Fodor's Expert Review Chestnut Hill Hotel

This attractive midsize hotel is the place to rest if you want to station yourself in Northwest Philadelphia; it's not fancy, but it's well run and offers a perfectly pleasant stay at a great location. The rooms, split between the main building and two offshoot structures (the Post Office and the Carriage House), are quirky and quiet, almost as if you're staying in the comfortable spare bedroom of a friend. Every room has a refrigerator, flat-screen television, and coffeemaker. On-the-premises dining options include the Chestnut Grill, Adelina's, and casual fare at the Market at the Fareway.
