Loved it!

Our flight got canceled and we stayed in Philly for the night. Found The Franklin on Hotels.com for a good rate and took a chance. We were so pleasantly surprised. We stayed in one of the apartment-style rooms—I loved the interior design. Beautiful and new. Will definitely stay next time I’m in town!

Repeat Visitors to The Franklin

My husband and I love this boutique hotel. It only has 20 rooms and each is decorated differently. The front desk folks and those who staff the breakfast (free) room are always professional and friendly. Rooms are very clean and beds are very comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located to Rittenhouse Square where we often visit our son. Definitely give it a try!
Patricia, 1-night trip
