Attended an event in Philadelphia for the weekend and need an inexpensive place to lay my head. Found this location near the septa and convenient to my travels, and in a nice little town with restaurants and night life. Motel was old but recently renovated which made the stay good.. clean quiet and very accommodating.. will definitely stay again.

Small room. Did have a microwave (didn't try it) with a mini refrigerator and freezer (both worked). Single (small) shower could be updated. Mattress was comfortable. Room was clean. Had a folding chair to use plus a small space with hangers. Had a mirror in the bedroom as well as the bathroom. Good for a short stay.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The tables were sticky, the bathroom needed to be completely redone, peeling paint, the hook on the bathroom door was hanging off, the ‘blanket’ was more like a second sheet. The tv didn’t work, but after playing with some cords staff was able to fix it within 30 minutes. The best thing about the stay is that it was quiet, the air worked, and the staff were friendly

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room very small & poor layout. Microwave & frig behind bathroom door - awkward. Alcove with those 2 items dark, needs light. No clock. Plenty of drawer storage & electrical outlets tho no nightlights. We didn’t use tv other than for brief news. Parking very convenient, right at door entrance. Some traffic noise from local roads but no rowdy guests in our three nights stay. Live-in manager extremely courteous, pleasant, friendly with a charming family. Easy check-in and check out so we would recommend for someone wanting the basics & clean but not if one needed a lot of space to move around or if you wanted extras like breakfast or coffee or movies et cetera. Wawa close by.

We have stayed at The Trolley Stop Motel quite a few times. The check in is very smooth especially since we have stayed there a few times. The guy that's usually there is very nice. The rooms are clean and there is nothing ever to complain about. We have recommended this property to friends and family! It is located around quite a bit of dining options and right across the street from a Wawa.
