The Globe Inn — Hotel in East Greenville

I have lived in the upper Buck's and Montgomery County area for the past 40 + years and never knew this little gem of a hotel/inn existed on 4th Street in East Greenville. I was in the market to rent an efficiency apartment for about 30 days and found the Globe Inn. The globe, as it is known, was built in 1895 and much of the inn is as it was back then. Unfortunately, the camera lens on my phone has been damaged and the pictures don't do the interior of the inn any justice. Many of the rooms have a theme which they have been decorated in and some examples of those rooms are the Kenyan room, the Amish room and Hemingway's room. The inn has three floors and the extended stay efficiency apartments are located on the third floor. To reach the efficiency apartments requires 2 steep stairways to climb. I don't believe there is an elevator in the building or at least I didn't see one while I was visiting there. Every morning each guest is treated to a full breakfast including various juices, coffee with assorted flavorings that can be added, Bagels, raisin toast, omelettes cooked to order along with sausage, ham and bacon, and assorted cheeses for the omelette. There is also instant oatmeal and fresh cooked French toast. The staff at the inn were very friendly and outgoing and bend over backwards to make your stay a good one.

The Inn also offers a bridal package which includes the bridal Suite, room for a wedding reception, complete with a bar and other amenities. It's a great place to hold the reception and for the bridal party to hang out at while they're getting ready for the wedding ceremony.

On the downside of this review, the stairs that I mentioned earlier are narrow and are steep and someone with a ambulatory disability would have a hard time using them. In speaking with other guests, I heard several of them saying that their mattresses were not the best. As for my mattress, my mattress was firm it was comfortable and allowed me to sleep like a rock on it.

Overall I would give this place a 3.5-4 star rating. In the very near future, I will be purchasing a house in another state but when I return to visit my friends and family, I can guarantee that I will be coming back and reserving a room at the Globe Inn. Hope this...

I am very happy to write a review for this lovely Inn. If you have an opportunity to stay in the area, I’d recommend a stay at the Globe. It is delightfully old school with each room having a theme of somewhere on the Globe. My particular room was Kenya, decorated in a safari theme. It was very cute and roomy with a comfortable bed and even a little kitchenette. The shower had good water pressure.||Breakfast is included with your stay and I doubt you could ask for more. There is a made to order menu that includes omelettes or eggs as you like them. There is a bar with self-serve coffee and tea and a variety of other items such as fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, juices, bagels, and more. I hope you are lucky enough to have Mel as your server/chef/greeter/etc. She has a cheery personality that will make your morning lovely. A friend can join you for breakfast at only $10.||The inn is in a quiet residential neighborhood which is a little strange at first, but the history is that there used to be a railroad stop about 2 or 3 blocks from the inn. Everything about the area is charming. The community has First Friday celebrations and that is fun to go to.||As much as I loved this place and would highly recommend it, there’s always room for improvement. My room was on the third floor and there is no elevator or anyone to help with your bags. This was a bit tough for me since i have ankle tendonitis issues, so that wasn’t easy. I wish I would’ve known that because I might have upgraded my room. The other thing was that my room had no curtains. There was a type of shades, but for me that left no opportunity to sleep late because the light wakes me up. I think every hotel should at least give you the option for a dark room no matter what time of day. This is not an issue for everyone, I understand that, but it’s nice to have options. Black out curtains with tie backs can give the choice of your preference.||All of that said, I would recommend this lovely inn 100% and enjoy its old...

This place is utterly charming, and the staff actually cares about their guests. I was en route to my prepaid reservation when around 6:30 I got a call from the establishment asking when I would arrive. When I told her my ETA was 9:30, she said that since there would be no staff available after 8:00 p.m. I should go into the lodging entrance, which would be unlocked, and that I would find an envelope with my name on it containing my keys and room number. She was kind enough to send the information to me as a text message, as I was driving at the time and could not write it down. Everything was there just as she had said.

My room was a third floor walk up (which I knew in advance). I was in the "Kenya suite," and I was very impressed the moment I walked in the door. It was very well appointed, and had ample measure of what most lodgings these days sadly lack: character.

I had just arrived at my room when I got another call from the proprietor, to confirm my arrival and to ask whether there might be anything else that I needed.

Breakfast is included in the reservation, which (in my experience) usually means a variety of starches, lots of sugar and some fruit. I was delighted to enjoy a made-to-order breakfast in a dining room that offered classic elegance.

It is an old building of wooden floors and stairways, so you can expect some creaks, narrow hallways and so forth, but to me that simply makes the place more real. My only regret is that I was only staying for one night. I will gladly stay there again if I return...
