Top Swarthmore College Hotel Reviews

Clarion Hotel Philadelphia International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The ladies at the front desk are so lovely! Really made me feel at home."

Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Philadelphia Airport Ridley

10/10 Excellent

"This reservation was a pleasant surprise. The no frills hotel was clean and fairly well kept. The morning meal was good including a warm selection of eggs, sausage, potatoes and cereal as well as pancakes or waffles. The desk staff was helpful and friendly. I did arrive late (and had called ahead to say I would be arriving late). At 10:30 p.m. when I arrived, my room was not made up yet so I had to wait for them to change bedding and clean the bathroom for me. The location to the airport was great and beat out several other hotels for me as the price was reasonable. I will stay here again when I return to Philadelphia."
