This is a brand new hotel. It is very nice, the staff is great, there is free parking, it is close to the Philadelphia airport, and it is next to Widener College. The only drawback is that there are no restaurants nearby. The college is nice, however, the surrounding neighborhoods are run-down and not a place to be venturing out... more

The room was great ! I enjoyed the suite TV viewing area w/ sofa and chair and ottoman. My spouse loved it also since I stay up later than her. The best feature was the free shuttle ride to Harahs and back almost on demand. The breakfast area was nice and clean w/ an attendant on duty. I enjoyed the... more

Honestly if I could I would have given this hotel a 3.5 out of 5 but there's no half raitings so I upped the points rather than docking because I know there's the potential for this hotel to get better (if it hasn't already). Stayed here back in May 09 while attending a family event. I'm from Chester so usually... more

From the greeting of the front desk worker to the shuttle driver, it is RARE to find the level of service I experienced at Widener Best Western, while staying at a hotel. The rooms were wonderful! They thought of all of the little details that make a huge difference to a traveler in the rooms, not to mention the comfort... more

Easy to get to and right across the street from Widener. Just parked and walked across the street to get to our meeting. Very clean and everyone was very helpful. It's great that they have students from Widener working there too. We just had a basic room but had everything we needed and loved the fact that they used green... more

The cleanest hotel ever! Everything is brand new and with great little details in every room. The staff was was more than helpful. We got lost and checked in late, desk clerk told us not to worry about the check-out time, and take how ever much time we needed.This is a great hotel that I will be staying in again. more

I cannot believe the reviewer who gave this hotel a negative rating based upon the surrounding location. First, the surrounding location has nothing to do with the hotel facility itself or the staff; second, the surrounding area was not bad! Chester is no Anaheim, CA, but it is a quaint and VERY quiet town. We did not feel unsafe, ever,... more

The Best Western Widener is brand new, everything was perfect, shuttle to the Airport on time and the staff was more accommodating than some 5 star hotels I've stayed in. Great location for PHL Airport, not too far from downtown Philadelphia.... will be back..... more

The neighborhood surrounding this hotel is unfortunately unsafe. Adjacent buildings next to our hotel showed signs of a bullet hole that shattered the window. Our family had to awake at 2:30AM to catch a early flight and suprisingly enough, POW POW POW. Literally gunfire outside. My husband and I couldnt believe what we were hearing. All we wanted was to... more
