Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were just right for the three of us, though not as pictured and could have been cleaner. The service was great, but there were some issues with amenities availability. The location, while close to the airport, felt sketchy and not ideal for walking around. Dining was pleasant, with room for improvement in menu variety. Facilities were standard overall.
I stayed in a hotel that was clean and just right for the three of us, located near the main street, and even had a 7/11 store close by. The service was very professional and exceptionally polite. The location was convenient for our daily trips but had run-down houses around. The dining experience was fresh and diverse but could use more variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit dirty with mold and bugs, but the service was attentive and very polite. The location, though a bit sketchy, was convenient being close to Swarthmore college. The dining options were subpar, with stale breakfast items. The facilities were lacking in cleanliness and maintenance.
