Sherrie
Small room. Did have a microwave (didn't try it) with a mini refrigerator and freezer (both worked). Single (small) shower could be updated. Mattress was comfortable. Room was clean. Had a folding chair to use plus a small space with hangers. Had a mirror in the bedroom as well as the bathroom. Good for a short stay.

had a little bit of a late check-in, but the owner recognized my name and had my key ready to go as soon as i arrived! always a pleasure staying here—clean, convenient, good parking, wawa across the street, etc. anytime i’m going to media or philly, i always book here. i’ve never been disappointed.

Very sketchy area - not well maintained. Rooms were clean enough but had a funky smell. Double room had air in one “room” and a fan in the other. As someone who appreciates the details, you get what you pay for.
Howard
Attended an event in Philadelphia for the weekend and need an inexpensive place to lay my head. Found this location near the septa and convenient to my travels, and in a nice little town with restaurants and night life. Motel was old but recently renovated which made the stay good.. clean quiet and very accommodating.. will definitely stay again.
Kizzy
The tables were sticky, the bathroom needed to be completely redone, peeling paint, the hook on the bathroom door was hanging off, the ‘blanket’ was more like a second sheet. The tv didn’t work, but after playing with some cords staff was able to fix it within 30 minutes. The best thing about the stay is that it was quiet, the air worked, and the staff were friendly
Jody
Room very small & poor layout. Microwave & frig behind bathroom door - awkward. Alcove with those 2 items dark, needs light. No clock.
Plenty of drawer storage & electrical outlets tho no nightlights.
We didn’t use tv other than for brief news.
Parking very convenient, right at door entrance. Some traffic noise from local roads but no rowdy guests in our three nights stay.
Live-in manager extremely courteous, pleasant, friendly with a charming family. Easy check-in and check out so we would recommend for someone wanting the basics & clean but not if one needed a lot of space to move around or if
you wanted extras like breakfast or coffee or movies et cetera. Wawa close by.

The room was smaller than I thought but it was clean. Be mindful of the busy street and traffic noise. Also people outside often and you can hear everything. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Christopher
Easy parking
Easy access to gas station right across the street.
The shower floor was less than clean. The caulking was all blackened.
They gave us a very thin blanket that didn't keep us warm. There was another blanket on the room but it felt and smelled horrible!
There were roaches found in the bathroom. The mattress is very hard and springy.
We rented the queen smoking room. They had taken out the smoke detectors all together in that room.
I understand some people don't smoke and don't like it at all, but not all smokers are neglectful and careless.
It did have a working mini fridge in the floor.

Always a pleasant stay. I stay here frequently, and it is mostly work related so I need good rest. It is always peaceful and quiet. Room was very clean, and the owner is extremely friendly and helpful.

William
We have stayed at The Trolley Stop Motel quite a few times. The check in is very smooth especially since we have stayed there a few times. The guy that's usually there is very nice. The rooms are clean and there is nothing ever to complain about. We have recommended this property to friends and family! It is located around quite a bit of dining options and right across the street from a Wawa.
Robert
Found 3 roaches in the room
Carlos
Extremely friendly and helpful! Quick with a towel, batteries, and anything to make your stay comfortable!
Darren
Fast, friendly and efficient check in. Room was clean and bed/pillows were comfortable.
Sarah LeAnn
You could tell the property had been upgraded as best it could be. The area was slightly sketchy. However, it was well worth the money for a quick stay and the customer service was great!
Youki
The staff were really nice! The room was barebones but serviceable, for the price.
Mindy
Staff were super friendly! Wasn’t the most clean place I have stayed in, the floors looked like they really needed to be mopped, there were some spots that were missed in sweeping from the person before me but for the brief time I was there it was fine. Bed was clean which was what mattered the most to me.
Dawn
You get what you pay for. The front desk guy was nice. The fridge was not cold but he fixed it. It was difficult to regulate the temperature the unit kept blowing on and off and waking me up so then I kept it on low and would keep blowing cool air after hitting the temp. I had the blanket on and the heat all the way up and still slept on sweatpants. Thankfully it was 50°. it would’ve been nice to have some Kleenex. I walked into an overpowering air freshener which I unplugged and then the next day it stunk like cigarettes in the bathroom the TV remote batteries weren’t working and it fell under the bed and dropped a battery and I wasn’t gonna go fishing for it so it ended up playing all night on mute. I brought my own coffee and didn’t want to heat it in a thin little plastic cup in the microwave so I had to go across the street to the gas station to get a paper cup but other than that it was fine. they allowed me to have an upstairs room like I asked .
WILLIAM
Heat/AC functioned well. Clean room. Building plumbing could use improvement. Close to multiple shopping and eating establishments. But the worst issue is the traffic noise, which was loud, sounded like they were driving thru the room.
Mark
The rooms are not very big but they are clean and comfortable. The gentleman running the place is very nice and accommodate
Merry
The room was clean and comfortable, and while it is definitely no-frills, the motel is in a great, convenient location. The only negative would be that the cleaning solution smell in the room was very strong - I needed to leave the window open for a few hours to clear out the bleach smell. However, I'm very sensitive to smells, so it may be that it wouldn't affect someone else (and I much prefer a clean room that smells of cleaning solution to a dirty one that doesn't.)
Brian
Convenient, great location, plenty to do in the area and reasonably priced.
Cindy
It was nice!
C Jason
An unexpected surprise... Small but clean room, good heat, nice hot shower, extra-comfortable bed. Brand new massive Wawa across the street with everything you need for a full meal or munchie attack at any hour of the day or night... overly convenient... Park in front of your room and walk or take the trolley to everything...
Olina
The accommodation is very convenient. If you pass by this area, you can choose to stay at this motel.

Jumping off point for West Philly
Prompt attention, easy checkin, convenient room. Looking for an easy place to stop visiting my kid in University City; Media was very cute and about 30 min out - worked great!
Thomas
Very nice, simple place. Clean, but my room had a strong odor of the cleaning solution that was used.
Taeeun
Good price good quality
Naomi
Bugs!
There were bugs in the room that crawled underneath the bed and into some of our things.
Melissa
I just needed a reasonably-priced place to get ready for an event I was in the area for and an overnight rest, so I didn't need all the bells and whistles, however I did require the shower to work and zero roaches, and that's where this place fell waaaaaay short.
Check-in went fine. The guy at the front desk made it quick and easy, and accommodated my request for a first-floor room.
The room was small, but fine for my needs. The bathroom was tiny, with a phone-booth sized shower stall, but appeared clean. I feel like the floors throughout could've used a good wet-mopping as it appeared there were some stains and the corners had some grit build-up, leading me to think they may not deep clean as much as quick sweeps when rooms are turned over. The furniture appeared fairly new, sheets were clean. Room had a weird smell I couldnt place. Also either prior occupant smoked in this non-smoking room or the smell permeated the walls.
I was on a time crunch to get ready but the shower wouldnt turn on despite all my trying with a very basic faucet setup, didn't have time for mgmt to play plumber or give me a different room, so I went without and felt gross going to my event.
Came back at 11pm to open my door to roaches on the door threshold. Was uneasy going to.sleep but was exhaused. Woke up at 4am to a roach crawling up the wall a foot from my pillow. Grabbed my stuff and got out. Mgr was more concerned about shower than roaches. Stay away!

Meh
First time I came I was impressed. This time not so much. My room had no water pressure, kind of dirty, door was hard to close (so I almost left it unlocked accidentally one night)
Then my neighbors were all smoking pot and being loud all night. Not sure I'll be back.
