Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort

The resort was beautiful but we had a slight inconvenience while checking out. We had booked our room through ******* but the resort did not get the reservation. Due to this reason,during check in we were given a different room for one day and the staff asked us if we could move to a different room for the next two days. We agreed but we were not informed about an additional cost for the room shift. So when we were checking out this was news to us and it would have been better if the staff had informed us beforehand about the extra charge.

We ended up not in the main building. It was in poor condition, had no closet but had a new bathroom. The shower was to small and I’m not a big person. I would not go back. I got sick after eating diner the first night. Don’t know if it was a virus or food poisoning. I must say the staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. They were truly the best part of our stay.

It was built in 1911 and the property is really cool, but they have done a poor job at updating and keeping up with regular maintenance. The Delaware lodge is gross. Room renos were done in 2022, but the building was in bad shape with roof leaks and water damage on ceilings and walls. We moved to the Main Inn. There the hallways smelled, the drop ceilings were dingy and had water damage, the carpets were tattered, and they painted over wallpaper that is peeling. Once in the room, it had a renovated bath, flooring, paint, and new headboards. A coffee maker, big TV, and small fridge were provided. The beds were new and comfortable. On first impression the room looked nice, but after sitting in it for a while we noted the poor quality workmamship in the painting. There was paint on the picture frames, curtains, windows and moldings. Our air conditioning went out after midnight on our last night, making for a miserable sleep. Walls throughout the Inn were beat up and chipping everywhere and there was paint all over the restaurant floor where it was obvious no drop clothes were used. We tried to enjoy a fire outside and staff refused to give more wood just before 10:00. The Italian food was amazing, front desk staff was accommodating, and hotel staff great. Golf got rained out and rain checks were given. There is potential for this resort to be amazing and I know it was in its heyday, but they need to hire a new painter and pay better attention to small details.

Great for history buffs and river lovers This is an wonderful, old hotel--it is right on the Delaware River and is a piece of history. The bed had only one nightstand and was hard to get in and out of on one side. It would be so easy to put two small nightstands in the room, and I am guessing it isn't the only room with this issue. That means no reading lamp, either. That said--the hotel is a tad worn, particularly in the hallways, but the restaurants are modern and nice--the food, good--and the site, amazing.

It was our first visit and it was fabulous! The staff is friendly and the food was amazing. Loved seeing all of the pictures and decor. Highly recommend going to the Shawnee Inn.

Lovely setting. Obviously an impressive destination in its day. Currently however there are a fair amount of updates and repairs needed. That said it was adequate. Dining options nothing to rave about.
