    Pros +

    • Good-sized rooms. Accessible rooms are particularly large.
    • Location. design. Bar
    • The location and atmosphere

    Cons -

    • Staff could be more openly friendly. They were not rude, just not overtly helpful and open to offering solutions.
    • During check-in, we were told that breakfast was included but was later told that it wasnt included.
    • Your policy on EV charging is clearly uninformed and plain wrong, and does nothing to assist your guests. It's also clear nobody in mngmt at Inn @ S, drives one or has been subject to their Inn's policies. We arrived at 11:30P. The front desk woman was great and persevered, but it was her 1st ever experience with the chargers (and no other staff after that had ever been properly trained either). As is clearly the exception, my wife and I drove almost 300 miles to come, and were in desperate need of a full overnight, 8-hour charge. "Only 4 (in any 24 hours)" which is your terribly uninformed policy, is completely inadequate and required me to spend additional hours finding in-town chargers, but not a quick one until Baltimore Pike, which required about 4 full hours from my very busy day, having to locate the charger (which "is a thing" for us EV drivers), then commuting to and from it after finding a willing friend to drive my wife and I. And bc we arrived so late, when I went to charge the next day, since I already had had a 4-hour change, I couldn't re-plug in, till after midnight the next day, and so it went. It was horribly dysfunctional and affected our return trip too, as we had to stop on NJ Turnpike to get on a fast changer, and wasted at least 3 more hours throughout that process.

    Rooms were fine/nice, though you need a tutorial on where switches are on all lamps. You really need a couple notes near them pointing out w 2-3 words. Had to call front desk at 1A which was annoying for us all.

    I bought breakfast in the restaurant and it was very good. The Inn is right by the commuter train and walking distance to my cousin's house.

    I paid more than my usual limit.

    Nice building and facilities, room is pretty comfortable. Food in restaurante was delicious and fresh.

    Elevator was not working and nobody to help to take luggage upstairs. In other words, they knew the elevator was out of service, they would have had someone to help move luggage upstairs.Staff is ok but they could do better saying hello to guests. Price was ok, but a little pricey for the location.

    Great staff, clean rooms, and a gorgeous suite.

    That I couldn’t stay long

    8EmilianoPosted on: 3-16-2025

    It was very close to a beautiful area in Swarthmore.

    Too expensive. But it was the only hotel in the area so I guess that makes sense

    10PaulaPosted on: 1-10-2025

    Nice hotel. Room was clean. A little basic for the price per night. We were there for a large swim meet. Wish they would have put more staff on in the restaurant knowing they would be busy with the meet. Drinks at the bar were very good.

    7AnnePosted on: 12-27-2024

    Breakfast. Restaurant had a nice fireplace great for Christmas

    The elevator has been out of service for some time and there was no mention of it or discount for the inconvenience

    Restaurant is a gem. Staff, food and chef 10/10

    location was good, right inside the college

    there was no elevator working for more than 24 hours....

    Location

    Coffee was finished by 9AM...ona SAturday. Elevator was broken so my 80 year old mother had to take the stairs up and down to the 3rd floor. Arrived with local teens skatboarding and literally laying by the front door. In an intimidating manner. For 400 a night this did not seem worth it at all. But the location is key so they will get it!

    2JenniferPosted on: 10-6-2024

    Location is the only thing.

    Rooms felt like a dorm. Especially at 400 a night. We arrived to several kids skateboarding and biking and literally laying at the entrance. Coffee ended around 9???? Elevator was broken all weekend. Not great for my 80 year old mother. They have you on location. Some understand they don’t need to deliver in service !!!

    Location and breakfast were excellent.

    Elevator was broken

    Comfortable room, well-kept hotel with a very relaxing feel. We enjoyed all of the art.

    10Rev. R.Posted on: 7-13-2024

    Restaurant in building very convenient. Room was one of the nicest in the building. Wedding festivities in building easy to be a part of, by staying on the property where all was happening. Easy check in/out.

    Elevator broke down, I am disabled and cant do steps. Was housed on 3rd floor. Folks needed to help get me down to the main floor. Took several hours to repair. There should be a service elevator on the property for such a breakdown.

    9DennisPosted on: 7-13-2024

    Clean. Modern. Beautuful property. Great location.

    Booked into someone else's room.Room on 2nd floor and elevator did not work.

    8IsabellePosted on: 6-13-2024

    Great location bordering the gorgeous campus. Comfortable, beautifully designed and quiet bedroom, with a heater that worked up to my standards (I like to be warm, summer or winter. I can't stand air conditioning, and this bedroom switched from refrigerated to warm in 20 minutes. Loved it!). Easy and free parking. The "upscale" restaurant at the Inn could be better but it is convenient. We had a respectable dinner there right upon our arrival.

    It was a great location to the athletic center/gym. My son plays on the Swarthmore basketball team. The basketball team had a game. The basketball team banquet was at the Swarthmore Inn, so that was great location for my family and me. We also ate all our meals at the Inn. It was a great experience.
