I give this place 5 stars for the physical comforts of the home, convenience to the city and the warm and welcoming owner Janet. I recently visited Philadelphia for the first time because I was taking my medical licensing board exam in the area. I came with two others, and we could not have chosen a better place to stay...

My husband and I had a grand time at Spruce Hill Manor thinks to the good work of Janet and Anthony. Janet went beyond expectation in making us comfortable and our trip so enjoyable. The Billie Holiday room was large, light filled, well appointed, and the bed was comfortable. We look forward to out next visit.

Stayed in Philly for a couple of days in order to find an apartment close to the veterinary school at Penn and could not have felt more at home in the city due to our innkeeper's exceptional hospitality! The house itself is gorgeously decorated, meticulously clean and situated within easy distance of nearby campuses and restaurants. Classical music greeted us... More

We have stayed at many B&Bs across the country. Spruce Hill was definitely one of the best. Our room - the Audobon Suite - was very large, nicely decorated, very clean, and extremely quiet. Breakfast was delicious - fresh fruit, quiche, cereals, bread, and excellent bubka. Most important was the warm welcome we got from Janet. We phoned and not... More
