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.

We had a room directly across from the ice machine so it was pretty loud all night. The hotel is very convenient to campus.

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.

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.
