My stay at The Conwell Inn had its ups and downs. The location was super convenient for visiting Temple University, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. However, the bed was way too soft, which made sleeping uncomfortable, and the parking situation was a bit tricky. Overall, it was decent for my needs, but the mattress situation was a bummer.

My stay at The Conwell Inn was pleasant, with the charming, historical atmosphere and friendly staff being highlights. However, finding the entrance was a bit tricky and the carpeting in my room could use an update. The comfortable bedding made for a restful night, but I did notice a few issues with noise from neighboring rooms. Overall, it’s a great option if you're visiting Temple University.

My stay at The Conwell Inn was a mix of ups and downs. The location is fantastic, right by Temple University, making it easy for me to access the campus. However, I found the room's temperature control problematic, and the mattress was too soft for my comfort, which negatively impacted my sleep. Overall, while the staff was friendly and the atmosphere inviting, the issues with the bed and room conditions are worth considering for future stays.

I had a good time at The Conwell Inn, especially because of its location close to Temple University and the friendly staff who made me feel welcome. However, the comfort of the bed left much to be desired, which significantly affected my sleep quality. The cleanliness of the rooms and overall atmosphere were appealing, but issues with bed comfort and parking constraints were notable downsides.
