Best Western Philadelphia Airport S. at Widener University

I picked this hotel because of its proximity to PHL airport and I-95 and Claymont, DE. It is new and clean and quiet and featured a nice breakfast. It is a little tricky to find the first time because it looks like an office building and has a small sign. There is a bank in the same building which you see first. Otherwise, a nice hotel and good val […] ue. Read more

We stayed here after a Philadelphia Union game. It was very close to the stadium and the hotel was very nice. The city of Chester is not the best but within a block of the hotel felt somewhat safe. Management is not the friendliest. We had a group of 7 guys and as soon as we walked in he threatened to call the cops if we caused any problems. We did […] not do anything while walking in to get that kind of response. Overall nice and the Continental breakfast was good. Read more

Clean, well worth the money

Genuine Expedia guest review

Part of a mixed use project that includes apartments and a convenience store. Parking lot was open to surrounding neighborhood that was very decrepit. There did not appear to be any security cameras and very poor lighting in the lot, which was completely out of view from the hotel lobby. Convenience store attracted a bunch of low life looking characters. Although […] the hotel was pretty new, the chair in my room had a large, obvious stain that looked like the source was some sort of bodily fluids. When I notified management, instead of offering to move me to a different room, they said they would be sure to have someone look at it the next day. The following morning while having the continental breakfast, the server decided the best morning music for the guests was the local rap station which blared from somewhere in the kitchen. I would definitely not stay here again. Read more

I enjoyed my stay. The surrounding neighborhood was a little seedy but the staff was attentive and the room was nice. There is a college directly across the street so there was at least some feeling of security. If you just want a nice place to sleep at a reasonable price in the vicintiy of the airport, you'll like this one.

Rooms was nice. Shuttle to airport was easy. Not many places to eat around hotel - can take shuttle or order room service. Hotel is directly across street from college campus. We were there during summer - so no school in session.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

When I stayed here recently, the room was very large for the price, and the bed was comfortable. The elevator had some issues that kept it from working all the time, which meant 4 floors of stairs, and the neighborhood was pretty rough, including boarded up houses just behind the building parking lot. The hotel sits right on the edge of Widener's campus […] and I think some students were staying in the hotel, so I did see campus security around; just not much late at night. If you need to be at Widener (or you've rented a car to get anywhere else in Philly) and you are on a tight budget, this is a good choice. Just don't leave anything in your car and don't wander around at night alone. Read more

Hotel is very clean and well maintained. Only problem that I can think of is that the hotel sign is not large enough and not well lit at night. First time I stayed at the hotel I drove right past is and nearly missed it again when I was retracing my route.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is a hidden gem. Close to airport yet a third of the cost of other hotels. Free parking for duration of trip and free shuttle to and from airport and casino. The rooms were nice size, lots storage, and were clean. I will always stay here whenever I have an early flight. Enjoyed my stay, Staff were very nice.

The room was clean but there were issues in the bathroom. The toilet seat was broken, tissue paper holder coming out of the wall, shower did not work and there was no tub, water pressure in sink was low. The issues were brought to the attention of Molly Fisher, the manager on the next day. She had it all taken care of while we were out for the day AND […] gave us a gift card for $150 toward our next stay at Best Western. We had used Best Western for several other reservations on our trip and were pleased with the accomodations and consider this occurance the exception rather than the rule. I was very pleased with the efficient response by Molly and would reserve with Best Western again without hesitation. Just an aside. I think it would benefit the overall impresson of the hotel to keep the area from the parking lot to the hotel entrance swept daily as it is a kind of walkthrough area from 7/11 store and people seem to throw debris there ie paper cups, cigarette butts, paper wrappers etc. Read more

Forced to wait over an hour at the airport for the free shuttle...then realized the following morning that no bath towels were stocked in the room. This is a comfortable, quiet hotel for a short stay - just hope you don't have to interact with the staff.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Although I did not have a bad experience at this hotel, 3 blocks away was not a very safe area and I would run in after my return from dinner every night. There is nothing at walking distance so I recommend you have an automobile. If you are visting the university, this is a great hotel for you. If not, try Media, PA area.

We just stayed for one night and did the park and leave. I felt safe and also felt safe leaving my car in their lot for the weekend. We had a driver to the airport in a nice and clan mini-van. Our driver Jay was te man! He was so nice and had great conversation on the way to and from the airport! We did not wait long for him to come neither. Jay I hope […] this e-mail takes you by surprise because you had just told us you were new to the hotel's employee staff. Thanks Jay. We would recommend this place to our friends and would stay with you in the future. Mark and Donna and my 2 children Thank you Jay. Read more

Hotel was clean and the location worked for what we needed to do while we were there. The staff was great and the breakfest was good.

