Great stay! I stayed multiple dates over several weeks due to work training. Great to have a restaurant/bar in the building. Staff were very welcoming. Rooms very clean and updated. Only issue was dealing with the in room coffee makers. It was nice to have an expresso machine in the room but function of the machine varied.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The hotel looks like a prefab model with every word being heard in the hall. There were cracked tiles in the shower and the shower gel had a bar across the dispenser so hardly anything comes out of the pump bottle. I rate this hotel as 2 stars. Towels were gray, rough and dingy. The pillows (4) on each bed were extremely firm and almost unusable and definitely very uncomfortable. The clothes closet did NOT provide for any long hanging so I had to hang my dresses on the air conditioning panel. The value for what we received was very poor. I would have preferred another chain hotel this one. I could never recommend this hotel. It had so many deficiencies.

Room 210 was in good condition . There was constant pounding and noise coming from the roof where air vents and equipment rooms were located. The room was near the elevator and the utility and elevator rooms had noise and pounding constantly. Had a hard time trying to sleep. This lasted all day and especially at night. Advised front desk at check out and in the future would like a room away from these areas. People here are nice but we have spent close to a dozen nights in 2025 at the Inn, and this was the worse experience we have experienced at the hotel.

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.

Fabulous location. Elevator is presently getting an upgrade (that's a good thing) so we took the stairs. Not a problem in our case, but something to be aware of.
