Lambertville Station Restaurant and Inn
"What's the first thing you noticed about this place?Location, location, location. Lambertville Station Restaurant & Inn is spread across two buildings: the historic train station which has been transformed into one of the region’s favorite restaurants, and the boutique hotel, set right on the edge of the Delaware River. It’s also at the edge of Bridge Street, which is lined with antique shops, funky shops, and cafés. Who else is staying here?City-dwelling couples out for a weekend in the country. The hotel’s Riverview Ballroom is a popular wedding venue, so weekends are often filled with wedding guests. Now, onto the good stuff: Tell us about the rooms.Despite Lambertville’s funky spirit, these rooms and suites have a very traditional look. Rooms feature complimentary Wi-Fi but otherwise aren't especially tech-focused. How about the little things, like the minibar, or the shower goodies? What made your stay better, or more comfortable?The wow factor isn’t about what’s inside the (elegant) rooms: This is the only hotel in Lambertville with river views. Take them in. How about the room service, or other dining options? What's on offer?The hotel's Lambertville Station Restaurant is one of the town’s landmarks—it occupies a historic railroad station, and the interiors have a familiar historic charm. The most coveted tables are outdoors, overlooking the canal, onetime railroad tracks, and the goings-on of bustling Bridge Street. The menu offers a nice selection of sandwiches, salads, and entrées. The building is also home to two bars with distinctive vibes. One is a classic old-school bar, with dark wood paneling, while the wine cellar holds over 50 wines from independent vineyards. Complimentary continental breakfast is included with the room rate. Any other services or features you'd like to shout out?The Towpath, a popular biking and jogging path that runs parallel to the Delaware & Raritan Canal, is just behind the hotel. Visitors can even walk to Pennsylvania—the bridge over the Delaware is just outside the hotel and is a short stroll from New Hope with its many shops and restaurants, and the award-winning Bucks County Playhouse. The patio is dog friendly, too, a nota bene for those who brought their four-legged friends along for the day's adventures. Bottom line: Is this hotel worth a stay, and why?Definitely. It packs a lot of punch for a small hotel." - Nancy DePalma
