Don’t stay here
Scalding hot water was all I could get in the room even after reporting the problem. Front desk staff were helpful and pleasant but a couple of the Bartenders were rude and arrogant. There was no luggage rack and no extra blanket for a bed that pretty much just had sheets on it. No microwave, coffeemaker or tea either. The remote for the TV didn’t work. Functionally, the room was a disaster. Though the cleaning team was stellar.

Great location for dining, entertainment and local/regional transportation. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, neat, and thoughtfully designed. Hotel also has a rooftop patio in addition to a bar, restaurant and coffee shop in the lobby which were all nice amenities. Highly recommended property!

Good location, uncomfortable bed
I wanted to like this hotel more than I did. I paid $192 for a 1-night stay on a Friday night during the off season, which wasn't insanely expensive, but not a super great price either. I would give this stay a 2.5/5 star rating. Pros: -staff upon check-in was incredibly friendly and allowed me to check in at 10am for no extra charge, had solid recommendations for thrift stores and restaurants in the area -convenient to a lot of locations in Philadelphia, I walked everywhere for the duration of my stay -spacious bathroom and good water pressure Cons: -room was smaller than expected -bed was EXTREMELY uncomfortable. I tend to prefer firm beds, but this genuinely felt like I could have slept on the floor and had the same comfort level. kept waking up every hour. -had a weird experience with one of the staff when I came back from a concert on Friday night. I really wanted an iced tea and there is a sign at the cafe that says the restaurant bar staff is able to make coffee drinks there after 4pm. I asked the bartender for an iced tea, and she told me that the cafe was closed and that if I wanted, I could go downstairs to the basement and get iced tea from the vending machine. When I pointed out the sign at the cafe, she said they didn't have iced tea. -Television had AWFUL reception. I tried using the regular channels first, but there was a terrible lag between the audio and video. I tried to watch some podcasts on the TV's youtube app and encountered the same thing.

Staff was incredibly helpful and kind. Room was small but not stifling. Lots of nice, walkable areas. There is no in-house parking but they have a deal with the valet garage across the street. Loved that there was a CVS, Target, and Barnes and Noble right down the street. And a Jeni’s Ice Cream right on the corner! Had a great time and would stay at the Motto again :)
