Top The Franklin Institute Hotel Reviews

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a good stay. The location is excellent, the room was clean, the air conditioning worked well, and the breakfast had a good selection. The gym was also very good, although often crowded. The main downside was the service. Housekeeping was only provided every two days, and the room could use a few more basic amenities. We requested a kettle but never received one. We also had to follow up several times with the front desk after being told someone would come to our room but no one showed up. The staff could also have been more helpful and welcoming. Overall, a good hotel with a great location, but the service could be improved."

Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Was very clean and staff was amazing the staff did a fantastic job, the hotel was in a good central location for walking to near by attractions, restaurants staff am good was amazing"

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"The whole hotel was very clean, staff was very helpful and addressed every concern we had. Someone we didn’t know knocked on our door around 11:15 pm. We called the front desk and security came right up to our room to check out the situation. It turned out to be someone at the wrong room. The only thing we didn’t like was the size of the rooms and lack of someplace to sit other than the bed(only 1 desk chair in the room). Also note there is no restaurant, snack shop or breakfast in the Hotel. Other than that we had a great stay 😉"
