6/10 Good

The hotel has an excellent location. Room is clean. But the accounting management is not so friendly. We have to call multiple times to receive a receipt for the stay

Everything was super comfy. The only thing that threw us off was hearing noise from other rooms/doors closing/the draft.

Motto Philadelphia

This is a charming hotel in a prime location, within walking distance of most city attractions. The lobby restaurant has a lively and fun vibe and the food is great. I requested a quieter room, and while there was no street noise, I could hear conversations from the next room—though it wasn’t very bothersome.The rooms are small but perfectly adequate, especially for solo travelers or if you not planning to stay much time in the room.Overall, I highly recommend staying here.

Brenda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A wonderful hotel!

As new visitors to Philly we were welcomed with open arms and thanks to Mo at reception, we were well guided to explore the city. The hotel provided us with a relaxing atmosphere and a way for us to ease into our day with the coffee shop downstairs. The location was perfect for exploring the bars and restaurants in Rittenhouse area, and easily walkable further into downtown. Our small drawback was the choice of timing of housekeeping, we stayed for 5 nights and our bin was quite overflowing at times.

10/10 Exceptional

Great value, Perfect location

My husband and I had tickets to see Chris Brown perform in Philly on Aug 16th, and just a week ago, the show was rescheduled to Aug 10th! We had to quickly reschedule our travel (coming from Maryland), and it was amazing to find Motto by Hilton on the Hotels.com app. Motto was a perfect overnight stay, comfy bed, centrally located near Philly’s 30th street train station, with tons of food options nearby, and easy route to the stadium.
Desiree, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very nice room in a hotel with so much to do. Wish I could have stayed more than one night.
Kailynn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good option for the price.

The staff were amazing! Mo and Mel in particular. The room was small but had everything you could need. AC was loud, walls were thin, but neither were too much of an issue. Cleanliness could have been better, but I am very particular. Overall, for the price, it was a good place to stay.
Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love the vibe of the hotel. It’s calm when you want it to be and energetic when you want it to be. We loved access to the two restaurants and cafe. The room was small but perfectly clean. We will be staying here anytime we are in Philly!
Hanna, 2-night trip
