    First, it's a pleasant day and we're grateful we all made it through and had a place to stay for…read morePenn Relays. The rooms at Candlewood Suites Chester, PA were average, but that was fine for us since we were out at the track meet all day. The upkeep could use more attention, though. Front desk staff was okay. The real problem was transportation. You can't advertise a shuttle service for a hotel and then give wrong information or deny service because you "can't find" the driver or say he isn't picking up. That's unacceptable when teams are on a tight meet schedule. Do better 1 ice cream Van ... advertise that you are running every 1 hr

    Probably would have given them a 2, but holding steady at one, and this is why…read more Here specifically to watch a baseball game. Checked in, brought our luggage to the room, and left. Returned around 11 PM to a fully packed parking lot. Could not park in the handicapped spot (someone in my party needs this), and one of the two cars in the designated spot did not have handicap plates/handicap placard. We went to the front desk to notify them, especially since there are signs saying will tow/fine, etc., and they said there was nothing they could do, so we said we would call the police, and they said they won't come.... parked the car across the street, returned to the lobby area and told the front desk that the police were called. As we were headed toward the elevator, we heard the front desk person tell some other employee who was there to tell.( couldn't decipher a name) to move their car, etc., etc. Beyond sketchy, and illegal. As far as the room goes, old furniture, refrigerator did not work, which we did not realize until we took out our now not cold/not frozen food while packing up. Shower water pressure was good, but overall lighting in both the bathroom and the overall room was dim. Carpet throughout the property was rippled and I tripped over it a few times... Honestly, the front desk staff was unfriendly and really didn't seem to like the fact that they were there... area also appears to be not the safest, so won't be coming back here again..

    Decided to stay in town after visiting friends. My stay was comfortable at a beautifully run and…read moremaintained hotel. Free parking is plentiful out back. Nice access to either the campus or the town. The lady at the front desk at checkin was very helpful. Sorry forgot her name. The Bar/restaurant was great. Good bartender, i think her name was Zoey? She made a good martini and she was fast and efficient. The TV's were tuned to the game and people were happy. Might be a nice place to watch World Cup events. A piano player added to the fun and relaxing vibe.

    It pains me greatly to downgrade the Inn from its previously lofty perch as the near-perfect…read moreno-fuss hotel to merely adequate, and at the price, not such a great deal anymore. What confused me during our stay was we had two rooms, one an accessible room on the third floor, and the other a queen double on the second. I have stayed in both these areas before. The accessible room seemed unchanged. The second floor was very odd. First off, the fantastic soundproofing seems to have vanished -- at least, inside the hotel. The outside is still inaudible, as it was built to shield guests from the sounds of trains. But inside? I could hear our neighbors talk, I could hear their alarms, I could hear the elevator ding and the machinery (it was four doors down, so not that close). There were odd sounds from machinery in the walls and the HVAC systems I don't remember. Then we had a weekend with basically no hot water and no water pressure. Oh, the water trickled out, but it did so at a very tepid temperature and with less pressure than even any water-restricted California shower I've ever seen. I've never ever had such a problem here before. Then a local friend said they'd had renovations and added capacity. Did they -- gut the rooms and subdivide? That would account for the fact the room seemed smaller than I remembered; it would account for having lost the internal soundproofing but not the external, if they did a terrible job at the renovation; and perhaps they didn't bother to upgrade the floor hot water heater (our family member in the accessible room on the third floor did not seem to have this problem), or the plumbing capacity, and what we were getting was water at low pressure after everybody else on the floor had used it. (Although I had the same problem the middle of the day Saturday as I did Saturday and Sunday morning). I won't hold the pathetic EV charger situation against the Inn per se, since it apparently is a college problem: the chargers are limited to four hours! At a slow level 2 J-1772, this meant we got about 15% charge a day. This is ludicrous. I am willing to pay for the charge (the four hours a day is free) if I can, you know, actually charge the car. Limiting it to four hours on the basis of demand is pointless; all the spots were filled on Friday, and none of them charging, because it turns out they were all occupied by staff members of the college who went home at the end of the day and occupied the spot for eight hours, charging only four. The college's commitment to EVs seems -- I can't use a word that expresses this properly. Inconsistent with its avowed Zero by 2035 goals. (All the chargers on campus are the same, and there aren't that many of them, plus you can't use them if you're a visitor, anyway.) The location is perfect if you are visiting the college, but there's a lot going wrong here right now and I'm very, very disappointed. The staff are still extremely nice (especially housekeeping) so I can't downgrade it all the way, but this is worse than the Hampton Inn in Media now, for half again as much each night. There's only so much I'm willing to pay for location.
