Top The Franklin Institute Hotel Reviews

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I have stayed at the Moto. The staff is friendly, helpful and available. My room was very clean with sufficient amenities. As we are in the inner city, the morning noise outside is more than I am accustomed in my neighborhood, but it is not overwhelming. Happy hour at the bar was extended to the dinner time for me and the food, Mexican style was great. I would always stay at the Moto when I am downtown Philadelphia."
