Top The Franklin Institute Hotel Reviews

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel near Center City, located near transit and food options!"

The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The rooftop pool and location were amazing. The room was also very large which was great for our family with four children."

Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City

10/10 Excellent

"Great location....comfy beds....next door to Reading Terminal market! Close to Septa station. Great experience 👍"

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Our only complaint was that we had difficulty adding a night to our stay. The women at the front desk around 6:45pm 10/15 told us they couldn’t do it on site because we booked through Hotels.com. When I checked the Hotels.com website, it said I needed to extend the reservation with the hotel. Catch 22. I had to book a new reservation for one night."

Aloft by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing from the front desk to the bartender. Incredible view. The central location made everything so accessible and fun to walk around. Valet was Incredible as well. I cant say enough about the wonderful staff and stay."

Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was helpful"

Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown

8/10 Good

"no microwave.. else nice place to stay"

Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was beautiful, and its central location was a major plus, with a train and trolley station conveniently nearby (walking distance). The breakfast was also delicious and definitely a highlight of the stay. The restaurant staff were consistently very kind, welcoming, and attentive, and they made an effort to show that they were available and willing to help. In contrast, while the front desk receptionists were cordial, their interactions felt somewhat formal and less welcoming. They often appeared serious and made limited eye contact, which made it difficult to tell whether they had noticed guests waiting or were available to answer questions. A little more proactive acknowledgment and warmth at the front desk would have made the overall guest experience even more positive."

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent. We had a wonderful stay. The staff were very friendly and attentive."
