We stayed here recently for a wedding and had a great time. The grounds are nicely laid out and the location in relation to the area is perfect. The food is pretty decent so there are few complaints there (except for breakfast which was utterly disappointing) and the lack of coffee makers in the room meant you had to go... More

My husband and I joined the JAI for the Wine Dinner! What a great time! Stags' Leap Winery paired a spectacular dinner with some of their best wine. The happy hour with appetizers was held outside in a beautiful setting. The amazing dinner was held in the newly expanded Ballroom. We chose to stay overnight in one of the rooms... More

We recently stayed in the Skippack Room in the barn/restaurant building. I wish i could say the room was nice, but it was a dump. The carpet was worn out, the wall and ceiling paint was bubbled and riddled with marks, and furniture was ready for Goodwill. Even the framed pictures on the walls were stained (why? Is that suppose... More

My wife and I stayed at the JAI on a trip to Doylestown, PA. We arrived to find what seemed to be a beautiful place. The grounds had to look of a small historic village green. We tried to check in to our room at 2:05 only to be told, qwithout even checking, that the room would not be ready... More

I think that you hit the issue right on the nose. "Too big to be a B&B and too small to be a hotel." We keep the B&B designation because our 5 buildings are all historic buildings renovated with modern conveniences and decorated with antique or period reproduction furnishings. We avoid being grouped into the hotel designation because we don't... More

My wife and I were attracted by the website's description "tucked away on 12 acres of rolling countryside". In reality our room in the John Roberts House was situated along a busy and noisy four lane road with neon signs for Costco and Best Buy across the street. No doubt at one point the Inn was a lovely place in... More

The Joseph Ambler Inn has a total of 52 rooms and 7 different types. We have a wide variety of rooms to try and appeal to everyone's different style. For the guests looking... More

The room felt like I was walking into a time warp, it felt like I was staying at the Bates Motel. Old, dusty, musty, shabby, spider webs, the cat 'shadow' wanders the area catching mice. I guess that's what you get when you stay in the Barn. There is no room service, no elevator, no turn down service, no advance... More

I would just like to address some of the complaints from this review. Starting with dining, Happy Hour pricing is automatically calculated by our computer system for all order placed in the bar JPub. Happy Hour pricing is applied during the advertised times in our marketing literature. Room Service orders can be placed in person or via phone with our... More
