Great comfortable stay at a beautifully run and maintained hotel. Great nights sleep. Bar/restaurant was great. Good bartender, i think her name was Zoey? She made a good martini and she was fast and efficient. The lady at the front desk at checkin was very helpful. Sorry forgot her name. And there is free parking!!!

Front desk Staff didn’t even smile and no greeting nor enthusiasm. Just felt like doing their duty. Quoted crazy price hike, 3x the price when we asked for a nights stay. The highlight is the location of the Inn.

An uplifting, inviting, & beautiful experience awaited us from check-in to check-out a few days later. In every way, our travel experience was superior to previous trips to visit our son, who lives in Media. Hyatt & Hilton are "OK," but not personal and certainly not exquisite. The Inn at Swarthmore is not only attentive & comfortable, it is also beautifully designed, filled with original art from former students, and surrounded by the gorgeous campus which features a variety of native & exotic plant species. It includes the Scott Arboretum, complete with walking paths and stunning gardens open to the public. The food at every meal was excellent - fresh, made to order, and reasonably priced. We loved having breakfast on the shaded patio, overlooking garden plots filled with lettuces and herbs for meals at The Broad Table Tavern. Service was friendly & professional. Across the street, the local community is small, perfect for strolling. And it's easy to get where you are going by car or nearby train. NO question about it - we have found our home when visiting Media. We are already looking forward to the beauty, comfort, food, and service the Inn and surroundings offer.

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.

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.
