ||We were given a 3-floor apartment, so the bedrooms are on the 2nd & 3rd floors, with a living room area on the g

To begin with this was far from cozy. The 2 room suite was a very tiny cottage with a very small sitting area for 4 people. Not very comfortable. They also don't tell you that you have to walk up and down small sets of steps and across walkways to get to your "suite" with your luggage. The man at the desk was not very personable. Would not hurt to smile. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. Also, they could not accommodate 4 people at the same time for spa services with 6 weeks advance notice.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel has a calm, relaxed vibe that made it easy to unwind after a long day. The decor felt modern without being cold, and everything was spotlessly clean. The staff was welcoming from the moment I arrived and gave great local recommendations. My room was quiet and comfortable, with all the essentials. It’s not overly fancy, but it’s well-run and clearly cared for. Would absolutely return.

We stayed in the Jefferson room. While spacious, the furniture was oddly placed, and the living room rug was in the bathroom. There were mismatched lamp shades, broken blind slats, and very few outlets. This was not a comfortable stay. I expect better at this price point.
