We stayed here for two nights on a recent trip to Swarthmore and Philadelphia. In general we like…read morestaying at Hampton Inns, as they are predictable and usually cost-efficient. Check-in was smooth, but the Hilton Honors welcome bag was a little disappointing (just two bottles of water and a couple mints). We had a room at the end of the hall on the top floor, which was nice because there was a large wedding party staying at the hotel and we were far away from any potential noise. Our room was quite spacious, with a sitting area that could have easily accommodated a second king-sized bed. The lighting was a little dim - the entryway was bright, but the room otherwise only had a corner lamp on one end of the room, a table lamp on the desk, and two lamps on either side of the bed. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were not as fluffy as we would like. They were feather pillows that compressed quite a bit when you lay your head on them. They also were smaller than typical king bed pillows. The TV was mounted on the wall between the bed and the couch, so it was at a 90 degree angle from both. Though it did swivel about 45 degrees in both directions, there was no way to watch TV straight on unless you were sitting at the desk in the middle of the room. The bathroom was also spacious and brightly lit, with plenty of counter space. The towels were soft and fresh. The water pressure in the shower was excellent, but it took a long time for the water to warm up. The free breakfast was good, but not spectacular. I always enjoy the waffle machines, and thankfully there wasn't too long of a wait to use them on both mornings. The eggs / omelets were a little flat (I believe they are premade and frozen and shipped to the hotel to be reheated). The sausage links were good and moist. The muffins were a bit on the dry and hard side. There were limited fruit options (bananas and apples). The orange juice was a little watery. So, this is about what I'd expect from a Hampton Inn. This place has the added advantage of being very close to downtown Media, with a lot of dining options. I guess that makes it somewhat unique among the Hampton Inn chain, which tend to be on the outskirts of town or more commercial / industrial areas. We'd certainly consider staying here again.

Stayed here one night while we were visiting in a friend in nearby Broomall. Hotel was fine but…read morehad a couple things that detracted from it. They had just repaved the parking lot, that day, and half of it was closed off. We found a spot when we got there to check in during the late afternoon, but my Brother went out late night and came back and there were no spots. Thankfully, they let him park his car under the overhang by checkin and our car was still there in the morning ;-). We also had a room on the first floor and when we got inside, the AC didnt work. It wasn't too hot, but I need my AC in the hotel for white noise and I like to sleep cold. The front desk guy switched our rooms right away when I brought it to his attention, so that was good. Would I stay here again? Yeah, probably. The room and beds were comfy and it was located near where we had to be.

It pains me greatly to downgrade the Inn from its previously lofty perch as the near-perfect…read moreno-fuss hotel to merely adequate, and at the price, not such a great deal anymore. What confused me during our stay was we had two rooms, one an accessible room on the third floor, and the other a queen double on the second. I have stayed in both these areas before. The accessible room seemed unchanged. The second floor was very odd. First off, the fantastic soundproofing seems to have vanished -- at least, inside the hotel. The outside is still inaudible, as it was built to shield guests from the sounds of trains. But inside? I could hear our neighbors talk, I could hear their alarms, I could hear the elevator ding and the machinery (it was four doors down, so not that close). There were odd sounds from machinery in the walls and the HVAC systems I don't remember. Then we had a weekend with basically no hot water and no water pressure. Oh, the water trickled out, but it did so at a very tepid temperature and with less pressure than even any water-restricted California shower I've ever seen. I've never ever had such a problem here before. Then a local friend said they'd had renovations and added capacity. Did they -- gut the rooms and subdivide? That would account for the fact the room seemed smaller than I remembered; it would account for having lost the internal soundproofing but not the external, if they did a terrible job at the renovation; and perhaps they didn't bother to upgrade the floor hot water heater (our family member in the accessible room on the third floor did not seem to have this problem), or the plumbing capacity, and what we were getting was water at low pressure after everybody else on the floor had used it. (Although I had the same problem the middle of the day Saturday as I did Saturday and Sunday morning). I won't hold the pathetic EV charger situation against the Inn per se, since it apparently is a college problem: the chargers are limited to four hours! At a slow level 2 J-1772, this meant we got about 15% charge a day. This is ludicrous. I am willing to pay for the charge (the four hours a day is free) if I can, you know, actually charge the car. Limiting it to four hours on the basis of demand is pointless; all the spots were filled on Friday, and none of them charging, because it turns out they were all occupied by staff members of the college who went home at the end of the day and occupied the spot for eight hours, charging only four. The college's commitment to EVs seems -- I can't use a word that expresses this properly. Inconsistent with its avowed Zero by 2035 goals. (All the chargers on campus are the same, and there aren't that many of them, plus you can't use them if you're a visitor, anyway.) The location is perfect if you are visiting the college, but there's a lot going wrong here right now and I'm very, very disappointed. The staff are still extremely nice (especially housekeeping) so I can't downgrade it all the way, but this is worse than the Hampton Inn in Media now, for half again as much each night. There's only so much I'm willing to pay for location.

The Inn at Swarthmore has been my "go-to" hotel for staycations and need respite's from the city…read more I've also previously recommended this hotel to others who seek a more quiet experience than what's offered via the hotels in Philly. However, the most recent renovations made at the hotel have negatively impacted my opinion of the establishment. ROOMS Let me first start by saying The Inn at Swarthmore had some of the largest rooms I encountered in a hotel establishment. In layout, they closely resembled a dorm which made sense because of the relative closeness to Swarthmore college. The hotel recently made renovations that decreased the size of the standard rooms by at least 50%. In addition, I encountered an issue with the bathroom no longer having working exhaust fans which can create an issue in the future for a buildup of bacteria, mold and mildew. SERVICE The service I received at The Inn at Swarthmore has always consistently been a top above average and I've never encountered an issue. Besides the issue with the room, I always marvel at the wood used throughout the establishment. Despite the beauty of the establishment , the changes made to the rooms have changed my perspective of the establishment and I can no longer recommend it as the greatest value proposition.

