The Chestnut Inn is a historic hotel in an interesting area with quirky shops to explore, great architecture and a variety of restaurants in easy walking distance. We stayed in the Carriage House section of the hotel, which is a different building from the main part of the hotel. Our room had a gas-lit fireplace across from the bed, an enormous television, a clawfoot tub and a shower. The closet had a light that turned on when you opened the door. Inside our closet we found a cozy bathrobe; a large, umbrella and a flashlight. Thoughtful touches!
I was less than thrilled with the breakfast offerings because they were all sweet (pastries). I prefer cheese, tomatoes, onions, etc.
Be aware that the hotel does not have a dedicated parking area. Rather, the hotel shares a large parking lot with a restaurant, the Chestnut Hill Tap Room, and Market building full of small, interesting, food vendors.
The market building was quite busy all day Saturday and the vibe was young, friendly and fun with a big outdoor fire pit and people gathering to enjoy food with friends. The downside is that you may have to park on the street if you arrive during the busiest part of the day.
There is one electric car charger in parking lot. It was a "Green Spot" level 1 charger so it took hours for my car to charge fully --- but, since we were going to be eating and sleeping nearby, that was pretty darn convenient!
All staff members with whom I spoke were friendly and helpful.
