Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Clean, large room with comfortable bed. Great location for visiting Swarthmore, or for visiting Philadelphia if you don't want to drive in (train stop is right next to hotel). Minus one star: Elevator broken, they seem in no hurry to fix it, and desk staff made no effort to help with carrying luggage up and down stairs. Minus another one: Check-in person says "breakfast starts at 8am" as if there's an included buffet provided, but actually it's a la carte and not included, and the breakfast menu is very limited. Plus carpeting is tired, and tavern closes early.

Liked: Cleanliness
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

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.

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.
