Really quaint hotel. The rooms are a bit dated but charming! Front staff was super nice and helpful. Parking lot is narrow and a bit hard to find at first. Very convenient to anyone with children attending Temple University. We enjoyed our stay there.

Excellent hotel. The room was perfect. Loved the availability of tea and coffee both in our room and in the lobby. Would return here and would recommend to others. If you have a Temple music student having a concert it is perfectly located for that.

Obviously, one stays here because one has activity or business plans on the Temple campus. Super convenient, in that case. As for the hotel itself, it's an average, dated hotel. Fixtures are old and average. Nothing really stands out as extraordinary, because it's well, an average campus hotel. My stays here (twice over 4 years) were fine. Only one complaint, the bed in 510 - it's a mushy marshmallow and I was in much pain for 3 days after my stay there.

Two thumbs down

At check in no one was at the desk, waited about 30 mins or so for someone to come to check us in and give us a room key. There were a bunch of extra fees that weren't listed on the hotels webpage, $20 parking fee, $80 pet fee. The sink in the bathroom was small, it was a pedestal sink instead of a vanity so there was no place to put soap or your toothbrush. This sink had hair from previous guests in it, the tub had stains in the bottom around the drain. No one EVER answers the phone at the front desk because no one is ever at the front desk! I called before we got there to request a late check in, no answer, called while we were there, no answer. The tub dips in the middle so it was treacherous trying to shower with water and soap everywhere cuz I kept slipping in that dip. The bed has no structure, it was more like sleeping on 10 comforters stacked up rather than a bed, if you laid in the middle of it the sides folded up like a taco! Yet again at checkout no one was at the front desk and when she finally did appear she had a nasty attitude rolling her eyes and turning her back walking away while I was trying to talk to her. It was very conveniently located to where I came into town for but I'd never stay there again!

Convenient Spot for STAR Access

Great location to be able to walk back and forth to a sports tournament at the Temple STAR building. About a five minute walk from the hotel. Parking was a little tricky to find but adequate. No fridge in the hotel room.

We loved our stay at the Conwell. We came to Philadelphia to see a show at The Met, and it was an easy walk to the venue. The staff was helpful and friendly. The only issue was when we woke up, there was no hot water, and we had to leave without a shower. We were not given a reason for the lack of hot water, just that the manager was notified.

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.
