Great stay — super centrally located for all things Swarthmore. Call to make sure the elevators are back up and running if that’s important for you.

My family and I always have a great experience during our stays at the Inn at Swarthmore and will definitely return in the future, when it is available and recommend it to our friends. Thank you.

6/10 Good

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 Inn is beautiful, the staff is friendly and professional.

8/10 Very good

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.
Wayne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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

6/10 Good

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.

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!
