Overall this property is dated and needs a lot of TLC. Elevator was a mess, furniture was dated, the mattress was worn out and squeaky, hot water took forever to make it to the shower. Not worth the price point they ask.

The location is great with stores and dining within walking distance. The staff was friendly and responsive. The inn itself is showing a little wear but is being worked on, e.g., elevator not in use but is being upgraded. Overall, a great place to stay and we will continue to return here when we stay in the area.

Overall, the hotel is on beautiful grounds and it’s cleanly with a lovely staff. I had a room with an adjoining door that was closed, but the next room remover was still very clearly audible like I could hear the person snoring at night. It wasn’t a dealbreaker and I would stay here again, but I would find a room with no adjoining door

Stayed in the hotel several days a week over the last 6 weeks. Staff very nice and accommodating. Rooms are large. Beds are comfortable. However, the hotel showing clear signs of wear and tear and can use sprucing up and deep cleaning. Water pressure especially on the second floor is just bad. For unknown reason, the water pressure on the third floor is much better.

Wonderful lodgining options when visiting Swarthmore. A partilally working elevator made getting to and from the 3rd fl with luggage a hassle.

This is a great place to stay when visiting the college. Super easy to park your car and leave when you need. It’s a seven minute walk to the admissions office. The fitness room is small but has all of the right equipment and everything works. The walls are a little thin, you can definitely hear hallway chatter and doors closing. But most people staying here are not here to party so everyone’s very respectful. The bathrooms are a little tired looking but well maintained. The property doesn’t have washers and dryers but there’s a small laundromat down the street that’s easy to walk to and has everything you need. Stop by the unassuming co-op across the street for a quick bite or drink while waiting. I loved that the hotel offered local coffee…except when they ran out before I grabbed a cup on my last day.
