The property was nicely updated. However, the hot water in my shower was not working. So cold I could not shower. So compensation in any way offered.

Hi Cassandra, Please accept my apologies, I know that there was an issue with the hot water one day but from what I understood from other guests comments it was just a delay in the hot water going up which was fixed a bit later in the afternoon. Please reach out to me my name is Giancarlo so we can talk about it please. Thank you for taking the time to let us know.

In the heart of the Old City

Pros: Great room. Near everything.
All the staff were helpful and kind. From registration to valet and concierge, everyone pitched in to help. Being close to everything we came to see was a plus. Walking distance to everything.

Federal Jury Duty

Pros: Outstanding
Cons: Have more rooms
Location: Center City and everything is within walking distance. Across the stree from Independence Hall
My wife had to serve Federal Jury Duty and The Franklin Hotel was outstanding in every way. Unfortunately, they were booked the rest of the week but helped find another place close.
