We were at the Best Western at Widener University for three nights. Our room and the common areas were clean., There were places where the carpets were worn out and dirty and we thought this was odd since the hotel is not that old. Previously written reviews are correct, it's not located in a safe area. We did not venture... More

It is not in the nicest area but if you are there to see someone at Widener it works for me. I would stay there again if need be.. The 7-11 next door has snacks and water and things because the hotel only has a soda machine.

I stayed here around September 2012. They have a good shuttle which can takr you to the Casino etc. It can also take you to the Airport and from there you can take the Train into the City. It's not the best but it's ok. The service is good. The staff is accomadating.

This had been our go-to hotel at least once or twice a year for about 4 years due to its great proximity to the city with free parking and breakfast. The last few times have gotten progressively worse, and this last time was indeed the last time. The hotel is so poorly managed and the staff (with the exception of... More

This review similar to others below. Entrance to hotel is difficult to find. Room was fine. Early morning transport to hotel was good. Pickup at airport was terrible (45 minute wait). The airport is too far away to expect timely pickups.

We chose this property because my daughter had an information/interview day at Widener, and we didn't have a car. We were not familiar with the area, so we chose the hotel closest to the university. It is right across the street from the campus. The entrance gate is right there. That's the best part. We arrived at Philadelphia Int'l. Airport,... More

This hotel is hidden by a TD Bank. It is impossible on first approach to realize where the entrance is (on a side street), and how the parking lot works. The room was oddly-shaped L, and seemed cleaner than other reviewers have found. The front desk staff supplied linens for the sofabed and extra towels (although they offered tootsie-roll shaped...

The people who work here are helpful and friendly, but the hotel is way to dirty for being relatively new. Slow and frustrating Internet. Pretty dam far from the airport. The neighborhood gets really bad only a couple of blocks away.

I have stayed here twice (5 months apart) and I can write essentially the same review each time. Return to find my room essentially uncleaned. The bed was made. Other than that, nothing. Dirty coffee cups remained, ice bucket full of melted ice, no replacement of supplies (shampoo, coffee for the in-room machine, or new paper cups for the coffee... More
