Room 210 was in good condition . There was constant pounding and noise coming from the roof where air vents and equipment rooms were located. The room was near the elevator and the utility and elevator rooms had noise and pounding constantly. Had a hard time trying to sleep. This lasted all day and especially at night. Advised front desk at check out and in the future would like a room away from these areas. People here are nice but we have spent close to a dozen nights in 2025 at the Inn, and this was the worse experience we have experienced at the hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn at Swarthmore. The room was lovely and spacious with a delightful view of the shops and train station from our window. The staff was most friendly and helpful. We enjoyed Christmas music played in the lobby. I will always stay at the Inn when visiting the area.
