The staff was excellent. Mia was at the front desk when we checked in - friendly and very knowledgeable about the Temple campus. She was very helpful in arranging an extra bed in the room, going out of her way to confirm when it was convenient to us for her to be in the room and setting up the bed by herself. The only reason for less than 5 stars is that the queen bed was extremely soft, so soft that management should consider replacing the mattress.

Very well-located, even if you don't have business at Temple University (it is on the grounds). Short walk to Broad Street (Orange) line, which gets you to downtown quickly; also a short walk from AIR train line. Dining options surrounding it were fine, but geared towards students. Inn is an older building, but well-maintained. There is a student run cafe inside which has solid muffin, smoothie & coffee options. The rooms are on the old side, and the bed was quite soft (too soft) but it was clean. The bathroom is small, which is OK, but the sink has no place to put your shaver, toothbrush or anything else -- and it all tilts towards the drain; need to add a small thin shelf to the wall. Overall, if you find a reasonable price, like I did (about $70 cheaper than downtown), I would definitely stay here again.

The location, service, and cleanliness were all perfect. The only problem I had was the bathroom door. It wa so tight that I ran it over my toes several times. Lol

It is literally on the Temple U campus! It is right around the corner from the Inn. As small as it is it is located near a variety of restaurants to eat from. The bed is comfortable! The wallpaper should be updated in the bathroom but it was clean and it had no signs of being worn out/abused (holes).No mini fridge in the room or microwave. They have the fridge available for an extra fee of $10?! they ice machine, it is in the basement.Parking is $21.60 (taxes) per night but you can come and go as you please you just need to have the placard for your mirror when parked. 24 hour 7 eleven in walking distance if you need something to drink or snack on!

Spend wisely and stay away

The check-in was the only positive. Room was in much need of an upgrade and was overall not clean. I Had to clean the tv remote B/c it was sticky dirty. I found a hair between the top sheet and the fitted sheet. Yuck. Upon checkout, the desk clerk couldn’t even stop talking to a coworker to say goodbye. After I put my card keys on the counter and turned to walk away, I went back to put the cardkey below the counter so no one would take them and re enter my room, then the staff person said “I see them”. No good bye or inquiry about my stay. It was almost like a Hostile.
