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.

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.

It is difficult to say something nice about this Hilton when you just stayed in much nicer Hilton at the beach, awesome breakfast and great room with balcony... Parking here is free and you can access your vehicle quicker than when you wait for valet parking (the beach hotel had valet parking in parking garage across the street). The mini fridge is somewhat cold, your frozen goods will defrost, but they have ice available, so you can keep stuff cold in your cooler. The room is also equipped with tiny microwave and iron with ironing board... The dining room style lamp hanging on one side of the bed, will give you headache after you bump it with your head every time you climb in bed or reach to the "nightstand", some USBports are broken, not enough of charging options. TV guide is the old-fashioned loop ... Air-condition makes strange noises,but after listening to it for 24 hours, you will get used to it and won't be surprised anymore. The water pressure of the faucet is inadequate, shower works OK, water is scolding hot. I would prefer to stay somewhere else next time. Environmental service employees are very nice and helpful, I thought that it is important to mention this! Otherwise I agree with other reviews that mention things guests didn't enjoy or why this is not awesome place to stay.

My family of 4 stayed at the Inn at Villanova University on the way home from a road trip…read more We were greeted by a very enthusiastic and welcoming concierge who filled us in on everything we needed about the hotel before checking us in. We were told that there was a gym and a game room on the second floor as well as some outdoor activities, but we didn't get a chance to check them out because we were only there for one night. Our room was on the first floor, so it was easy to transport our luggage from our car to our room. Our bedroom had 2 queen beds, a large desk/counter space, and a bathroom with a tub/shower. We all enjoyed the Villanova-themed decorations in the room. There were several charging ports throughout the room, which was helpful because all 4 of us needed to charge our phones overnight. The bathroom was clean and tidy, and stocked with all the essentials. We ran out of toothpaste, but luckily the concierge provided us with some travel-sized toothpaste free of charge. The water pressure in the shower was nice, but the shampoo and conditioner made everyone's hair feel greasy. We had no problems with our beds, but there were a couple issues with the rest of the bedroom. For some reason, there was a wet patch of carpet near the desk that was there before we even moved in. Also, there are no overhead light fixtures, so we could only get light from the backlit headboards on the bed or the bedside lamps (I did like that you could dim the lights on the lamp, though). Finally, the TV kept losing signal and we could only reach 3 channels. Overall, the Inn at Villanova provided a good 1-night experience for my family, but I think I would choose to stay somewhere else if I was planning on being in that area longer.

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.
