Hello! I have a friend coming in to visit and I'm looking for some nice, not too expensive hotels/inns or B&B's around/in West Mount Airy (not in the city). Something like the Chestnut Hill Hotel (http://www.chestnuthillhotel.com), but maybe a little less per night. I want something with a little charm, not a normal chain hotel kind of thing.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this is too far out, but I went up there to get the postcard I used for my article in the Chestnut Hill Local about the Depot restaurant.

The Joseph Ambler Inn is run by Richie Allman, the previous owner of the Depot. It is maybe 20 minutes away, up 309 and when I went up there, I thought to myself, "If I have anyone coming to town who wants a place to stay, this place looks really neat" I even thought of bringing my wife up for a getaway weekend.

I am sure you can find something closer, but this is no that far and has a very New Hope feel to it.

Good luck!

My in-laws have stayed at Anam Cara B&B in Chestnut Hill several times and have been very happy with it. I think it is a little less expensive than the Chesnut Hill Hotel.

Excellent - thanks for the suggestions, looks like good stuff to choose from!
