EV charging is mentioned (four chargers), though reviews note that the spots may not be clearly reserved for EV-only use, which can affect availability.

Best for

It also works well for people planning day trips to gardens and parks around Newtown Square (such as Chanticleer and Ridley Creek State Park) while staying within reach of major Philadelphia attractions.
Travel tips
Plan to use GPS for arrival, as guests note the hotel can be tricky to find without it. If you drive an EV, factor in that chargers are present but may not be reliably available due to unclear/unenforced EV-only signage. For meals, consider whether you want the paid breakfast on-site or the nearby chain restaurant options adjacent to the property.
What guests say

Reviews also highlight friendly check-in staff and a modern, newer-building feel with contemporary design choices (such as a hanging rack instead of a full closet and sliding bathroom doors).

On the downside, some guests mention practical quirks, including limited/unclear EV-charger availability and an unusual sink design that can leave water pooling in the basin.
