Top The Franklin Institute Hotel Reviews

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love love loved my stay here!! Me & my husband came here after our wedding and it was nothing but amazing."

Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City

10/10 Excellent

"I am leaving a review because of the staff. I wish I remembered their names because they deserve to be called out. This was the day of the Microsoft issues and they were dealing with all sorts of problems. My flight had been canceled and I drove 2.5 hours to Philly to be able to get a different flight early in the morning. I booked a room while I was on my way and got in around 11pm. My reservation wasn’t pulling up, probably due to the computer issues, but they kept me informed and did everything they could to fix the issue. While working with me, rhey were resolving all sorts of other complaints being flung at them (WiFi type complaints) and people thinking these two had much control over it. They were calm and professional throughout. My issue couldn’t be formally resolved so they took all my information to update the system later and assigned me a room. I went to buy a bottle of water and they gave me one for free. They were both very nice and trying their best. I was most impressed with their attitudes through the whole thing. I hope someone on staff recognizes them for their effort."

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"I had a great stay here in Philly. The hotel was pretty clean and very well organized. Front desk staff was very helpful and welcoming.The fire alarm went off while sleeping staff was very helpful in getting everyone out and also assisting in any way they could once we were allowed to enter back in the hotel. The only downside I found was with the staff that worked valet. They were really rude and not very helpful. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would stay again."

Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my stay here and wished I been able to say longer. The room was large and really well designed. Super comfortable bed and had a lovely view from the floor to ceiling window. The staff were incredibly helpful and the breakfast was fantastic. At the front desk, I wasn't able to use a perk offered through Expedia and they immediately substituted with a $20 food credit which I used one evening - also an excellent meal. The Hyatt Centric is also in a great location - right near Rittenhouse Square and surrounded by restaurant, cafes and shops. Very easy to walk or metro around Philly. Highly recommend!"
