Top The Franklin Institute Hotel Reviews

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location right in the heart of the city. It was walkable to pretty much everything, and the subway was only about a five-minute walk away. The staff was very friendly, and both check-in and check-out were seamless. The hotel was clean, and the room was comfortable and surprisingly quiet. Free breakfast is included, along with complimentary coffee and tea throughout the day. They also offered free beer and wine in the evening. My only minor complaint was that the rubber seal in the shower had a couple of black spots. I’ve seen this at plenty of hotels, so it’s definitely not unique to this one, but I wish hotels would pay more attention to it. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would absolutely stay here again."
