“On May 8, 2026, my husband and I had lodgings for an overnight stay after attending a family wedding. Our accommodation was clean, noise level was quiet, and hotel was clean and modern. The restaurant housed the after-wedding party which consisted of french fries, chicken tenders, various egg rolls, and dessert; all of which was very good. I would recommend staying here based on the above, but the outstanding customer service support raised it to another level. Here’s my story. We live in New Jersey, roughly 2½ hours away. At approximately 2:30 in the afternoon my husband received a call from the hotel telling him I had left my pocketbook in the safe. Anyone who has done this before knows the sinking feeling of leaving behind a wallet filled with credit cards, driver’s license, medical insurance cards, and cash. Since it was a Saturday, hotel management agreed to send it overnight via FedEx on Monday; I was asked to call to confirm delivery. On Monday I spoke with Jean (at the front desk) and explained the reason for my call. I informed her that I hadn’t verified the contents of my pocketbook and asked if she could do this before shipment. Once Jean located the package whereabouts, she had to ensure the front desk had coverage. She retrieved the package which had been prepared for mailing, unsealed it and confirmed its contents. Jean then informed me it would be driven to the FedEx office for shipment. Thank you Jean for staying positive and patient with me. Later that day, I missed a call from the manager, Johnny. His voice mail said that our credit card was declined (human error) and asked that I provide another. His message also gave detailed shipment options and costs. Johnny returned to the hotel. I called back shortly after with another credit card. The package was driven back again, and the credit card transaction was approved. In speaking with Johnny, I asked who found my pocketbook as I wanted to thank the individual. He informed me that it is hotel protocol to have a manager check the vacated rooms to see if guests have left any personal belongings behind. The manager’s name is Doreen; however, we never had the pleasure of a conversation. Thank you Johnny for your persistence in getting my pocketbook to me. Thank you Doreen for your honesty and ensuring my pocketbook was turned in to hotel management. To conclude, I applaud the honesty, willingness to assist, and patience of Doreen, Jean, and Johnny. I hope the home office, which I will contact, will take note of their commitment to providing the Radnor Hotel’s guests with outstanding service and to a very happy ending to what could have been a sad story. Sincerely, Marie J.”

“I have my wedding block at the Radnor hotel last weekend and everything was flawless. The deluxe suite I stayed in was so beautiful, clean and organized. You could see the care in every detail. My guests loved the hotel as well! Clean, modern and sophisticated rooms. The restaurant at the hotel is incredible too! We had late night drinks and a brunch next day and it was amazing. I highly recommend the Radnor. Thank you for all the team who helped us to set up the wedding block!”

“Most comfortable, quiet, and amenity-filled hotel I’ve ever stayed at outside of an all-inclusive. I loved the convenience of the location in proximity to Bryn Mawr College, the array of nearby restaurants was fantastic, even the morning coffee bar went above and beyond with oat milk and flavor options! The best part was a well-equipped gym and close proximity to a beautiful walking path. I can’t wait to stay here again. Special thanks to the morning receptionist who had a smile on her face every time I saw her!”
