The Ridley House - Tater tots

The Ridley House

Went to The Ridley House today and was really disappointed with the service. Our server took a long…read moretime to come over initially, and after that we barely saw her. Our drinks were empty for most of the meal, and we had to ask another server just to find her. One of our drinks was made wrong, and when we finally got her attention, she seemed annoyed she needed to come to our table and actually walked away while we were still talking, which felt really dismissive. What makes it more frustrating is that there's an automatic 18% gratuity even for small tables. I ended up having to tipping $22 total, and for only seeing her a handful of times, it definitely didn't feel deserved. To top it off, when I mentioned to the head bartender (who was acting as the manager) that I wouldn't be coming back, he pulled $40 cash out of his own wallet and offered it to me to "give them another chance." It honestly made me feel so uncomfortable and was not an appropriate way to handle the situation. The food was fine, but the service and overall experience were not. For the prices and the built-in tip, I expected much better. I will not be returning.

I'm not liking the service here. There appears to be one person working the tables in the bar area…read more We were seated at 2:28pm. We placed a drink order approximately 6 minutes in. I ordered the soft serve margarita but they were out of cherry so I settled for one flavor only to hear the server offering cherry flavor to the next table when they arrived maybe 35 minutes after we arrived. We placed our food order at 2:40pm. I received my margarita at 3:09pm. We received our food at 3:16pm. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was really good. The thick steak like fries were fine. We asked for the bill and it took about 20 minutes and she has to be reminded when we saw her walk by to bring the check.

First, it's a pleasant day and we're grateful we all made it through and had a place to stay for…read morePenn Relays. The rooms at Candlewood Suites Chester, PA were average, but that was fine for us since we were out at the track meet all day. The upkeep could use more attention, though. Front desk staff was okay. The real problem was transportation. You can't advertise a shuttle service for a hotel and then give wrong information or deny service because you "can't find" the driver or say he isn't picking up. That's unacceptable when teams are on a tight meet schedule. Do better 1 ice cream Van ... advertise that you are running every 1 hr

This hotel is very sketchy. On the positive side the rooms are a good size and I like the dresser…read morespace and closet space. Stains on mattresses (like gross gross stains). Elevators - ridiculous. One was out of order for the entire stay and a fully booked hotel for a lacrosse tournament locally. The other elevator would only go down to floor 2. You then had to take the stairs to floor 1. Staff knew this and didn't put up a sign or tell guests. When a friend who was also staying said something to the clerk they laughed at him and said the elevator did work- it goes up and down but just not to floor 1. The entire vibe of the place was ick. The area of Chester is not good. If my son plays in this tournament next year, we will stay in Media. A few minutes outside of Chester.

Decided to stay in town after visiting friends. My stay was comfortable at a beautifully run and…read moremaintained hotel. Free parking is plentiful out back. Nice access to either the campus or the town. The lady at the front desk at checkin was very helpful. Sorry forgot her name. The Bar/restaurant was great. Good bartender, i think her name was Zoey? She made a good martini and she was fast and efficient. The TV's were tuned to the game and people were happy. Might be a nice place to watch World Cup events. A piano player added to the fun and relaxing vibe.

It pains me greatly to downgrade the Inn from its previously lofty perch as the near-perfect…read moreno-fuss hotel to merely adequate, and at the price, not such a great deal anymore. What confused me during our stay was we had two rooms, one an accessible room on the third floor, and the other a queen double on the second. I have stayed in both these areas before. The accessible room seemed unchanged. The second floor was very odd. First off, the fantastic soundproofing seems to have vanished -- at least, inside the hotel. The outside is still inaudible, as it was built to shield guests from the sounds of trains. But inside? I could hear our neighbors talk, I could hear their alarms, I could hear the elevator ding and the machinery (it was four doors down, so not that close). There were odd sounds from machinery in the walls and the HVAC systems I don't remember. Then we had a weekend with basically no hot water and no water pressure. Oh, the water trickled out, but it did so at a very tepid temperature and with less pressure than even any water-restricted California shower I've ever seen. I've never ever had such a problem here before. Then a local friend said they'd had renovations and added capacity. Did they -- gut the rooms and subdivide? That would account for the fact the room seemed smaller than I remembered; it would account for having lost the internal soundproofing but not the external, if they did a terrible job at the renovation; and perhaps they didn't bother to upgrade the floor hot water heater (our family member in the accessible room on the third floor did not seem to have this problem), or the plumbing capacity, and what we were getting was water at low pressure after everybody else on the floor had used it. (Although I had the same problem the middle of the day Saturday as I did Saturday and Sunday morning). I won't hold the pathetic EV charger situation against the Inn per se, since it apparently is a college problem: the chargers are limited to four hours! At a slow level 2 J-1772, this meant we got about 15% charge a day. This is ludicrous. I am willing to pay for the charge (the four hours a day is free) if I can, you know, actually charge the car. Limiting it to four hours on the basis of demand is pointless; all the spots were filled on Friday, and none of them charging, because it turns out they were all occupied by staff members of the college who went home at the end of the day and occupied the spot for eight hours, charging only four. The college's commitment to EVs seems -- I can't use a word that expresses this properly. Inconsistent with its avowed Zero by 2035 goals. (All the chargers on campus are the same, and there aren't that many of them, plus you can't use them if you're a visitor, anyway.) The location is perfect if you are visiting the college, but there's a lot going wrong here right now and I'm very, very disappointed. The staff are still extremely nice (especially housekeeping) so I can't downgrade it all the way, but this is worse than the Hampton Inn in Media now, for half again as much each night. There's only so much I'm willing to pay for location.
