Normandy Farm Hotel and Conference Center

I thought this hotel was overpriced for what was on offer. We booked a one night stay because were having dinner with Philly area friends at the hotel's restaurant, The Farmer's Daughter. Dining outside there is quite nice. Check-in was fast and friendly. Our Manor House King room was in one of the outbuildings. In good weather this may be an advantage as the building was dead quiet, but in inclement weather you will have to walk across an uncovered lot to your room. We rode the elevator to a room without much character - the room was spacious, but awkwardly configured -- the TV faced a small settee off to the side and was not mounted at a good angle for viewing in bed. I found the channel selection bewildering - I think that the idea was to use your own streaming account. One robe was provided - otherwise the accommodation was about the level of a Hilton Garden Inn - there was one of those standard shower tubs, not a stall shower. Our building had no vending options and water was not proved at checkout, so had to trudge back to the main building for a drink. The front desk staff offered free water bottles and I bought a drink from the machines in an area off the lobby. A complimentary breakfast was offered - but it was served in the bar and not in the Farmer's Daughter. A buffet offered the usual tasteless steam table scrambled eggs, some good bacon and home fries, and quartered waffles with a few berries. Oddly there was no sliced bread for toast, only bagels, but a decent mini chocolate croissant and cake were on offer. At check out the hotel added a $15.00 resort fee- while this is disclosed if you check your reservation carefully, I am struggling to characterize this as a resort. Perhaps this property is better for a corporate conference than the random guest. For us the extra expense over a chain hotel did not pay off

Our son and his bride were married at The Belle. Many family and friends stayed at the hotel. And we had the rehearsal dinner at the Farmer's Daughter. The rooms were clean, convenient and a great value for the money. The staff was simply excellent. Highly recommend.

Great resort food was okay overall grest experience .
