The Lily Inn - Burlington

First impression of this place was good; it's a nice, unique old inn, although it's not close to Philadelphia, requiring a minimum 45-minute drive, often longer due to traffic. During our two-day stay, the structure showed its age, with shabby conditions, sticky floors in the room, and no hot water in the shower. The garden was messy and dirty. The staff's professionalism was severely lacking. On the first day, breakfast was a letdown. The staff member in charge seemed unaware of additional guests, improvising a meager meal of scrambled eggs, two yogurts, and four strawberries. Despite apologizing and agreeing to our request for a 9 am breakfast the next day, she woke us up at 7:40 am to confirm and prepare it. The next morning's breakfast was equally disappointing ans really poor as you can see from the photo with a ready-to-cook pancake mix with a dirty hot plate to cook it that we prefered not to use. On top off it, the staff member took photos of the food on the table , including one with me in the background without permission, maybe to prove she did her job in preparing breakfast to the manager, so I had to ask her to delete it. Given the complete lack of professionalism and the inn's condition, I wouldn't recommend staying here. Instead, consider exploring other options that offer better service and are closer to Philadelphia.

The property is beautiful, quaint in a pre- civil war style, charming, and clean. You are given a code to enter but no one greets you, it was empty and dark inside when we arrived- like an AirBnB that way. The blankets were extremely thin especially given it was below freezing weather outside- no down or down alternatives on the beds, just very thin blankets. I had to text the manager to find more blankets and even then there was only one in the closet- even though we were two guests using the two separate beds which we had booked. The breakfast was bare bones, unappetizing, and was served late- we had to go looking for the person supposed to be preparing it.

Good bed, no breakfast This place is a bed and breakfast. The bed was fine, the breakfast was nonexistent. I got a text from the property that said breakfast was served from 8:00-9:30. Pretty late start for breakfast, but ok. Got there right before 8:00 and the sole employee had just got there. After standing around for 15 minutes, the only hot food that had been prepared was some scrambled eggs. To make matters worse there was almost no grab and go options either. I just left and ate elsewhere. I didn't even try the second morning. The property is nice overall but the breakfast is severely lacking.

The old town

Nice, comfortable bed and breakfast. Easy to get in and out
