We were sorry we were not staying longer. The location of Spruce Hill Manor is convenient to University City and accessible to downtown Philly. Janet has created a lovely place of refuge. We had to get up very early and Janet was there to help us load... at 5:15 am!!! Everything is beautifully decorated and added to Janet's warmth this... More

Spruce Hill Manor is a charming Victorian mansion on the edge of downtown and not far from the train station. It is 2 blocks to the trolley stop and then only a few minutes to the center of the city. The rooms are large and each has a refrigerator and microwave as well as some dishes and utensils. The furnishings... More

We stayed at Spruce Hill Manor on New Years Eve and had a wonderful stay. Janet gave us 5 star hospitality. She made us feel like we were her children coming home for the holidays and gave us a warm welcome. She truly has an eye for details. This was evident from the beautiful decorations to the gorgeously wrapped welcome... More

We were there for the marathon and Janet woke up at 5h30 AM to prepare the breakfast for us before the race. After the race she let us use the shower even though we were late the check out time. She is exceptionally kind and I don't know any hotel with that kind of attention. The neighborhood is quiet and... More

I stayed at the Spruce Hill Manor for two nights in November. The place is very nice and comfortable and the room is large, with your own private bathroom. The breakfast is healthy and tasty; on Saturday morning, the owner Janet had prepared a delicious quiche lorraine. When I left the place I inadvertently forgot some clothes behind as the... More

A charming old Victorian mansion with a friendly, helpful and efficient inkeeper. The spacious room with a large hall and private bathroom. The breakfast was held in a peaceful environment. The neighborhood is super charming and quiet with beautiful houses . The weather was amazing! the tree-lined streets glowed in shades of red, yellow and brown. Wonderful! I recommend without... More

Spruce Hill Manor is a lovely old house with only the best of updates, offering every convenience while maintaining the charm of its age. Janet is a true innkeeper, always cheerfully available to help with whatever needs a guest might have, and graciously accommodating of our early arrival, inviting our son for breakfast, etc. She gave us the best advice...

Janet and the Spruce Hill Manor are terrific! The location is convenient but out of the hustle and bustle. The onstreet and driveway parking excellent for travelers with a car. The Manor is wonderfully appointed and comfortable. Janet is amazingly efficient! She took car of taxi calls, helped with tourist questions and was overall just a delight to chat with.... More

Spruce Hill Manor is an excellent choice if you want accommodations to reflect the history of old Philadelphia. It felt as though we had gone back in time! Janet, the innkeeper, is always doing her best to make your stay just as you would like. We have never met an innkeeper who tried as hard as she did to make... More

Janet is a wonderful host! She was very welcoming and we felt very at home. She even provided a pitcher and water, so you don't need to buy bottled water. The place was cozy and clean, and the neighborhood felt very safe, even at night. Spruce Hill is located just 2 minutes away from UPenn and Drexel, and about 10... More
