The hotel was lovely, nicely located but we were surprised by the $20 a day charge to self park and that no breakfast was provided on Sunday, although it stated that breakfast was included.

It was ok!? Parking and traffic in new hope is a challenge and they handled it pretty well. Pet annoyance I have is when the do not disturb sign is clearly on the door why does a service try to enter?? Front desk was accommodating.

Blissfully quiet HVAC made it easier to sleep than other places. Great service. They provided dog beds, blankets, treats, bags and bowls. We could have our dogs sit with us at an outside restaurant table. The food was very good. The only downsides were not much green space near the hotel where we could walk our dogs for their bathroom breaks (there was a small lawn, but we felt self-conscious since there were people sitting on it in chairs) and noisy people in the next room in the next morning. It was a busy place on a Friday evening. Lots of chairs and benches so one can enjoy the view of the river.

Beautiful hotel with exceptional cleanliness and attention to detail even for the high quality of hotels in this area. No room service available but the restaurant in the hotel, Stella, is one of our favorites. The only thing i dont like is the additional charge for parking, though it is common in the area.

What a treat to stay in town and walk to everything. Really enjoyed the huge shower, extremely comfortable bed, view of the river, easy parking right outside the front door. So many sweet extras like chocolate treats left on the bed, a sound machine, an array of pillows. The only thing we were wishing for was a bidet!

The Ghost Light inn is beautiful. We loved the rooms. They were beautiful, clean, comfortable with a lot of amenities. The grounds are also beautiful right on the river. We had fun watching the fireworks right from the Inn's yard next to the bar. The staff were also fantastic. Everyone we encountered was super nice.

The safe did not work, the electric candles were dead, no breakfast was offered on Saturday and Sunday. I called to get a early check in, was told we could check in 12 - 2. When we got there our room was not ready. The guy at the front desk said he would text or call me when the room was ready and never heard from him. For almost $500/night I would not rate this hotel as 5 stars.

The location is perfect for being in the center of New Hope and being right on the water is amazing. The accommodations in the room were as anticipated for a high end room. Comfortable bed, lots of pillows, robes, desk, slippers, etc. The reason for the four stars is that the continental breakfast is only offered M-F, which for the price of lodging, seems like seven days a week should be included. Especially noting that the breakfast was yogurt, assorted cereals, pastries and breads, juice and coffees. It was an odd exclusion that would have made it a five star. Stella, the restaurant on site, is fabulous! Be sure to enjoy a bite while there!

It’s a Great Boutique Inn. We stayed on New Year’s Eve. Our room had a corner view of the river with sliding doors that opened up. It was nice sitting with the doors opened. We were however annoyed that on New Year’s Day they didn’t offer any continental breakfast even though they advertised it when we booked. Not even a coffee set up… The front desk said it’s a holiday so they didn’t have it set up. I get it but don’t advertise it. We asked the front desk for recommendations but they were not aware of any places open. They seemed a little inexperienced. We however were able to find a nice place across the street that was opened for brunch named Karla’s. Overall very nice hotel and would stay again.
