<p>When we’ve come to campus for events we have usually stayed at one of two motels in Springfield, PA on the Baltimore Pike. They are the Days Inn and the Rodeway Inn. Neither are at all fancy, but they are relatively inexpensive and only a 5 minute drive to campus (both would require a rental car for you). Some previous threads here on CC have complained about these motels being dirty, but we have not had problems, or perhaps our standards are not too high. There are a couple of B&Bs in Swarthmore itself, presumably within walking distance of campus, but I think they book up well in advance of college events, like freshman orientation and graduation.</p>