The location Airport south was a bit misleading. The area is not the best, buit I wouldn't say it was bad. I wasn't sure what dining was available inteh immediate area. IT is also located right across the street froma University. The room was fine. If you are looking for a true airport location, I believe their are probably several others closer to […] the airport.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Clean ,comfortable, spacious rooms and the bathroom was beautiful! Breakfast server Geraldine is the sweetest most helpful woman. She greeted us with a big smile each day and made sure we had everything we needed. She even made us waffles!!! The cleaning woman did a terrific job refreshing our room each day...that was […] nice. We were attending the NCAA Wrestling Tournament at the Wells Fargo Center and it took 10 minutes to get there. Almost a straight shot, that was so convenient. 7-11 about 100 feet away which was great not having to search for a store. Didn't use the Exercise Room but it looked great and clean. We have never stayed at a Best Western before this and after our experience we will always look for one from now on. Best Western in Chester PA ROCKS! Look for Geraldine!! Read more

Hard to find but worth the effort. Excellent rooms, friendly staff, helpful and courteous. The beds were great, the facilities were spotless, and the coffee in the morning was good. incredible value for the money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First of all, the hotel needs a bigger sign outside. everyone that came to our hotel drove right past it.The neighborhood is sketchy and I wouldn't recommend any evening strolls. There are no diners or eateries close by but the take-out menu was extensive and very good.It was right across the street from Widener campus and would be very convenient for […] parents. The rooms were very clean and nice. The housekeeping staff was incredible and very hospitable.We were given the wrong room when we got there but Expedia fixed it. The front desk staff was somewhat rude and not very informative or helpful. They could benefit by taking some hospitality courses at Widener. Maybe the housekeeping staff should run the front desk. There is no pool but you can use the college's one on campus with a free pass.There also is no hot tub but there is a small exercise area. The best thing about our stay was the easy access to major roads and areas we needed to visit---I95, Blue route, 420, 252, 520, etc. I don't know if we would stay there again. Read more

We selected this hotel because of the proximity to Swarthmore College. I have no complaints whatsoever about the hotel itself, but the neighborhoods to the north and west look a bit seedy.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Our experience was quite good: nice room, pleasant staff, the van driver was great, the lady at the breafkast room was helpful too. Even the standard breakfast was better than usual (no yellow hockey puck eggs :). We did have noise/party issues very late, I finally called the desk at 0130 to ask it to stop and fortunately it did quit fairly quickly, […] but by then I'd lost 2-3 hours of sleep! Read more

We had a great time. The hotel was very clean, and had very contemporary furniture. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast could have had a bigger selection of fruit, but they did have muffins, bagels, cereal, coffee, tea, orange juice, apple juice, chipped beef gravy, toast, and a waffle maker. It was all very good. The location […] is great for going to PPL park, because of the free shuttle, and free parking at the hotel. It's only a 5 minute drive. Although this hotel is right across the street from Widner University, the surrounding area is a little bit ghetto looking. I wouldn't go walking around alone at night or anything, but I did feel very safe while inside the hotel. It was super nice, and I'd go back in a heartbeat! Read more

I had read many reviews and thought I knew what to expect from this hotel, but totally disappointed. Location was much worse then I had anticipated. Not being a frequent traveler of large cities, this experience was a little intimidating. If it weren't for the helpful and friendly staff this stay would have been a total disaster.

My wife and I stayed here for three nights during a visit to Philadelphia and New York. I can't say enough good about the hotel. It was clean, located conveniently, and well maintained.

We booked here for an early flight out of PHL. This property was chosen for location near the airport and price. While some of the surrounding area is a little "sketchy", directly across the street is Widener University. The room we got was a large suite. Much nicer than we had expected. Would recommend this hotel highly.

Location has no restaurants or stores within walking distance (except for a 7-11) One front desk lady had a very negative attitude which made the stay unpleasant. With that exception, the staff was very nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is fairly new and is in excellent condition. The room was adequate,the bed was very comfortable and the hotel ammenities were as expected. We were a little nervous when arriving at night, but it was well lit outside despite the immediate neighborhood. All in all we would gladly stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel and guest rooms are new, comfortable, and clean. Convenient to I95 and Swarthmore College. Surrounding neighborhood is rundown and had delapidated, boarded up buildings. The walk from the parking lot to the entrance was long and nerve-wracking late at night. Continental breakfast in the morning was very bad -- poor selection and unpalatable […] food. When visiting the area again, we will choose to stay elsewhere. Read more

This is an excellent choice if you are attending an event in any of the surrounding colleges. The hotel is new, the staff amazing, but the neighborhood may not be as good as the hotel. So, you will need a car for everything you need. Nevertheless, we didn't feel threaten or had any problems. It has easy access to the major highway.

Stayed in May 2011 for 4 nights. Very nice hotel in new condition. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. This hotel has a European feel. Staff is helpful and friendly. Breakfast is quite good with several choices. The lady will make you waffles if you wish. In a university area with good access from highway 95. Not really easy of access if using public […] transportation but they have a shuttle to the airport and then you can take public transportation from there. Read more

il sevizio di navetta da e per l'aeroporto lascia molto a desiderare, malgrado la vicinanza con lo stesso. Personale che al primo problema non risulta in grado di risolverlo ma esorta esclusivamente a lamentarsi dal manager.

フロントの方をはじめとして、スタッフの方がみなさんとても親切でした。 お部屋も広く快適です。 空港からのシャトルで迎えに来て頂けるので、アクセスも便利でした。

L'hotel si trova a meno di dieci minuti dall'aeroporto. E' alle spalle di una zona universitaria. Shuttle gratuito da e per l'aeroporto. Stanza grande e pulita. Colazione inclusa. Da consigliare se bisogna restare vicini all'aeroporto.
