Top Swarthmore College Hotel Reviews

Quality Hotel Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, breakfast was good with scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles and fruit. Staff were good people, friendly and concerned about doing the best they can for travelers."

The Inn at Swarthmore

8/10 Good

"Close to the train station"

Holiday Inn & Suites Philadelphia W - Drexel Hill by IHG

8/10 Good

"The ice machine on my floor (5) was out of order, so I went to the 4th floor, which was fine. Another guest told me that there was no ice machine at all on the 6th floor. (Seems odd.) The only other thing that keeps me from giving this hotel a 5-star rating is that there was no bottled water in the room, nor was it available when I asked at the front desk. The woman working there (I didn't get her name) said that Holiday Inn doesn't provide water. What I did like was the working refrigerator in my room, as well as a microwave. I've never seen a microwave in a hotel room before. As for staffing, I was checked in by a lovely woman named Dawn. She was very helpful and had a great personality."

Clarion Hotel Philadelphia International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"There was a particular staff worker named Louisa who exemplified congenial, polite, and consummate service. She was there in the evenings behind the front desk."

Trolley Stop Motel

10/10 Excellent
