"I would recommend this hotel for business or leisure"
The Desmond Hotel Great Valley is only one of the two full service Desmond hotels in the country; known for their Colonial ambiance and superior service. The hotel is hidden at the beginning of a corporate park across the street is a small shopping complex. The hotel features 3 restaurants, The Hunt Club for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Fox & Hounds Pub and during summer months, Sunset Grille on the outdoor desk area. Other amenities include indoor pool, fitness center, free parking, complimentary shuttle service (10 mi. radius), gift shop on-site and beautifully landscaped grounds with picnic area. They also have event space that can accommodate up to 500 guests. In all my encounters with the staff each was professional and friendly; I would recommend this hotel to any traveler whether on business or for leisure.

| Testimonials: Why use Hotel Planner? |
"This is an awesome concept. I would not have gotten started without this service. Because my mom is recovering from a illness, this service has helped take the stress out of searching for a hotel at this late stage of our planning." L.P. - Bloomington, MN
"I had already contacted Marriott prior to finding your site, but you got us a deal $24 cheaper per night than Marriott was willing to offer! Also, since the rooms are blocked for our wedding, the website with our own URL was perfect. This was the most convenient and easy to use service I have encountered since starting to plan the wedding. I had the whole room blocking process done in 48 hours, it saved a lot of time and money. Thanks!" C.T. - Richmond, BC
