My friends & I visited the bar to listen to Cantico one week night recently. (A favorite local band from Chester) We sat at the bar & Allie was bar-tending that night & she was fabulous!

We stayed in one of the newly added rooms. Everything was top quality. What impressed me most was the service and the friendly staff. After two long days of traveling my son needed a quiet night.
