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.

We love this hotel with the exception that the elevator has been out of service for 2 years! Major advances in technology have been made in less time. The front desk has gotten to the point of being totally non-apologetic about it. I'm sure it hasn't been a whole lot of fun for them but try being a guest carrying multiple suitcases up 3 flights of stairs! don't know why they don't hire students from Swarthmore College as baggage porters.

Great Property - Suite Door Lock Warning

This is a fantastic property with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are beautifully appointed and really comfortable - you can tell they put thought into the guest experience. I was all set to give this place 5 stars, but had one unexpected hiccup that kept it at 4. I'd booked a suite, and after getting back to the hotel around 12:45 AM from a late night flight, I was getting ready for bed around 1 AM. When I went into the living room to get my luggage and closed the door behind me, it locked - the lock button had already been pushed in. Half my belongings were stuck in there, including toiletries like my earplugs that I really needed for sleeping. Unfortunately the front desk didn't have a key to get me back in. What really surprised me was learning this had happened to another guest just two nights before! That said, I have to give credit where it's due - the staff was genuinely concerned and did everything they could to help me out. They were so kind about the whole situation. I'm hoping they've been able to address this issue since my stay so future guests don't run into the same problem. Bottom line: it's a wonderful place to stay. Just a heads up for anyone booking a suite - double-check that the lock button isn't pressed before you close any doors!

Bit of a strange hotel. I didn’t get the room I had booked and the hotel wasn’t very helpful at sorting this out refunding the difference. Rooms have noisy old AC systems and feel a bit like an 80’s Hilton room. Staff are pleasant

Service in the restaurant was extremely slow. The food was good but it took a long time to receive it and what we ordered was not what we received. My wife’s omelet was made wrong and by the time she received her correct one I was completely done eating. Then it took several minutes after we were finished to get our bill. It was not crowded at the time. Only a few other customers were there.

Pros: staff friendliness and hospitality, atmosphere, proximity to town and campus. Cons: walls are thin and building is dog friendly, so when other guests’ dogs whine and bark all day/night, staff can’t really do anything to help. Shower’s “modern” design (no curtain or door) = weak water pressure and water goes everywhere. Coffee is pulled every AM so you have to buy it from the restaurant. Overall I would stay again, but would look elsewhere first. Lastly, ask for a room away from the elevators, the dinging and guest noise can be distracting at all times.

The hotel was exactly what we needed. The elevator was broken but that wasn’t a big problem for us. It might have been for some guests who were also on the third floor.
