The hotel is in an excellent location if visiting Temple. It's located on campus! The room and common areas were clean and tidy. The staff was very professional and kind. Parking is convenient but you have to pay, either for a nearby garage or the hotel. The cost to park on the hotel lot was $20. Downside: the hotel needs updating, especially the bathrooms.

a $216.00 parking charge incurred during my recent stay at the Conwell Inn. Prior to arrival, I was explicitly instructed to park in the Montgomery Lot. I followed those directions exactly, only to later learn this was incorrect information, resulting in an excessive and unexpected fee.

Clean room with a friendly staff. Finding the hotel is difficult because it is on Temple University's campus. The entrance is very obscure. I had to call the front desk to find the entrance. GPS is absolutely no help. However, once you are in, the place is very nice. The only issue was that the tub in room 310 is starting to rust. A relatively minor detail. Overall, the place is beautiful, clean, and secure, and I will definitely be back.

Although Temple is gorgeous, the students at night made for the stay on campus very noisy. The surrounding area does not inspire a sense of safety and does not offer dining choices nearby. The property needs a makeover inside to help with the wear and tear and cleanliness.

Conveniently located to Temple

This hotel is very convenient for visiting Temple, it’s right on the campus! However, it is badly in need of an update. The carpets have seen better days and the whole place just needs a refresh. Love the free coffee that’s out all the time.
