This hotel has such a lovely atmosphere. Rooms are large, clean and comfortable. I had everything I needed for a short stay. I loved that this hotel is walkable to many things on Penn's campus. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I will be staying here many more times as I travel to Philadelphia for grad school over the next few years.
The Inn at Penn is always my first choice when I’m in Philly. It’s easy, convenient and safe. The team there always make us feel welcome and take care of us.
The room was quiet, comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Restaurant staff were courteous and appropriately attentive and helpful.
The hotel is nice but very dated. It was expensive for the age. They could have such a nice lobby bar but the lack of a double weather door significantly impacts the ability to enjoy it. I think the house keeping is below regular standards. We had to ask for soap. Toilet paper and coffee was never refreshed properly. The staff were great. The hotel was chosen for me but it wouldn’t be my first choice in the area again.
I was disappointed in my stay. After finally locating the entrance , we were met with a very rude staff member who appeared annoyed that we needed help finding the front desk.. 2 elevators and 4 turns away. The shower curtain was ripped and the black out curtains were useless.
The housekeeper we met on Friday was so friendly and helpful.
We probably wont stay there on our next visit.
Very nice stay here. Some of the furniture in the room can need some replacing as it’s starting to look old but everything is pretty clean and comfortable
We had a wonderful stay in the hotel. The room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. It’s in a fabulous area between UPenn and Drexel. We walked from the hotel to the museums and then back via the city center. We would definitely stay here again!!
I enjoyed my quick 1 night stay at The Inn at Penn. My room was clean and quiet. The area around the hotel was nice but I didn't venture out too far because it was hot out.
