Pros: You know that the hotel is located at the campus of Temple University so you also should know that you can have some noise of students walking by. But I love that. And the hotel/campus is located very close by the subway station so withint 5 stops you are in the city center of Philadelphia !

Pros: I chose this hotel based on proximity to an event I was attending which was not a Temple University or related event and yet I enjoyed the nuance of staying on Temple University campus. For anyone with business on campus you cannot get any closer

Pros: This place is so cute! It’s nestled into the Temple campus, so no traffic noise. The room was bigger than I expected. The bed was not super hard, but comfortable. Adequate water pressure in the shower. Coffee and tea is available in the lobby, along with a bowl of apples.

Pros: The Conwell's location was perfect for where I needed to go, making it a lot more resourceful a location than any other option I could've possibly chosen, both in regard to its cost and accessibility.

Cons: The hotel was nice but the guy blowing away leaves, making a lot of noise at 07.15 hrs. on a Sunday morning could rather do his job rather on a Monday ! But probably the management of the university told him to do so. The hotel cannot be blamed for that :-)

Pros: I chose this hotel based on proximity to an event I was attending which was not a Temple University or related event and yet I enjoyed the nuance of staying on Temple University campus. For anyone with business on campus you cannot get any closer
Cons: It's an older hotel, promoted as historic and the carpeting is certainly proof; hence, I could not rate the room or cleanliness a 10. This is no knock on the staff or the cleaning staff it is purely an opinion based on the age of the carpeting.

Pros: This place is so cute! It’s nestled into the Temple campus, so no traffic noise. The room was bigger than I expected. The bed was not super hard, but comfortable. Adequate water pressure in the shower. Coffee and tea is available in the lobby, along with a bowl of apples.
Cons: What they did not tell me, and that I read in reviews is that you have to reserve a parking spot ahead of time, and it costs an extra $20. So worth it though, as there is no public parking nearby. Breakfast options are a little thin, but Saxbys, attached to the hotel has bagels, smoothies and coffee.
