The inn at Penn is always convenient option. Here is the but, they need to up keep the bathrooms better. Broken loose floor tiles, worn out dirty caulking around the shower. All easy fixes. A hotel of this caliber guests should not experience such things.

Cleanliness is the Key

During my recent stay at The Inn at Penn, I had a very disappointing experience. After being stuck in the airport for five hours, I was too exhausted to inspect the pillows closely and slept on the softest of the four provided. The next morning, I discovered two large, disturbing stains on the pillowcase — dry, but possibly blood. I felt awful realizing I had slept on a pillow in that condition. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, especially at a hotel of this standard, and I cannot believe housekeeping overlooked something so obvious when preparing the room.

We were dropping off our son at Penn over the weekend, and the hotel had a fun buzz with all of the families there to do the same thing. The rooms are comfortable and quiet, but if you want to have a nightcap, there are plenty of nice spots within the hotel to unwind. I look forward to staying again!

Stop forcing us to check out early!!!! Check in time is after 4pm, check out time is before 11am. That’s plenty time to get the rooms ready. But… At 8:30am on my checkout day, a staff (who doesn’t speak English) knocked on my door. I thought she knocked on the wrong door since she can’t tell me why she knocked. 30 mins later, she unlocked our door and tried to enter. I then understood that she wanted us to check out and then clean the room. I told her we are not ready to check out yet. At 10:30am, she knocked again and wanted to get in. This is not acceptable. My husband said his check out experience was bad so he didn’t file a complaint.
