Stayed for one night, the room only had a stand up shower which to bad but I would have preferred a full bath tub, cable channels are very limited and the dont have room service which I'm use to but other than that its comfortable and clean!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Our room was clean, quiet and modern. We would definitely stay here again if we needed to spend the night .

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very clean and comfortable when we arrived. However front desk clerk was busy on the phone with a personal call when checking in and never set it down. Room service never took care of our room the next day so we had to go to the desk to get clean towels and toilet paper for that day. Once again when checking out I handed the keys in and was told I was […] all set while another employee was chating on the phone. Its to bad that the girls were so busy on the phone they couldnt speak with the guest because the hotel itself was very nice and enjoyed a quiet stay. Read more

Nice room. Very quiet. Breakfast could have been better. Not much selection of breakfast items. Bagels were stale, coffee was cold. Room was clean but toiletries weren't replaced even when used up and housekeeping failed to replace my towels on one of the 2 days that I stayed. Overall, I would recommend and return to this hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Difficult to find. Entrance is not on the address street. No real signs. Parking lot not identified at all - and nearly a block from the entrance. It would seem like a new hotel, but inside that is clearly not the case. The hotel did not have my Expedia reservation on file, but they eventually accepted it and gave me a room. No restaurants in the area […] as far as the reservation clerk knew or I could find. They recommended delivery. Actually drove two towns over before I stumbled on a pizza place. The free breakfast was very minimal. Read more

Stayed for a Night because of Storm related issue in nj. Perfect comfort for the money i paid.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were flying out of the Philadelphia airport in the morning. Hotel was about a 10-15 minute drive so it's super convenient. Hotel also offers a shuttle to the hotel which is nice.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The sheets were pilled and the pillows lumpy and uncomfortable. The mattresses were no better than average. There was no blowdryer in the room. There were (almost) enough good, clean towels. Room smelled like BO when we first entered, and the neighborhood was dangerous late at night when we got there. Street people hit us up below the hotel, and parking […] was random, on the street. Breakfast was ample with waffles. I would not go back. Read more

Issues that greeted us as our stay started: 1)broken shower fixture, 2)a beeping battery low smoke alarm, 3)a locked safe, and 4)a party they couldn't control. It took 4 calls to the front desk and a visit to get something done. Each call promised someone was coming up "right now" and we couldn't change rooms because the hotel was booked full. With […] the visit I had to explain everything again for the fifth time so they could document it and a room was suddenly found and it was an upgrade. The new room was nice and the rest of the stay went off much better. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

To begin with, I was assigned to a handicapped accessible room. The shower device was too short (and I"m not a tall guy), making it extremely difficult to bathe without staying bent over. Worse still was the lack of soap. I was provided with a single one and a half inch square bar of soap for a two night stay and the shampoo and conditioner were not […] replenished. Because my involvement with (semi adjacent) Widener University will require me to return to the area, frequently, I am hesitant about staying at this hotel in the future. Read more

The automatic curtain did not fully fiction. The shower leaked into the floor.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was clean & organized: The staff was very accommodating and helpful. It was 10 pm, and I was in need of a few emergency copies for a presentation the next morning. The desk staff helped me out of a jam and solved my issue. Room: the room was spacious and nice. Unfortunately I had a handicap bathroom which posed some challenges. The sink area […] was very small and the shower only had a handheld sprayer (without a dock). So showering took some strategic balancing and planning. Free airport shuttle was key: The breakfast was basic but sufficient. 7-11 next door was super convenient. Good room rate value. A very workable hotel for a business overnight. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Inside I felt fine but outside the place was not comfortable and messy by the 7-11, plus the parking was not obvious.

Genuine Expedia guest review

neighborhood is not the best, but hotel is great. shuttle service to casino and PPL Park is very convenient as walking in the area is not advised

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay. First of all, the proximity to the airport is great. My room was very spacious and comfortable. It had all the amenities to make my one night stay comfortable. There is a seven eleven on the ground floor right next to the hotel, which was also a nice convinience to have. This was probably the best Best Western […] I've ever stayed at. The breakfast area is clean, spacious, and filled with natural light thanks to the large windows. The breakfast food is not great, but it is sufficient. The only negatives were that my room was close to the elevator, and the noise from some rowdy guests was audible in my room. The bathroom is, while spacious, insufficiently lit in my opinion. Also, the shower head was awkward and difficult to position. I had a hard time taking a shower. The shower tends to flood outside of its boundaries, leaving the floor wet. Other than that, the room was great and the bed was comfortable. Read more

