Historic lodgings in West Chester, PA - this newly renovated home was a very comfortable place to stay while we were in town for a family wedding. It has all the amenities needed plus it is located within walking distance to many good restaurants in the borough. We toured Valley Forge too which is close by. You can’t go wrong staying here. The owners did a great job with the renovations.