I had a staycation in Glen Mills and stayed for one night at this location. First off the gentleman working the front desk was beyond helpful and accommodating when I had an issue with my payment - gift card. He went above and beyond to take care of me and I really appreciated his help. The hotel was gorgeous - I loved the modern but still funky/ fun style and colors. I liked that there was a separate seating area from the bed and also desks and I appreciated the full size fridge and keurig in the room - although it wasn't used it was appreciated. I know these are generally for long stays and I will definitely have to keep them in mind when I'm staying longer because it would be perfect for that. The kitchenette is perfect for a short term stay and they even have hot plates available and tons of cooking supplies and serve ware and even a dishwasher! For my one night stay it felt very luxurious. They had a pool which looked nice and several fire pits and lounging outside (however they were not on and in the morning I found out they were out of service - there was also a dead bird next to it - eek) The breakfast left something to be desired of but I guess because you have almost a full kitchen the breakfast isn't that important but it was still a nice option! Overall a great stay ! I also loved the bed- so comfy and I appreciated the smart tv features and as a Hilton member powering the tv through my phone ! What a great stay! Definitely happy I chose this over the Hampton in the area.

The facilities were clean and located near plenty of things, and our guests were even able to chill in the lobby and have drinks and snacks post-wedding. We had an amazing, perfect wedding weekend, and Denise and her H2S family were a big part of the reason why. We will forever drive past and smile.

The engaging decor includes a wide variety of kitschy objects from many places worldwide. During our several-day stay, I didn't get tired of looking around and finding new curiosities. Outside, the B&B is tucked onto a forested and winding hillside, surrounding you with green leaves and views of the sky. It's easy to forget that you're less than 30 minutes away from downtown Philadelphia. And there's plenty of parking in the B&B's lot. Our room was a good size, but it was better for sleeping in and going out. It might have been a bit small if we planned on spending significant time just hanging out in the room as there wasn't much space around the very comfortable bed and the one chair, which was a plush and comfortable reading chair. The room also had an armoire, TV, and a short hall off of which the bathroom was located. (The rooms do vary in size, so again, that's just my view of the room we were in.) The breakfasts here are excellent and include what may be the best scones I've ever had. (I'm delayed in writing my review by several months, but the memory of those scones is still vivid. YUM!!!) Breakfast is served mainly in a kitsch-filled dining room, that's bright from high ceilings and sliding doors at one end of the room. The dining room table - a heavy wood table, suiting the atmosphere - 'only' seats 8 though, so if the table's full you may have to wait or choose to eat in one of the nearby rooms on a tray; when the weather's nice, there's more seating outside.

On May 8, 2026, my husband and I had lodgings for an overnight stay after attending a family wedding. Our accommodation was clean, noise level was quiet, and hotel was clean and modern. The restaurant housed the after-wedding party which consisted of french fries, chicken tenders, various egg rolls, and dessert; all of which was very good. I would recommend staying here based on the above, but the outstanding customer service support raised it to another level. Here's my story. We live in New Jersey, roughly 2 1/2 hours away. At approximately 2:30 in the afternoon my husband received a call from the hotel telling him I had left my pocketbook in the safe. Anyone who has done this before knows the sinking feeling of leaving behind a wallet filled with credit cards, driver's license, medical insurance cards, and cash. Since it was a Saturday, hotel management agreed to send it overnight via FedEx on Monday; I was asked to call to confirm delivery. On Monday I spoke with Jean (at the front desk) and explained the reason for my call. I informed her that I hadn't verified the contents of my pocketbook and asked if she could do this before shipment. Once Jean located the package whereabouts, she had to ensure the front desk had coverage. She retrieved the package which had been prepared for mailing, unsealed it and confirmed its contents. Jean then informed me it would be driven to the FedEx office for shipment. Thank you Jean for staying positive and patient with me. Later that day, I missed a call from the manager, Johnny. His voice mail said that our credit card was declined (human error) and asked that I provide another. His message also gave detailed shipment options and costs. Johnny returned to the hotel. I called back shortly after with another credit card. The package was driven back again, and the credit card transaction was approved. In speaking with Johnny, I asked who found my pocketbook as I wanted to thank the individual. He informed me that it is hotel protocol to have a manager check the vacated rooms to see if guests have left any personal belongings behind. The manager's name is Doreen; however, we never had the pleasure of a conversation. Thank you Johnny for your persistence in getting my pocketbook to me. Thank you Doreen for your honesty and ensuring my pocketbook was turned in to hotel management. To conclude, I applaud the honesty, willingness to assist, and patience of Doreen, Jean, and Johnny. I hope the home office, which I will contact, will take note of their commitment to providing the Radnor Hotel's guests with outstanding service and to a very happy ending to what could have been a sad story. Sincerely, Marie J.

You have endless excellent food choices: the Tripe Crown on premise or Fleming's Prime Steakhouse next door are my favorites. I walked over to Smashburger one night which is pretty much across the street. I love that complimentary tea and coffee, ready and 6am, in their snack area with vending machines and pretty much any misc. item you may need. The hotel located quite close to many colleges including Villanova University where my son is a student. The location is ideal: right off Route 476 at Lancaster Avenue. That proximity matters when you are driving around that area which has a bizarre amount of traffic. I enjoy getting to and from wherever I am going quickly & with ease. I can even walk to Villanova, a quick 20 min (1 mile) - which matters during graduation, family weekend etc. when parking is challenging. Since my son started Nova in the Fall of '23, I have only stayed at this hotel and I will continue to do so until he graduates a year from now.
