Don't think twice! Make a reservation today!
I would highly recommend the Franklin on Rittenhouse for the location, friendly service, plush beds, ambience and comfort. The free continental breakfast menu was perfect with a good variety and seating area was inviting. We walked everywhere and only took Ubers when necesary. I can't wait to return!

Cute and clean Boutique Hotel on Rittenhouse Square. We stayed in the Maude Room. The paired ceiling killed the decor! Horrendous! I also really disliked the air freshener scent through the hotel. Too strong and not for everyone. It would keep me from coming back.
