Cozy, charming, and welcoming
Pros:

The rooms were clean and included snacks and toiletries. I loved the charging stations on the bedside tables. The beds were very comfy and soft. The bathrooms had really nice, vintage looking tiles and a beautiful shower. The nespresso machine in the lobby is a nice touch and brightened my morning. All of the staff are super friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

I wish the breakfast had been a little bigger, but the bagel I had was pretty good. The floor boards were creaky and there were quite a few cracks and gaps in between them, which could definitely be a tripping hazard. I was kind of surprised since the renovations seemed pretty new. The construction outside of the room could be a bit noisy, and it was pretty easy to hear chatter outside of the building.

Wonderful boutique hotel offering brilliant customer service
Pros:

The Franklin on Rittenhouse is a wonderful boutique hotel conveniently located a block from the park and within easy walking distance of the best parts of Philadelphia. The team made me feel like it was my home away from home and went beyond the call of duty to make sure my stay with them was welcoming and carefree. When the hotel had no availability for my first night in Philly, they found me accommodations nearby. When family came to visit me at the hotel they treated them as if they were guests at the hotel as well. I will be visiting Philly at least once a year and will always make the Franklin my first stop. What a terrific hotel.

I would like to make particular mention of Da’sha who really went out of her way to make me feel at home. She’s brilliant. Also Michael and Paige who made me feel welcome before I arrived and during my stay at the Franklin. What a wonderful team!

Parents' Date Night
Pros:

A unique spot in a perfect location. We parked our car in a nearby garage. Then, my husband and I were able to enjoy our one night away from kids by walking to one of the nearby cute restaurants. The staff was wonderful. At 6:30 AM, I was greeted by a darling lady at the desk named Joyful. She was so kind, one would have never guessed she had already worked all night! The staff was able to hold our bags after checkout so I did not have to lug around our suitcases while I explored the city solo during my husband's all day meeting at CHOP.

The Franklin is where it's at
Pros:

It was a tremendous experience. Had a pretty traumatic experience at an airbnb and we needed to be relocated and once I spoke with Micheal over the phone he assured me that if he can make it happen he would grant us an early check in. I was then greeted by page and the lovely Addison who got us taken cared of and had us settled in no time. Then Micheal helped get our bags to the room. And on our way out general manager Doug was as hospitable as one could be. Warm attentive and most importantly genuinely friendly without feeling phony 12/10 experience if you are in philly stay there

Uma estadia impecável: localização perfeita no melhor bairro da Filadélfia.
Pros:

Tive uma experiência simplesmente excepcional neste hotel e posso dizer, sem exagero, que foi uma das melhores hospedagens que já tive.

A localização é absolutamente perfeita. Situado em um dos melhores bairros da Filadélfia, o hotel permite explorar a cidade com enorme facilidade. Restaurantes, cafés, atrações turísticas, lojas e tudo o que você precisa estão a poucos minutos de distância. Para quem quer conhecer a cidade a pé ou aproveitar ao máximo a estadia, a localização é um diferencial enorme.

Além disso, o que realmente torna este lugar especial é a equipe. Todos os funcionários com quem tive contato foram extremamente prestativos, educados, simpáticos e genuinamente preocupados em proporcionar a melhor experiência possível aos hóspedes. É raro encontrar um atendimento tão consistente e acolhedor. Desde o check-in até o momento da partida, fui tratado com atenção, cordialidade e profissionalismo.

As instalações são excelentes, o ambiente é agradável e acolhedor, e fica evidente o cuidado com cada detalhe para que os hóspedes se sintam confortáveis e bem recebidos. É o tipo de hotel que faz você querer voltar sempre que estiver na Filadélfia.

E existe ainda um bônus especial que merece ser mencionado: às vezes você pode ter a sorte de encontrar uma cachorrinha absolutamente adorável. Ela não está presente todos os dias, então acaba sendo uma surpresa especial para os hóspedes mais afortunados. Se ela estiver por lá durante sua estadia, considere-se privilegiado, ela certamente deixa a experiência ainda mais memorável.
