A little far from Phila proper (we were going to PMA adn the Franklin Inst), but easily accessible to the train; this place was a pleasant surprise. We traveled wiht a baby and four year old, and the room was spacious, the people who work there were extremely helpful, and kind. Warm cookies, and off street parking, this place was... More

Can't beat the location of this hotel for a visit to Temple, and the staff was extremely helpful through our whole stay. We passed on the breakfast after the first day - but after reading reviews, we didn't expect a lot (and there is a coffee shop attached so getting something a bit better was easy enough). Room was clean... More

We enjoyed this hotel on Temple Campus. Even with GPS it was a bit hard to find since it is nestled in the campus. The room was clean and staff extremely helpful. They moved an illegally parked car so that we could have a space. Breakfast was ok but the attached coffee shop had tasty goodies and good coffee. We... More

This cozy hotel - the Conwell Inn - is situated right in the middle of Temple campus in Philadelphia. Temple has its own police patrolling the area, so I felt very safe. The check-in process was a breeze, even after midnight. The bedsheets were clean, everything worked, and I can't complain about the sleeping experience. The mattresses are foam. It's... More

The best thing about the Conwell Inn is the location on campus at Temple University and the charming exterior. It is a 10 minute walk from the SEPTA Train stop on campus, and about a 5 min walk from the subway to Center City. Unfortunately, after that the property is really very "Motel 6"-esque but with some very nice touches.... More

This hotel is in an excellent location on the grounds of Temple University. You feel very safe as lots of Temple security around. The hotel is clean and offers a simple breakfast in the morning. They will give you a coupon for $5 to use at the coffee shop adjacent to the hotel if you prefer more coffee choices. It... More

My husband & I stayed there for two nights. If you wanted oatmeal for breakfast, you had to go down in the cellar to use the microwave. Also, the first night our sheets got spoiled with coffee & crumbs from eating in bed. Left the "note" on the bed (that is what you are supposed to do if you want... More

My deepest regrets that you were not happy with the service you received while staying with us this weekend. If you needed or wanted your sheets changed - that should not have been an issue! Our housekeeping staff works endlessly to keep our hotel running and our rooms fresh, and missing your needs is completely unacceptable! I do hope that... More

Definitely convenient for Temple University, but not a very nice hotel. Many small problems, such as no light bulb in one bedside lamp. We informed the front desk, but they only put in a bulb, and did not plug in the lamp !! so we had to dig it out from under the bed. Bathroom has no hooks, fan and... More

I stayed at the Conwell Inn, strictly keeping a budget in mind. The hotel is clean, has a friendly staff but is not the city center. It is situated about 3 miles from the city center and a cab ride takes $10-$12. Since it is situated in the Temple University, it is always crowded with students and thus there are... More

Enjoyed our stay --- room was extremely nice (with exception of water backup in the tub when you showered). Love the turn-down service w/chocolates! Equally nice was the easy continental breakfast and the totally awesome baked cookies in the afternoon! More
