I am late in posting this review. I stayed here on 9/12/11 and enjoyed my stay very much. The beds were very comfortable and the room was a nice size and very clean. I am giving it four stars rather than five since this is not a four star hotel, but it really was very nice. We especially appreciated the... More

Unfortunately this occurred last year, but still burns me. We were staying at this facility and circumstances resulted in our changing rooms. Due to an error on the changeover, the clerk did not remove our name from the previous room. Therefore, we were billed for 2 nights. for duplicate rooms. A human error we could live with, BUT it took... More

No, you won't be stuck in a dorm room, fraternity or sorority house. This Best Western property is tucked away on the Widener University campus about 6 miles south of Philadelphia Int. Airport. Save for occasional traffic jams on I-95, it's no more than a 10-minute ride once you're picked up by the complimentary shuttle van. Drivers in each direction... More

We needed a place to stay to visit my mother-in-law in Wallingford and chose this hotel after reading all the reviews for nearby hotels. It was a good choice and we will return. Staff were helpful and our room was clean and pleasant. We were in the handicap accessible room because we got a special rate (don't know how that... More

We stayed in this hotel at the beginning and end of our vacation to Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We wanted a hotel near the airport, but not so near that we were bothered by plane noise.The desk staff at this hotel are great. Very helpful and eager to please. Gerry, who works the free breakfast room is a real gem.... More

I stay here regularly on business and recommend it as a nice comfortable, clean and modern hotel with a friendly staff. The van service is frequent to the airport. The area immediately around this Best Western is ok but parts of Chester are not that desirable. Would be nice if they had more food choices,, no resaurant at the hotel... More

I was booked into this hotel by Hotwire. NEVER USE HOTWIRE!! First, this hotel is MILES from the airport so the name is a lie. It is miles from the airport and there are no airport amenities in site (ie lighting, restaurants, gas stations). We arrived after dark. The hotel shares the building which, while new, was completely dark and... More

In the past, I feel like I have been burned at Best Westerns. They vary greatly in quality and some franchisees are losers who manage horrendous properties. This Best Western was, fortunately, an exception. It was well run and more than adequate for our visit in the area. I would say it was similar in price and amenities to Hampton... More

We had an unplanned stay here on Monday 25th July due to a delayed flight and arrived near midnight. I would just like to say that the lady who checked us in was very helpful and seemed completely unfazed by the queue of tired customers she had to deal with all by herself alongside the endless phone calls for rooms...