Great stay!!! Really appreciated the shuttle service to/from soccer stadium. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. Room was very clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. The shuttle service was fantastic, with courteous and helpful drivers. There are no restaurants or services in the area, which could be a bit of a problem if you don't have a car, but the hotel makes the shuttle available to take guests to the airport and/or the local Harrah's casino, where there […] are numerous food options. The room was huge and well-kept. Read more

This hotel in definately not in a very nice part of town. The front of the hotel faces the university, but the back, where the parking is looks like a seedy part of town. We were in town for my cousins wedding and got there early so we could get dressed at the hotel. When we arrived, the lobby was very warm which should have been a sign of things to […] come. Our room was roasting and after 2 hours the air conditioning still did not work in our room. We called the front desk and they informed me that a maintnence man would be there to fix the problem, within 2 more hours. I had to get ready for the wedding in the heat and later that night, we learned that the a/c could not be fixed. They were willing to DOWN grade our room because that was all that was available, but we were already at the wedding and wouldnt be back til after midnight. Also, we went down to the front desk for more towels and shampoo because there was 4 of us in the room and they didn't have any shampoo or conditioner to give us. Even though the sign in the room stated that they would be happy to supply any tolietries. And finally, the next morning breakfast was served from 6am until 10am. We arrived at 7:45am only to find 2 pieces of wheat bread, some hard boiled eggs and a lady making the last few waffles. Everything else ws gone and they had nothing else to serve. Needless to say, I was more than disgusted with our overall stay at this hotel. Read more

Building and hotel are fairly new, so the facilities are nice. The room was not as clean as I'd like, there was visible dust and the bathroom had some stains on the tile. However, it was acceptable. The area is a little sketchy. A female traveling alone may want to stay somewhere closer to the city. This is pretty suburban.

Genuine Expedia guest review

No complaints about the hotel itself. A little difficult to find the parking lot, and a little strange getting to the entrance from the parking lot. Neighborhood was a bit shady, but once inside we felt safe and were very comfortable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

At the time we were there, the toilet in our room did not flush. We alerted the desk staff and they were nice about it but said that was just how it was. They did not offer to give us a different room and we didn't press it. Our family needed to use restrooms elsewhere during our stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Booked this hotel because ad said it had 24 hour airport shuttle. On arrival, found out that it doesn't run 24 hours. After complaining, front desk manager put me in a cab and had me wait for a few other guests which caused me to almost be late and added stress that I really didn't need.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was a very nice hotel. While the parking was somewhat limited, one can't really complain since the parking is free. Otherwise, a good choice to be close to the airport or Widener University.

Genuine Expedia guest review

the bed linen had spots on the sheets,i had to change them.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

One of the women at the front desk was rude, but the others were professional. Widener is only a three minute walk away, but don't go walking around the area at night. Shuttle drivers were extremely nice and helpful. Shuttle will drive you to the airport for free where you can catch a cheap train into town if you want to check out Philadelphia. Other […] than the rude woman at the front desk, I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking to stay close to Widener, etc. Read more

Convenient,fantastic airport shuttle service fast and super friendly,very helpfull,very courteous. The room although clean had vaseline container under the bed. UCK!! We would however recommend the hotel and stay there again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel was a pleasant surprise when used as a stay-over before a flight the next day.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Horrible noise control, I was up all night between the hallway noise, person above me walking and next door arguing. The neighborhood is less than desirable, and not one to be walking alone even during the day in.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff were very helpful in letting us know where to go for a good meal.They are also very friendly.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was a nice clean hotel. There was no charge for parking. The amount i paid for the room was less than what i would have paid for parking and this way i did not have a 3 hr commute to philly in the early morning

Genuine Expedia guest review

i stayed one night in the hotel every thing were perfect ..the bed was a first class am completely satisfied

Genuine Expedia guest review

By far, the best thing about this hotel was their service. My family went to Philadelphia for a weekend stay. We did not rent a vehicle which we were hesitant of. The hotel shuttle picked us up at the airport quickly. The drivers were very friendly. They were available to drive us anywhere between airport and hotel at any time. Hotel located in a college […] town so not much to do in the area, so they make up for it their service/shuttle. Rooms very clean. Front desk needs to work on their customer service a little. They could come across a little more friendly. Breakfast was good and the staff friendly. We chose this hotel because the rates were most reasonable, it looked the cleanest and was recently updated inside. When we return to Philly we will stay at this hotel again. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is new and very clean with generous roms and bath. Chester itself is not a great town at all with boarded up homes etc . However, this hotel sits right at Widener Univ. and it seems quite safe. They also inlcude a nice breakfast and everything was clean and kept.

Genuine Expedia guest review

like it a lot.

Genuine Expedia guest review

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

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

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

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.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

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

Genuine Expedia guest review

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.

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.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

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
