Stayed for 3 nights and had a great experience. The room was clean, spacious, and the king-size bed was very comfortable. Front desk and housekeeping staff were professional and friendly. I also appreciated the fast service when I requested an electric kettle for tea. The only minor issue was that the bathroom sliding door was a bit hard to move. Overall, a pleasant stay and I would return.

Well they're doing some renovation so you have to be prepared for taking the stair here and going around the construction site there ,but with that said the place is just a gem in a perfect location with great people and a fantastic bar and restaurant on the first floor. Old School Travelers happiness in every way.

The place is getting renovated and the overall appearance and amenities have slipped a bit since my prior stays. The complementary brewed coffee in the lobby is no longer available and access is now only through the entrance on Samson Street. Staff were still great, as ever.
Etta, 1-night trip
Verified review

6/10 Good

We stayed at the Inn at Penn for a concert, and the location was excellent—very convenient and probably the biggest reason we chose this hotel. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience didn't live up to our expectations. From the time we checked in until we left the following morning, there was a pile of dirty towels and several bags of trash sitting in the hallway outside our room. Seeing them there the entire stay made the hotel feel unkempt. Inside our room, the carpet had several noticeable stains, and while the bathtub didn't appear dirty, it was heavily stained and cracked, giving it a worn appearance. The wall-mounted shampoo and body wash dispensers were also empty, with full replacement bottles simply left sitting on the shower ledge instead of being installed. We had also planned to use the fitness center, but upon arriving we were told it was closed due to construction. It would have been helpful to know that before our stay. Overall, the location was perfect for attending a concert, but the lack of cleanliness, maintenance, and amenities made this a disappointing experience. While the staff was polite, we don't think we'll be returning.

There is some construction going on that makes the layout a bit confusing, but even with that, we had a very pleasant 3 day stay in a comfy clean room, great bathroom, nice common areas, and a fabulous, accommodating staff. Also attached to a really fun restaurant/bar, Louie Louie. Great location for the University and Penn Medicine facilities.
