I have always stayed away from B & Bs, I'm not crazy about the familiarity with owners and other guests. But, I must say, I loved this place. I travel to Philly a couple of times a year to visit relatives who live within walking distance of the Manor. There are only a few (expensive) hotels in this part of... More

We stayed here to celebrate our anniversary and had a lovely time. Janet is very kind and accomodating! The house is lovely, with a very nice garden. Room was large, comfortable and inviting with a very bed and breakfast, homey feel. Janet had a very nice breakfast laid out with the best cornbread I have ever had and gave a... More

I was attending a 5 day conference at U of Penn and wanted to stay somewhere within walking distance. Staying at Spruce Hill Manor was a great experience - very clean, comfortable, roomy, and quiet. Breakfast was lovely each morning with options such as quiche, fresh fruit, and sweet breads, but several hot and cold cereals were available, too. Snacks... More

During a big conference in Philadelphia we have been staying with 4 colleagues with Janet in this great B & B. The neighbourhood is very quite, you can walk or take a subway downtown. Breakfast is very nice, often Janet will bake something: a quiche, cornbread or "koffiebroodjes". There is yoghurt, nuts, cornflakes of all kinds. And then: the rooms,... More

We were greeted w/ a warm welcome, and were told to help ourselves to hot tea and homemade apple cake. It was like gong home. Our room was the "small" one and it was quite large and spacious w/ an equally large bathroom. The rooms were very clean and charmingly decorated. We were given a map of the city, the... More

I stayed at the Spruce Hill Manor for 2 weeks during April. I do not even know where to begin of the many things I liked...so I'll start with the basics. The house is immaculate, clean & decorated classic with ever furnishing you could possibly need. On to service, Janet & Adrienne were delightful from making the rsvp to our... More

Spruce Hill Manor is a lovely inn tucked into a community of warm, older Philadelphia homes. The rooms are charming and the dining room always stocked with home made items and healthy treats. Janet, the inn keeper, is amazing. Without being obtrusive, she is always looking for ways to make your stay extraordinarily comfortable. I'd recommend this inn to anyone... More

This tree-lined street full of nineteenth century industrialists' mansions gives a vivid sense of the history of this remarkable city. It was raining cats and dogs when I arrived with a heavy bag at Spruce Hill Manor but the owner gave me such an incredibly warm and concerned welcome that the weather was soon forgotten. The room was absolutely lovely,... More

We were visiting our son at college right around the corner and this lovely bed and breakfast was recommended to us. Janet greeted us like a family member and we were so pleased we decided to stay here instead of a hotel in the city! The room was well appointed, spacious, clean and just charming and we already booked another... More
