What guests think

At Inn of The Dove Romantic Luxury & Business Suites, travelers describe spacious themed suites with private entrances, in-room hot tubs or fireplaces, and a convenient setting, alongside recurring comments about dated decor and maintenance.

Cleanliness is inconsistent, with repeated reports of stained linens, lingering smoke or musty odors, and dirty or poorly cleaned carpets and tubs, though some guests found their rooms very clean. Hot water, jetted tub performance, TV and Wi‑Fi reliability, and mattress comfort vary notably between rooms. Breakfast is a simple grab and go selection of cereal, pastries and coffee rather than a hot buffet, and parking can feel limited at busy times. Expect a private, novelty stay best for couples, but manage expectations on age and maintenance.

We stayed in the dove suite. Pool was amazing. Shower was awesome. Two headed shower big enough for two people no matter what size u r. Bed was comfortable. Check in and check out was fast and easy. We will be back sure. Don’t believe all the bad reviews. Staff was nice. Wouldn’t hurt to upgrade it some but that pool is worth it. So relaxing!

The entire stay wasn’t too bad, but the ages of the rooms does show a little bit. Check in was quick even by an employee still in training (anything she missed was quickly covered by the one watching). Prices of extras available are on par with other similar type hotels (extra soap, bath bombs, teddy bears, roses). A free fire log was provided for the first night of the stay and lasted several hours and provided a decent amount of heat and warmth to the room. The room it self was decent with minor inconveniences that did not take away from room itself (lights not working in hot tub, blown out lightbulbs in room, tape on the headboard). Room was spacious and had more than enough room to not feel cramped even with a bed, hot tub, couch, table and chairs. Walk in shower with shower head on each wall flowed hot water quickly with one covering the marble seat while the other one stopped just short of reaching. Hot tub is personally recommended to be cycled once before use (like similar places) both to flush cold water out of the system along with the usual dirt and debris that can cycle out from sitting unused. (Dirt mostly). Only downside is what seems to be limited parking for each building. Arrived around 10pm and had to park a building away due to all spots for building assigned being taken.

So if you're a germophobe, do NOT come to this place!!! It's kinda gross lol I got the hotel for two nights for me and hubby to have a romantic spot to spend some time together. I didn't realize that it really is just a F**K motel!!! In fact, I think so few people stay here for an actual overnight that our key disabled itself automatically in the morning so we had to get it recoded the next day! The hotel itself is cute, it's just old and dirty. Our room had a huge black stain on the rug by the door. There was BLOOD on one of the pillowcases - GROSS! I called to ask for a new pillowcase but the guy at the front desk (young kid who didn't care about anything) said he couldn't leave to bring me one and it was late and dark and I didn't want to walk around this place alone. I tossed that pillow on the floor and we didn't use it. All in all, we actually had a great stay, but that's because we have a GOOD sense of humor and aren't too grossed out by much. I would recommend this place for 3-4 hours to have "fun" but not for a serious traveller to stay overnight. It's not taht kind of place.

The rooms are Huge and the atmosphere was comforting. The showers were spacious and modernized with double headed shower heads. The only drawback was the head of the bed, by the wall, was six inches below our feet as though the frame dropped support on that end. We put our pillows on the feet end and could sleep without Acid Reflux.

I stayed at the Red Romantic Suite. Overall it's a very nice room. Couple things that I did not find acceptable is the shower. It's very roomy and nice and has two shower heads, however hot water runs out pretty quickly, not even 10 minutes. One showerhead didn't even work properly, water was just coming out very slowly and leaking from the connection. The other works ok but it also was leaking from the connection, squirting water off to the side. My other complaint would be there's barely any outlets near the bed or around the room. Otherwise it's a great room for a romantic getaway.

I liked the spacious room but it was dated and old, while the linens and room were clean, the deodorizer/cleaning odor was horrible. I had to go out and buy a candle to try and over power the smell of the room. It would have also been nice to have more the sheets on the bed. No blanket and old crummy pillows.

The staff was great. It was Valentine’s Day and we received a free bottle of champagne, chocolates in the room and a teddy bear. The room was very clean and accommodating, especially the bathroom. The shower was the best part of the room. The jacuzzi was great, however there wrre a few minor cosmetic issues around the mirror wall that had me worried. Also, very few towels and pillows available, but the staff was very helpful in getting us more. Would visit again!

The room and the grounds are fabulous. My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay in the room. We did, however, have a huge issue with the staff. Our reservation was ruined by the agent who checked us in and not confirming with the day staff that they extended our reservation another night. Because of this, while we were at my nieces graduation, the staff went into the room and removed all of our items from the room. They never called us. They never let us know that this was happening and they just removed everything. When my husband and I returned from the graduation, we could not get in our room and we went to the desk to ask why. We were treated with hostility and ignorance, and handed our items in a big plastic bag. They had taken all of my clothing and threw it into a suitcase with a water cup that had spilled all over my clothes. we were absolutely devastated. I demanded a refund, worked through Expedia who confirmed the refund with them. I have never in the 35 years of traveling have had a staff go in and physically remove all of my items from the room with never mentioned to me. It was absolutely a violation of my privacy.

⭐ 1 Star Inn of the Dove Romantic Suites I had a very disappointing experience at the Inn of the Dove Romantic Suites. From the start, nothing looked like the pictures. The room was extremely outdated, the bedding didn’t seem fresh, and overall the space felt unclean and poorly maintained. The staff were unhelpful and unfriendly—no one seemed to know what was going on or how to help. Then, not even two hours after checking in (around 5 PM), the power went out. When we asked about a refund, we were told we could only get 50% back because we had already checked in at 4 PM. That made no sense. No manager or supervisor was available, and the communication was horrible. This was truly one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Don’t let the online pictures fool you. I would never stay here again and definitely do not recommend it.

The place needs some tender loving care, as I walk in burned carpet in the doorway, carpet also needs to be change, looks old and dusty. Outlet was all wired out with boxed all out. Wifi didn't work. I love the shower, pretty, it was cleaned when we arrived, ac was good. We called for housekeeping but never came to our room. Staff was polite and attentive if we called for towels o water. Overall, it was an okay experience, love the area but dont see myself going back the hotel.

This is a very romantic and exotic place to stay aimed at couples but even as a single traveller is worth the little extra. The shower in the room is big enough with 2 showers to hold a group of 4. The jacuzzi is no more than one or two at a time. The room is large and well heated snd the fireplace is very romantic. I insist on using this accommodation every time i visit Philadelphia in the future. It is a short drive to shopping and eating and the city centre is less than 30 mins by car

One gallon of milk left we had just enough to pour on the cereal. The room was nice. Had a Jetted Tub. It had a small Refrigerator and microwave below a small sink. Coffee maker in the room. A round table between two nice high back chairs. Ground level entrance. When staying at any hotel, I always have a small cooler on wheels for Meds, Milk, water. ( next time I would take Microwaveable Breakfast sandwiches etc. if staying at this hotel)

Its cool to stay in those theme rooms and have a jacuzzi tub but with the smell and low quality breakfast i feel like the price could be lower. I would choose to stay at a hilton or sleep in with a jacuzzi tub for similar or less price. They offer packages with bubble bath and put it next to jacuzzi but then have a sign that you will be charged extra if you use soap in the tub? Confusing .
