I stayed here only for one night. The hotel was good value for the price. Subway to go downtown was only 5 minutes away. I also chose the hotel because I was taking a train to New York in the morning and you can take a train directly from Temple to the 30th Street Station in downtown Philadelphia. Room was... More

Located on the campus of Drexel University, this is a nice and comfortable place. However, if you're interested in doing anything downtown, or, for example, U. of Pennsylvania, it is quite far and taxi rides are pretty expensive. Except for occasional students, or groups of students, the streets around the inn are deserted. I saw only a bookstore and a... More

The hotel is conveniently located right in the middle of Temple University Campus, just a few meters away from a subway station and minutes away from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. There are nearby supermarkets, coffee shops (there is one that can be accessed from inside the hotel) and restaurants. The staff was generally kind and helpful. The room was relatively... More

My husband and I stayed at the Conwell Inn for 3 nights in Philly to go to the flower show and tour a little of the city. People familiar with the city implied that the area isn't very good so we didn't know what to expect. The location of the inn, on the campus of Temple U, was very pleasant... More

I stayed their twice, with my prospective college applicant son. The first time we stayed two nights and our room was not cleaned, because we were in it till 10 AM and we got skipped. Don't buy passes to the gym as there is very limited availability. The second time we stayed, we were informed they no longer offered $5... More

While there are several things that were definitely within our reach to take care of for you, I apologize for your dismay at the coffee shop and the... More

The Conwell Inn is located on the main campus of Temple University and very convenient if you have business on campus or need to be in that area of town. The Inn is a short walk to the train line (which services the airport) and a subway station. It is adjacent to a coffee shop with pasteries. There is also... More

We loved our stay at the Conwell Inn! We took a chance on this little out-of-the-way hotel based on reviews we'd read on a travel site. It was a great location: two blocks from the SEPTA, safe for walking about at all hours, and just a minute's walk from some groovy carry-out restaurants. Tons of food trucks were in the... More

Despite the fact that weekend staff was not top notch in service, it was a good place to stay. Literally on the campus of Temple University, you might think it's closed to outsiders, but it's not. It's even pet friendly. Bathroom was huge with a Jacuzzi tub plus breakfast. Parking was a bit of a headache being about 2 blocks... More

When visiting Temple University, this is a great convenience. Literally on campus, with a few eateries (college type, not fancy) yards away. The price is good, and the staff tries to make your stay pleasant. They have large rooms and comforable beds, the bathrooms leave a bit to be desired but still acceptable. Not a luxury hotel at all, but... More
