Bryn Mawr Condo

The condo was clean and easy to access from the Bryn Mawr train station. It satisfied my needs, as I wanted to be somewhere I could walk to where I was working. When I wanted to go into Philadelphia, it was a very easy car free process.

Confusion and Poor Communication

I've stayed here in the past and had no issues, so it was disappointing to have things go this way. When i arrived in the evening, the key was not where the instructions said it would be. I called, but no answer, and messaged but no reply. I entered with my luggage to find another couples things already in the apartment. Then, they came home and we tried to figure it out together. I ended up going into the suite next door, since it was unlocked, although cleaning supplies were out and it wasn't ready for guests. The next morning, her nephew tried to help us get keys and other things taken care of. We never heard back from the host. It turned out alright, and I like the place, but if the suite hadn't been unlocked and the nephew hadn't been there, I would have been out of luck!

Charming and convenient stay in Bryn Mawr

I had a comfortable stay at the Bryn Mawr Guest Suites while visiting my daughter at a nearby college. The unit was clean, well managed, and the proprietor was helpful and so friendly. The location is excellent. Don’t be deterred by the proximity to the train tracks—periodic low rumblings and nothing disturbed my sleep. Will be staying again!

accessibility

It is an old place. However, it was clean, accessible to restaurants and others. The train runs behind the house, but it did not bother us, more like white noise that we slept through it, but noticed it when awake. The property owner was friendly and accommodating; she responded quickly to our requests. We have no complaints.

Villanova and Philadelphia visit

Very clean and very well supplied and everything worked well. Old carpet looked a little scary but was clean and I felt very comfortable. Nice walking to restaurants nearby and easy walk to Villanova campus.100 year old house but nicely kept up and functional. I would definitely stay again and the owner was there as Anne Marie was away. Very accommodating and helpful. Good private parking. I was concerned about being so close to the train tracks but was not a problem at all.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Marie Woods

Host profile image
My name is Ann Marie Woods, and I am a passionate world-traveler who knows quite a bit about making Guest Suites comfortable for travelers of all kinds. I have a love for Bryn Mawr and am always happy to recommend my favorite bars, restaurants, and other local attractions to interested visitors.

Why they chose this property

The translation of “Bryn Mawr” from Welsh means large hill. We’re set between Schuylkill and Delaware Valley. It is now a thriving suburb of Philadelphia yet has the feeling of a small village. We are convenient, cozy, and at the center of Bryn Mawr! Perfect for visiting parents of college students.

Originally known as Penn’s Woods,the area is located due West of Philadelphia. In the 1800’s, a rail-road know as the Main Line was built for wealthy Philadelphians to travel to their country homes. Built by Welsh and Celtic railroad builders, the station names they introduced are still used today.

The proprietor, Ann Marie Woods’, Grandparents left a small Village in Donegal, Ireland looking for a better life in America. They settled in Bryn Mawr in 1920. The building housing the Guest Suites was built the same year and reflects the simple and quaint quality of life of those times. The aim is to carry on the tradition of a cozy and comfortable Irish Guest House.
