We had another great stay at Residence Inn Bala Cynwyd! The location was great for everything we were in town for. We love that it’s right on the river and you can walk across the bridge to restaurants. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. We appreciate that the fan runs in the room so you never hear others. We will always chose this hotel when we are in town!

Game room and restaurant!

This is a newer hotel - very unique and clean. Also close to the city. There is a Game room with foosball and Xbox - ask at front desk for controllers. Breakfast is great and hot water in the shower. If want a suite, the bedroom can't have King bed (only 2 queens). The ice machine on 6th floor has a water bottle filler! Overall great stay for family.

Our stay here was beautiful! Beautiful scenery with the rustic mixed with modern build and design. My room was also wonderful, spacious, with many amenities and everything worked just fine. The breakfast could have a bit more variety but it was free and the pool makes up for it. Restaurants, walkable paths, free parking, complimentary wine for the birthday visit(although they forgot it at first after I called) but nonetheless we received it and all was well

This stay was Awesome. We came in for a Family Funeral but left smiling. The staff (especially Dominque) was attentive, knowledgeable, empathetic and a breath of fresh air. The breakfast was tasty. I will say the containers used to keep the coffee and hot water needs to be replaced, (was not that hot). The bed was a little too soft for my taste. The room was amazing, the amenities were useful. I loved the visual atmosphere and to not actually hear the trains while I was resting. The courtyard was Beautiful. Will definitely stay again, We promise. The convenience of Free Parking and Free Continental Breakfast makes it worth the price. From the Cucumber ice water offered at the front Lobby or the celebratory glass of champagne, we felt WELCOMED and VALUED! Great Job!
