Hotel room and bathroom were very nice. Close to train and college. One restaurant on site, but limited choices otherwise. A few local coffee shops, breakfast or lunch spots and one wine bar. Not ver accommodating for request for 1-hour late check-out even though hotel and parking lot were empty.

An inn nestled on a college campus.

I do not like to stay at chain hotels, so finding the Inn a Swarthmore was exactly what I was looking for. Lobby was welcoming . The restaurant was lovely with a fireplace. Food and drink were very good. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

We were unable to sleep due to uncontrollable loud guests! The staff attempted to intervene a few times but unfortunately it did not stop and there was no other solution offered. We were unable to fall asleep Until 4 am. This was my first stay. I loved everything else about the Inn! I was disappointed that I was not offered any sort of compensation!
