Our experience at The Franklin on Rittenhouse was absolutely amazing. We were greeted by John and another sweet woman at the front desk, and they were so kind and helpful. We stayed in “The Monarch” room on the first floor. It is a very comfortable and romantic room. It was also extremely clean and updated! I loved the rainfall style shower as well. While booking the room, I mentioned that we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday, and the hotel we so kind to write her a card and left chocolates on the bed. It was such a thoughtful gesture. I cannot speak highly enough of our experience here. I highly recommend booking your stay here if you are looking for an amazing boutique hotel experience.

i love boutique hotels because of the unique designs and character. the decor was really beautiful and the staff was very friendly. however, the paint in the room was chipping in certain places. the water pressure in the shower and bathroom sink was abysmal. also, the toilet paper was holder was under the sink, so strange. overall, it was a pleasant experience.

We came at 4:00 pm when our room was supposed to be ready. It was not. The room had a broken window and one that would not close. The first night was very noisy. Our room was right by the elevator, so we heard everything.

Hotel Review I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be an overall decent option for travelers. The location is fantastic, making it easy to access nearby attractions and amenities. One of the highlights of my stay was the quality of the products provided, such as the sheets, towels, and soap, which felt luxurious and added a nice touch to my experience. Additionally, the breakfast offered a good selection of items to start the day. However, I did encounter a couple of downsides during my stay. The room was quite small, which made it a bit cramped for my liking. Moreover, I was surprised to find that there was no air conditioning, which can be a significant drawback, especially during warming season. Overall, while the hotel has its perks, potential guests should consider these factors before booking.

Clean Overall comfortable, clean hotel but room was too hot with warm early April weather and A/C didn’t work effectively. Good location.

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!
