What a delightful spot! This hotel takes it to another level. The rooms are adorable, homey, yet modern & redone. The staff is super friendly and top-notch. I’ll be staying there the next time I’m in town.

Cute and clean Boutique Hotel on Rittenhouse Square. We stayed in the Maude Room. The paired ceiling killed the decor! Horrendous! I also really disliked the air freshener scent through the hotel. Too strong and not for everyone. It would keep me from coming back.

Horrible place to sleep
The amount of noise around this hotel makes it unbearable. It’s insane how much noise was made all hours of the night with the city works and night life. I would never recommend this place. They should have at least offered ear plugs

The Franklin is a nice hotel but not worth the $500 plus that they charged me for one night. The closest parking is 2 1/2 blocks away and if it was raining, I would've been soaked. It's a nice small hotel but again not worth the money.

Very nice hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Nice continental breakfast. Great bar through the green door open in the evenings. Note that there are stairs to get to some of the rooms. The recommended parking garage is a couple blocks away, so not the most convenient.
