I didn't use the breakfast option. I went to my daughter's as soon as I could.

The stopper on my sink failed to work properly --- it got stuck on closed. Nobody's fault. One suggestion I would make that's more serious is the type of light bulbs and lighting in the room (The Jane) I used. The bedside lights were useless for reading books at bedtime. The wall sconces were WAY too glaring (please, no LED lights! at least not the kind that are glaring white, especially in an old building). The ceiling lights were placed in a way that didn't help reading in bed. So the lighting concept was wrong for the room.

We stayed in the Belle Opaque room, which was an upgrade from the room I booked. It was very nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the linens and towels were luxurious. It had a separate large living room with a fireplace that felt like being in an old city home. The rooms were very clean. The location was perfect for the Rittenhouse part of the city -- close to the park, stores, and restaurants, yet on a quiet side street. The staff was helpful, when asked about a place to keep dinner leftovers cold, they quickly brought in a portable fridge, and got wine glasses on our request. I chose this hotel, because the larger, chain ones I typically stay at were fully booked, and I'm glad we did.

These are not dislikes, but just suggestions for improvement. The living room only had very bright recessed ceiling lights, which took away from the ambiance. A suggestion would be to put in a floor lamp or a dimmer switch on the ceiling lights. The room was warm and I couldn't really seem to get it cooler -- I probably just didn't spend enough time trying to figure out the controls for each room. For the price of the room at a high end boutique, it would be nice to have real glassware, rather than paper cups. Water pressure in the shower wasn't great.

Location was great, the room was lovely and 90% of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Free bottles of water were a lovely bonus. The decor and ambiance of the hotel was really pleasant.

Breakfast was a little limited. Just bagels and pastries and some fruit. Could have done with some more toppings for the bagels or some extra bits and pieces. Also the water pressure in the shower was pretty paltry. And the sofa in the room wasn't particularly uncomfortable.

This lovely hotel is situated in a trendy location, with loads of walkable restaurants, bars, shops, and pets shop which offers rescue dogs for adoption! The aesthetics are phenomenal, with gorgeous wallpapers and furniture. They offer complimentary coffee and tea, cookies, fruits, and soft drinks. With all of that, the staff at this hotel just made our stay even better. I had an unfortunate situation which made us visit the hospital, and the entire staff and management made sure I am comfortable and being well attended. We owe Philadelphia another visit, since this one was cut short, and we will definitely stay at 1715 on Rittenhouse again!

The hotel was going through some adjustments and remodeling, so there were a few super minor inconveniences, which could have been annoying if it weren't for the staff who were handling things swiftly and pleasantly. I would suggest to add a sofa/chair/extra table to the room, so that there will be a place to put one's handbag and jacket upon entry.

Room was beautiful. A bit too warm.

The maitre d at the Franklin was rude and obnoxious He actually insulted partner and physically man handled me. I am a 60 year old man Not roudy. My crime was to open the door from the street as no one was there to do it. He pulled me out of the bar and when my partner laughed nervously he tild her that she was too loud. It was infuriating.

Cute hotel in a convenient location. Friendly staff. (We were only there for a quick overnight.) They offered free breakfast on site but we wanted to go to a special cafe around the corner so only grabbed a quick juice and yogurt on our way out. The bed was very comfortable!

All good!

Rooms were large and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Top shelf baked goods and yogurt. Smoked salmon and cucumbers. Fresh juices. Really good. Nice staff. Great location. Easy to walk for meals.

Pillows were a little to firm. One softer one firmer would be great.

The room and bathroom were very pretty and quiet. The building is beautiful. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

We arrived on a very hot afternoon (97 degrees) to a west facing room that must have been 90!degrees. The chocolates left on the bed melted and leaked on the bed. Staff should have turned the ac on ahead of time. It took 6 hours for the room to reach a good temp.
