Clean, safe and well kept hotel. It is right on campus attached to campus police. Walls are def thin and you can hear everything in hotel. Windows open but there are no screens on any of them which I thought was strange but loved that they opened. Continently located to all campus stores and sport centers.

The Conwell Inn is a little gem located on the Temple University campus. It is neat, clean staffed with friendly, professional help some of whom are Temple university students. It is safe and clean and on-site parking is a bonus. The Conwell Inn is my go to whenever visiting my college daughter.

Convenient location when visiting the Temple University campus. Very clean room. Great shower. Parking offered for an additional free which is worth taking advantage of. Noisy in the morning when trash collection came around 6am.

Excellent stay here while visiting my temple student! It was a Friday night… I slept great. I felt safe walking from daughters dorm to the hotel at night. Campus security everywhere! Nice little cafe in the front of the inn for morning tea/coffee. Will definitely be back!

When we arrived, Tory was friendly, helpful and professional. She answered our questions patiently about the area. - We reserved parking ahead of time as reported elsewhere in other reviews. It was $25, but there isn't really much/ any on street parking nearby because the Inn is on a pedestrian street. Our room was clean, and the hotel, albeit older, still had made an effort to have an electronic charging cube on the bedside. There were plenty of towels, a coffee maker, and sample size toiletries. It was perfect for the price!

Lovely little inn on Temple University’s campus. Room was gorgeous and large. I had a great view of a walkable plaza. Staff was wonderful. I felt safe as a solo woman there.

Cute hotel but…
Hotel is adorable and really set up nicely. Check in was easy and she was extremely friendly. The room however was disappointing. The bed was uncomfortable and ac didn’t work. The air blew hot air even on cool. The bed is very small for two adults and uncomfortable. I honestly ended up sleeping on the floor.

I wish parking instructions were listed on the website. You have to call and reserve a space, I only knew this by reading the reviews.

this wasn't the easiest to find...i ended up parking on N Broad St overnight (allowed on weekends) and walked to the inn via Polett walk. it's about a 20 min walk to The Met - pretty straightforward. room was clean, great pillows, could've used an extra blanket (to be fair i didn't check with front desk), staff was super nice and for the price, this is nice little place. i'd stay at conwell inn again now that it'll be a breeze to find...

My room was spacious. It was very affordable, esp compared to Center City/other areas of Philly. 7/11 is right around the corner. You must reserve parking in advance, so call the hotel before you arrive to ensure you get a spot! Parking fee is reasonable.

Nice people, clean room, convenient location
All around experience was wonderful! My daughter and I were seeing a concert at the Liacouras center, and we’re just staying the one night. The gentleman who checked us in was so helpful, and very patient with me and my questions and requests. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable enough. I would definitely stay again.

Stay Elsewhere…
So… here’s the thing. I booked for one night for $217 because the hotel was close to the concert I was going to. Upon arrival my partner and I were told we couldn’t use the parking because you have to book parking in advance(was not mentioned in the hotels.com booking). Needless to say after 3 and a half hours of driving and being told we couldn’t pay for parking I was pretty angry. I asked if you could just pay and the guy at the counter outright denied my request to pay and said we needed to either find street parking or park on 14 or 15 street and said to me and my partner “… this is why I don’t drive.” I was not impressed with the general bad attitude when we walking in to the hotel and even after that the room was mediocre. I expect at least a microwave or something in the room but it’s located in the basement… Basically after the arguing and parking nonsense was resolved we were offered no compensation except for what Hotels.com offered($30 coupon off our next stay at the next hotel). We were in the room for no more than a total of 2 hours and decided to leave (after the event) early due to the guest service and worst experience we’ve had in Philadelphia. I know nothing will be done about this business because it’s located in the college campus and they don’t care about one bad experience but do be warned about the parking and consider yourself warned about the staff. The one redeeming factor is the travel sized toiletries smelled nice.
