The staff was great. Our room was basic but very clean and the window opened (thank heavens because the place is way over heated). Very convenient to visit my daughter at Temple and the Temple campus is lovely. Lots of fast food nearby and student-y places but no nicer restaurants for dinner. Convenient subway to center city, though. I liked Conwell Inn and will stay there again.

We found this an affordable and convenient location for our recent convention in Philadelphia. The price was fantastic, and the staff was helpful. It's a straight shot to the convention center. The parking is super cheap, but open air (not garaged), however there's a police station attached to the inn so we weren't too worried. Amenities are simple, but reflect the pricing. It was clean and quiet. However, note: * The beds are laughably soft. Like, sink into them when you sit in the edge and roll to the middle. My husband ended up in pain over this. * There is no bathroom vanity, only a vintage style pedestal sink in the room we had. No flat surfaces. Nowhere to rest makeup or toiletries at all. No shelves. This could be such an easy and cheap fix (install a couple small shelves.) * The parking is behind the building and it's not readily apparent how which building is the Inn since you're coming at it from a different direction and the building are close. We wandered in the freezing cold before finding the right way. On our way out another guest stopped me and asked how to find the Inn because he took was confused. A simple sign with an arrow and a sentence to guide guests would be so helpful. Knowing all this, we will definitely book again for next year's convention.

Really quaint inn right outside Center Philly. Although we were not visiting for the college, being right in campus was very convenient and felt safe. Super close to late night restaurants. Slightly outdated room if you care about that sort of thing, but very clean and spacious. Our room was not accessible as there were stairs inside the room, if you are in need of accommodation for that I would recommend calling and making sure this is not the case before you book. Definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Location
The best aspect of this hotel is the location on the Temple Campus. Also the parking is reasonable at $21 and change per day. It’s a charming small hotel but definitely needs major updates and replacement of the carpeting. The bathroom fan is really loud. The rooms do not have refrigerators and the ice machine and the one microwave you have access to are both in the basement.

It was a pleasure to stay there. The staff are terrific. It was a little hard to locate where the Inn is situated, yet once I found it all was well. The room was very clean. The bathroom was clean yet it was showing signs of wear. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

The most convenient place for an Owl family! Park behind the Inn (for $20), right next to the Campus police station. Walk into Saxby's coffee without walking outside! It's a small Inn but our room was spacious. Our only issue was that the heat was on high when we checked in, and the windows are sealed shut so even though we turned the heat off, it stayed really warm. Next time I'll ask for heat to be off on the day we check in. But we'll stay again!

The last time we stayed here, everything was wonderful. I know this is a nice place. However, the room we stayed in this time was so small, we couldn’t even fit a cot. We were walking all over each other. The worst part was that the AC wasn’t working. We had our Shih Tzus with us, which cost an extra $80 a night, and they couldn’t stop panting. We called at 3 am the first night because we couldn’t sleep & the problem was never resolved.

Cute but needs updating
The hotel was very cute, tucked away on Temple's campus. The staff was very friendly but not knowledgeable at all about the train situation and gave me incorrect info on getting to the airport. No big deal, I managed to get to my destination. The biggest issue was the carpet was old, filthy and very smelly throughout the hall and room. The walls were also paper thin so it was pretty noisy from inside and outside the building.
