    The George Washington - Main Lobby

    Such a historic site deserves much better care and trained people interacting with the public. I…read moreshould have known something was wrong when I was informed that I needed to give three days notice if canceling and would forfeit an overpriced night's stay ($257/night for one person) if I canceled within that window. The lobby was grand and historic, but the building was nearly silent when I entered. Not a soul in sight. Now I understand why. I was given a third floor room that was the furthest from the elevator, in a poorly lit, dingey, slightly scary hallway that had years of re-painting over old paint. The room was sparse, only one chair, not a table to work from, or lights by the bed or even a telephone. The cable television kept losing signal because the internet was unstable. I had to check my email seated from the bed. The bathroom didn't have soap, to wash hands, and the sink was the tiniest sink imaginable. There wasn't any counter space in the bathroom to put toiletries on and the bath gel in the shower was empty. The only soap to wash hands with or to use in the shower was a small jar of complimentary bath gel. The bath towels were two hand towels. The flooring in the room had recently been refinished, but was so shoddily done that it was uneven as it met the door to the bathroom. The staff were uninformed and incredibly rude. I had to ask for ice, because there wasn't a refrigerator, and when I asked to borrow a proper glass wine glass, the attendant suggested that I might steal it. When I asked her about local places to eat (there isn't a restaurant in the hotel), she said she didn't know about the local restaurants because she wasn't from there. The morning crew were even worse. Such a disappointment for a hotel with a historic past and a presence deserving of much better care.

    Our experience at the George Washington Hotel and Event Center felt like two completely different…read morebusinesses. The event side was flawless. The historic building is beautiful and full of character. The event spaces were perfect for our daughter's wedding, and the food received wonderful compliments from guests. Hayley, the event coordinator, was fantastic. She was responsive, organized, and helpful throughout the planning process and the entire wedding day. The catering and event staff were attentive, professional, and efficient. They earned every bit of a five star rating. The hotel experience was a one star experience, primarily because of the general manager, Robert. From the beginning, communication was difficult. His responses often felt defensive or dismissive rather than collaborative. During our tour, Robert showed us beautifully decorated rooms and presented them as typical. When guests arrived, many of the rooms did not match what we were shown. Some were sparsely furnished, lacked basic seating, or had maintenance problems. Some had cleanliness issues, including dead flies and dried food. One room had a broken door frame and a door hanging loose on its hinges. Multiple room assignments changed without notice, and despite being told the hotel would be reserved for our group, at least one room was rented to someone outside the event, which we discovered in advance and were able to correct. Some rooms were eventually comped, but this was reactive rather than proactive, and it added stress to what should have been a joyful weekend. Five stars for the event staff and venue. One star for the hotel and the general manager's handling of accommodations.

    More Tea with The Madre!…read more My mom and I always make it a point to go to tea whenever we're in the same state. This time, we visited Uniquely Yours Tea House in Hickory, PA. Upon arrival, the charming house and well-manicured landscaping set a welcoming tone. A sign at the end of the walkway requests that guests wait there or in their cars until their reservation time, which makes sense since the waiting area inside is a bit small. We were warmly greeted by the proprietor and led inside, where we were introduced to a unique tea selection process. Instead of a menu, guests choose their tea from a cabinet of jars. You open each jar to smell its contents and make your selection. While the jars were labeled, many labels were slightly smudged, and some jars weren't very fragrant, making the process a bit cumbersome. Personally, I would have preferred a traditional menu, but the owner seemed somewhat put off by this preference. Interestingly, both my mom and I chose the same tea, and our hostess chided us for lacking an adventurous spirit. That interaction was a little more than a bit off-putting, but we moved on to our table. The table settings were elegant, with matching teapots placed on stands heated by candles. However, while my mom's candle was lit, mine was not, and the hostess didn't light it upon serving. It seemed like an oversight that could have been easily avoided. We both enjoyed the black currant tea, which was delightful and definitely worth recommending. However, I noticed that the table was set with paper napkins that were thin and unimpressive. I definitely prefer cloth napkins, especially for tea. Given the overall ambiance, this detail seemed out of place--almost like using plastic forks at a fine dining experience. Moving on to the food, everything was beautifully presented and delicious. The grilled sandwich with provolone, spinach, and a herby spread was a standout, though wiping my hands on the thin napkin just highlighted the fact that it was not cloth. The Hawaiian chicken salad in a croissant was also excellent. However, the cucumber sandwich, served on raisin or craisin bread, overpowered the cucumbers and cream cheese with its strong flavor. But the portions were generous, so come hungry! The scone, a glazed lemon poppy seed, was moist and paired perfectly with Devonshire cream. The sweets were a highlight: a delicate cream horn with edible gold glaze, a summer berry cupcake, and a filled cookie with white chocolate and berry--each was as delicious as it was beautiful. Overall, while the tea and food were enjoyable, and the setting was lovely, the tea selection process and the use of paper napkins detracted from the experience for me. If you're a fan of tea, it's worth a visit, but be prepared for these quirks and go with an empty stomach!
