Chubb Hotel & Conference Center

Gwynedd Valley

Had lunch and previewed the facility for future business meeting. The food was very good and the staff very accommodating and were willing to help as part of your team for hospitality. Minutes from Center City Philadlephia with free parking and WiFi and the outdoor views are a beautiful setting sitting atop Lafayette Hill

Business Conference

While it's an older venue in some ways its great shape and well maintained. I've been several times to the conference center which has been adequate but not over the top. This time I stayed in hotel since I was presenting at the conference the following day. The layout is bizarre like a labyrinth - it's a dizzying stretch of corridors and there's alot of walking. If you're going to be in the conference center ask for rooms on that side. You either walk outside OR up and around and then down, etc. Conference rooms we got were long and narrow - odd to see the podium so far away. Noise can spill from adjoining rooms, such as a revival meeting next door with musical instruments. You walk to lunch in restaurant/banquet area and back again. The room was on par with a standard good quality Marriott or Hilton set up - very updated bath room, the odd shower head sprayed down from ceiling (??). towels first rate, sheets smelled of institutional laundry and were rather coarse. the mattress was HORRIBLY firm, more like hard and I've slept on futons most of my life. Add to that horridly firm PILLOWs made my sleep a living hell. Took the heater a while to warm up the room and then kept running so had to shut it back later. I was assured my location would be quiet at check in. There was a door slamming or knocking every 3-5 minutes somewhere around 6 am, and when I walked around couldnt find the source. Also water ran in some location off and on from some connecting room which could be heard through the bathroom. Otherwise I heard no tv or talking through walls except some loud banter the following late morning. Was granted late check out but then housekeeping knocked and said they hadn't been told. There's no night light source in the bath - bring one, or you're flooded with fluorescent glow at 2 am. See attached wifi speed check which was uninspiring. Overall while I'd attend conference meetings here I'll not stay again but find something else nearby for better comfort. Banquet was a decent mix of a variety of food but favorites run out soon so walk with a quick step!

beauty and the beast

Just came back from a conference here - the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and plentiful. Although it would be good to have a bit more variety on the various days. Bar is expensive and small - few selections (especially for wine)...Rooms are large and comfortable - housekeeping variable (some days very good, others days not so good). Nice TV and places to work. Although the work space could be a bit more comfortable. A bit out in the middle of no where... so you may feel trapped if you do not have a car. 
Conference rooms very comfortable - and a very nice touch was the shawls in case the rooms got cold!
Would recommend!
Conference

Very comfortable venue for a conference

This hotel does not advertise like the chain hotels so I did not know about it until I drove past one day.  It is off the main road and located on a golf course.  It was very quiet so it does not seem like a place for kids.  We had a suite and it was such a relaxing overnight getaway.  The staff, from the front desk to the food servers, were great.  They even had complimentary drinks in the room for us.  There was a balcony where you could look out and see nothing but greenery.  There were several places on the grounds that you could sit and taken in the peace and quiet.  There is plenty plenty shopping close by.  I will definitely return and recommend this to friends and family.

Very relaxing and great service!!

We stayed one night for an event.  The setting is lovely, and right near the Morris Arboretum, which was wonderful.   However, you do need a car to see anything.  The hotel is clean, common spaces especially nice.  The setting in the golf course is pretty, but again, can't really walk around there.

Clean, nice common spaces, pretty location

Came to philly to hang with some friends and didn't want to make the drive back home after such a long night. Found this hotel after 2 this morning. I was calling around and everyone was booked for the night or was having issues with their reservation system. 
The name threw me off, however, upon arrival I was very impressed. Finding my room felt like a complete maze but this exceeded my expectations. Wish I could have stayed longer

Last minute stay

Disappointed by the lack of facilities for such an expansive venue. Fitness room has about 5 treadmills, far too small, and no path for walking or jogging just the admonition that you can’t walk on the golf course paths. Service was good. Food was ok. Just seems about 20 years behind the times. Despite idyllic setting, I wouldn’t recommend. Feels very old school and a bit depressing. 

Dated

We stayed at the hotel for a wedding and were favorable impressed by the general layout and amenities of rooms, by the modern design and by the event spaces.  The food was excellent at the wedding we attended including breakfast.  Our room was down the hall from the main lobby and was very quiet.  We found the hotel staff to be pleasant and responsive though we didn’t really have many requests. We didn’t use the exercise equipment so can’t comment on that. 

Additional considerations:
1. Location: very peaceful with great views but also quite a distance from the airport, train station and center city of Philly (about 30 min to independence square by car) but it’s closer to Manayunk and only about 10 min to the PA turnpike and I-76, once you know where you’re going.
2. Area food options: Other than the bar area, there isn’t anything in walking distance. When we arrived at around 9 pm on a Friday, we had to drive 3 to 5 miles to find any places open where we could eat (pizza and subs).
3. Parking: there’s no shortage of spaces but it’s a total of about 2 flights of stairs from the lot to the hotel so drop your bags and any frail family members at the front door before you park.  I’m not sure what you’d do if all members of your party have trouble with steps as there is a ramp for about half the steps but not the second half (at least without walking further around the building).
4. Event spaces were very nice but the main ballroom is quite a distance from the rooms and lobby. However staff were gracious about driving individuals around if they had trouble walking. 
5. TV reception was fine but no pay movies (at least that we could find)
6. Beds: everyone had different tastes when it comes to mattresses but my spouse and I both found this mattress to be painfully uncomfortable.  Don’t think we’d return for this reason alone.

Reasonable especially for large events 

I live in New York City and was attending a conference in the vicinity.  I was delighted when I discovered my room looked out on a serene green landscape. I looked forward to some blissful peace and quiet away from the city.  Unfortunately, my room was right off the lobby and the waves of drunk people shouting and drinking in the hall outside my door all night kept me from sleeping for more than a few hours.  I got to hear some hilarious drunken conversations about who is hooking up with who, and “do you actually trust him?” and “she is definitely into him” and “he’s not that into you, dont spend the night with him.”  But I was trying to get some sleep because our conference has an early morning start.  And nobody over the age of 30 wants to feel like they are staying at a frat house.  When I called the front desk their response was pretty underwhelmed.  They acknowledged that this is an ongoing issue with that room, and offered to close a door between the lobby and guest rooms, even as they implied that this would do very little.  There was a deep unwillingness to ask other guests to move their drinking and partying into more appropriate areas of the hotel.  I was woken up continuously throughout the night as wave after wave of revellers shouted/stumbled/gossiped outside my door.  Use of the white noise machine in the room was just no match for the party going on outsise my door.  I arrived at the conference exhausted and sleepy.  It had a significantly negative impact on the conference for me, and  I will be contacting the organizers of the conference to urge them to consider using a different hotel next time.  They seemed to have a long history of using the center, so Im surprised that I was given that room?  And their customer service was so consistently lackluster.  They clearly dont pay or treat their staff right.  There was this general tone of helplessness and hopelessness on the part of the staff.  I have never actually experienced hotel staff that seem so utterly disempowered.  We had some other issues - milk that had gone sour, a lost item... And they just would shrug and vaguely imply that someone else might address the issue.  Maybe they arent getting any sleep either.

Do NOT take a room near the lobby.  If you need to sleep - consider alternatives.  Service poor.

Beautiful view over the golf course. Beautiful spacious garden. The rooms are rented out on three levels. Ideal for meetings and conferences. Organizing weddings. The gym is small and with few options. The dining room with excellent location. The breakfast buffet costs 14 USD.
