Top Swarthmore College Hotel Reviews

Travelodge by Wyndham Essington / Philadelphia Airport

2/10 Terrible

"When I checked in I was assigned to a room which was not cleaned so I have to request another room. The other room has so many problems. First the door lock is loose; someone can just push it from outside to open the door. Second the TV is damaged. Third there is no chair. Fourth there is no coffee machine. Fifth there is no hairdryer. Therefore, I request a $35 partial refund for the stay. Also I was asked for a $20 safety deposit and I was told it will be returned, but the $20 was never be returned to me. "

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Philadelphia Airport

6/10 Okay

"Check-in employee had ZERO personality and seemed bothered by the process. The foyer was basically a glass cage with a little slit to pass ID and paperwork through. The key card did not work when 1st tried. Went back and had to decide it. The room was dark and nothing glamourous at all. Bathroom was impressively small to the point when you have to basically step into the walk-in shower to actually close the door. The shower has no shelving to put shampoo/soap while showering. (It had dispensers affixed to the wall) Overall, a place to get some sleep between work obligations. Would definitely"

Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Philadelphia Airport Ridley

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff, decent breakfast with several kinds of protein, juice, sides, etc. The beds were comfortable and clean. We only stayed one night due to our itinerary. It's a good "close to the airport for one night" hotel. The shuttle from the airport took a while, though. Waiting at midnight wasn't that fun."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Ridley Park Philadelphia Airport South

6/10 Okay

"I went to the first room I was assigned and turned on the lights, set my bags down, and entered the restroom to use the toilet. Upon lifting the seat, I discovered that the toilet had clearly not been cleaned because someone's bowel movement was sitting in the toilet. I gathered my things and went to the front desk to ask for a new room that was cleaned. The front desk clerk was very sweet, apologetic, and accommodating. She quickly reassigned me to a new room and said I would be given some points for the disappointment of the situation. My next room was more clean than the first, however there was a lot of long dark hair remaining in the shower that did not belong to me. While the front desk was great, I believe that the level of attention to detail amongst the cleaning stafc could use some attention. The hotel is conveniently located to the airport and other places I was frequenting "

New Season Royals

10/10 Excellent

"As other reviewers have said, it's a sketchy area but we felt safe once we were inside. It was very quiet and we didn't hear hardly any outside traffic and never heard anyone in other units. It also says no smoking, but the building strongly smelled like weed every time we walked in, so that took some getting used to. Our unit was clean and the bed/pillows/sheets were SO comfortable! We slept so well that we're considering buying a new mattress now. :) The bathroom is really small but it served its purpose. The only recommendations we'd make are to have paper towels for the kitchenette."
