Haddonfield Inn

My husband and I went to stay at the Haddonfield Inn recently to celebrate our anniversary. While I can see how this would be a nice place to stay if you are paying the corporate rate the inn is truly not worth paying more than that. This review is based on a two night stay in the Hong Kong room. Pros: The inn is lovely to look at and very clean. The innkeepers put a lot of care into the breakfasts they serve each morning and are often helpful if you have a question or request. The onsite parking is convenient. Cons:The bed was hard and squeaky, which is difficult to forgive on one's anniversary. One of the things that attracted us to this room was the presence of a whirlpool tub because we both enjoy soaking our stress away at the end of the day. However, the tub was quite shallow and did not allow for a comfortable full immersion. The water pressure was a bit anemic, the water itself felt oily and made it difficult to feel clean after bathing, and the temperature controls for the water were difficult to gauge, in a Goldie-Locks manner: too hot, too cold, and never just right. The towels are newer towels that have not been cleaned sufficiently to remove the layer of softener that allows the towels to become absorbent. The windows in the bedroom are older and do not close all the way shut. The air temperature is controlled externally to the room and, while they will change it for you, they display a reticence to do so. While the inn is beautiful we will never make a return visit. We rarely have the chance to take vacations together and the few times that we do so we look for inns that seem to be comfortable getaways. While the corporate price would be reasonable, the standard price at the Haddonsfield Inn is too high for the quality of the stay.

I stayed at the Haddonfield Inn during the month of December 2011 and early January 2012 and it was like living in a Christmas Card. A wonderful place to stay in December! The highlights of my stay are as follows: 1. Warm Hospitality 2. Good Value for a month stay. 3. Pleasant ambiance throughout the Inn. 4. Victorian Architecture/Decor with pleasant holiday decorations. 5. Very comfortable bed and room. I stayed in the Hong Kong Room. 6. Excellent breakfast and all day/evening snacks/beverages. 7. Refrigerator in room for a long stay. 8. Convenient location and within walking distance to downtown Historic Haddonfield and the Haddonfield restaurants. 9. Anastasia, JoAnn and Shari take good care of the guests. 10. Gas Fireplace and Jacuzzi tub in the room. 11. The setting of the Inn is in Historic Victorian Haddonfield and founded in 1672. 12. The owners, Fred and Nancy are friendly and interact with guests. There is an elevator in the Inn for handicapped accessibility and the Inn is pet friendly. There are also free long distance calls and WIFI. I already booked my stay for the month of December 2012 and I recommended the Inn to my friends in New Jersey and here in San Antonio, Texas. Jim P.

Thank you so much for a fantastic wedding night stay! Truly amazing place!

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay! The breakfast was scrumptious and the bed was simply heavenly…We had an amazing time here! Hope we’ll be back soon! You guys really do have a lovely town and a wonderful neighborhood, the place is absolutely beautiful, especially in this season. P.S. The Frank Sinatra playing in the background really sets the mood!

Thank you so very much for a wonderful stay! We enjoyed every aspect of our short time away from the hullaballo of life: cozy room, delicious breakfast, phenomenal service, and a home away from home! P.S. We had many local friends inquire about the inn and we will be sure to pass along a glowing recommendation!

Time is too short, but driving in and seeing all the Christmas lights – the houses look so warm and friendly. The Rose Room is heaven on earth to the cold, tired traveler. I feel welcome.
