Great staff and service. Simone was playing very load music until 2am which is not the hotels fault but it was unusual.

Joe at the front desk was amazing for our check in, we had a terrible experience at an air bnb and needed a room ASAP with early check in and he got us in with no questions asked. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the entire stay was over the top. 10/10 cannot recommend enough.

Overall really bad. I checked in. First the main elevator was not working so i had to use the staff elevator. That’s fine.. no big deal. But i get up to the room, and there is no bathroom door and the bathtub/shower does not drain, the room smells really bad and the air conditioner is really loud. I asked for a new room, and they give me one. When I get into the new room, the bed was not made and it looked like someone had slept in it and it was not cleaned. So I ask for a new room. Finally get into the 3rd room, and it’s not so bad, still smells, but whatever I can deal with that.. go to take a shower and the water does not get hot.. stays at most slightly warm.. after a long day traveling. That’s just the worst feeling. At this point I am too tired to ask for a new room. overall just a really bad hotel. Not clean, smells and just not a nice environment. Bad experience.. I never do reviews… but I really had to make this review to indicate how bad this hotel.

Rooms were clean, buttons on elevators would go in and out. Pool is closed indefinitely! have to pay a fee for wifi even if you use the “free” wifi. staff was welcoming though just the ownership is very poor

The beds were rock hard and the prices were astronomical!

The best hotel location in the center of Philadelphia, within walking distance of various attractions and museums. However, the parking fee is expensive, $60 per night.

The location of the hotel was perfect. The pool was warm and big enough for my two boys (9&11) to swim. There was no hot tub/sauna which was a downfall for me. They also do not have a microwave on-site that you can usewhich was tough because we wanted to bring our breakfast and eat it in the hotel instead of Going Out. Overall it was great and I would stay there again.

The hotel is also old and the location is good

We had a very pleasant stay at The Franklin Hotel. I was checked in immediately by a very pleasant person and was given a room with a beautiful view. Our air conditioning wasn't working, and maintenance fixed it in no time. The bathroom was very spacious with a huge counter. Unfortunately it stopped working again in the middle of the night, but it wasn't the end of the world. Our room was far from the elevator and it was a quiet floor. The parking lot nearby wasn't too expensive. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

The food is great! However, the service is terrible. No one is ever at the register and everyone who walks by says they don't have one.
12.12.2017 Mark
Amazing service. Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything. Food was pretty good overall. Great place for a quick and satisfying bite to eat with a good variety of foods. Healthy options available.
22.11.2017 Ashish
Always love the tomato basil soup with flat bread. They make flat breads fresh which is great. Just wish they started early. Service is usually good as well.
10.11.2017 Erik
I work at 5th and Walnut and go here a lot for lunch. Great sandwiches and really really good soup. The soup and half sandwich meal is a perfect lunch option. A little bit pricey but based on the location it's worth it for how delicious and quick it is
03.11.2017 Neerupama
It was never a good experience the first time. But I tried it a second time for something small like Coffee. First and foremost the service was extremely slow. I had gone there with family and ordered 2 lattes. It took them almost like half an hour to make the beverages. This was the time when the restaurant was empty and not much crowd. I can only imagine what happens at rush hour. When the lattes finally came they tasted so dull. It was like they did not add any espresso shots or may be just added half a shot. I don’t know. The taste was not at all good and very sub par if you compare it to a Starbucks or any other coffee shop for the matter. This coffee was the worst. This experience left me and my family feeling disappointed and we vowed never to go there again. Avoid if you can.
