Top The Franklin Institute Hotel Reviews

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good
"Our room was small, but clean. Bed very comfortable. One thing that was really frustrating was that the alarm clock from the previous guest was set to go off at 6am. It woke us up which was very annoying having gotten in late. It would've been nice if housekeeping staff checks these things. Our iron/steamer was missing when we opened the bag to use it, so this really made it feel like a lack of attention to detail. The person who checked us in barely smiled and made I contact. She did not offer any help or ask if we needed anything. It just didn't feel as welcoming as other places. Next time we'll go somewhere else."
