Hotels Near Maine Memorial in Upper Merion Township

I’ve stayed at this place multiple times and have never been disappointed. Their service is top notch and continues to be at a top level post covid. As an example, I saw the bartender Erica mopping the floors at 12.30 in the morning to ensure the place was ready for the morning. Just one example of the service level I’ve come to expect at this place.

Very nice hotel. King room was spacious and clean. The room had a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. AC not too loud. Bed and pillows were comfortable. I would give it 5 stars but for a couple of ridiculous issues. 1: there were no cups in the bathroom or with the ice bucket. 2. The sliding shower doors only opened from one end so you had to stand fully in the shower to turn on the taps resulting in being fully deluged in ice cold water until warm water reached the room. 3. I was charged with a small fee for “parking lot maintenance” that was never explained or approved to be added to my credit card. When I called about it, the hotel refunded that fee, but I thought it was quite underhanded to not inform me before charging it.

I checked in this afternoon and was greeted by Shana and Marlenea who are the two friendliest, happy and helpful people I’ve ever met at a hotel. I tried to pick up a rental car at the Hertz counter at the train station and had 4 employees there try to avoid eye contact with me so they wouldn’t have to help me. Then they told me they had my reservation but no cars were available. I wasn’t in the best mood when I checked into the hotel but these amazing ladies changed my day. I’ll continue to stay here when I’m in town because of them!

Breakfast is OK, if you are not too demanding. We live in two big bed rooms, two adults with two children no problem. You must drive here, and it is more than 20 minutes drive from a ship museum. It is suitable for children to play. A few minutes walk next to a Chinese restaurant is reasonable, Hong Kong people open, Cantonese cuisine is very good, Sichuan cuisine is still okay. The hotel is very clean and has an indoor pool and gym. The hotel is not big, it can't be upscale, but it is much better than the motel. I have more than 1,500 for two nights, free breakfast. The price is not bad in the holiday in August. It may be because there are no big tourist attractions around! Overall good!

Perfect stay for sports families in adorable town! Our team stayed here for a soccer tournament. Front desk check in Ley was super nice and friendly and was there at front desk the whole stay check in and check out. She is definitely putting in overtime for her company. Hard worker that I hope is recognized. . Hotel was clean. Nice drinks when you walk in. teens boys had the ability to walk around to pool and fitness room. We called before spoke to front desk for options to eat as a team. Got Courtney who sent me packages to order from Restaurant. She was very friendly and response. We decided since other families had other plans a few of us ordered pizzas from seasons pizza. Order was ready on time. Good pizza. We all ate in the side with patio chairs and tables and then to the bar the parents. Fun night and great stay!

Although we were brought to the area for a funeral, staying at the HGI in Fort Washington made our time the most pleasant it could realistically be. - Location: The hotel is very close to a metro station connecting to downtown Philly and other suburbs. Several fast food places are also within walking distance. The interstate is just feet away as well. Far from Philadelphia as a city, but central to all the modern conveniences of suburbia. - Atmosphere: The grounds were kept up well, and the lobby felt vibrant and inviting, as are most HGIs. My family always felt safe and comfortable. - Service: The front desk was certainly slow, as the previous review has mentioned, and I hope more staff can be hired to speed things along in the future. It seemed as if only one individual was manning the reception at any given moment. Perhaps other members of staff can be encouraged to pitch in too? Nonetheless, each employee delivered the best, most friendly service they could provide. I appreciated their commitment to my request for a room facing the smaller south side of the property. - Rooms: Originally I was going to sleep with my family, but at the last moment decided to snag a points reward for my own room (snoring had a bit to do with it…shh). Both rooms I’d stepped into were clean and comfortable, albeit slightly on the older side. Thankfully in my own room, I couldn’t really hear any noise from the highway or the metro train, but I could hear some while spending time in my family’s room. - Amenities: Unless you’re gold or higher, breakfast is not free at HGIs. My family made a run to Dunkin’ across the street to solve that problem, as the paid selections on site looked just meh for the price. There’s a restaurant that serves other meals throughout the day, as well as some public computers, a pool, a fitness center, and nice outdoor areas to relax. The free Wifi was fast. - Value: Overall I was satisfied with the value my family and I had for our stay. One thing to note, and I know it’s general hotel policy in most places—but it would have been difficult to ask for a waiver or reduction of the steep incidental deposit put on your card at check-in. As a budget-conscious traveler who never wrecks rooms or charges anything to them, I usually try to negotiate either a lower deposit or have the hotel waive it altogether…this hotel felt very steadfast about its policy. 75 bucks as the deposit for a night. I had no issues getting refunded that amount, but just a heads up. I even overheard another guest commiserating lightly about it with reception…not just me who thinks it can get out of hand! I would gladly return to the HGI in Fort Washington if I need to return to suburban Philly in the future!
