Family Christmas trip tradition
This is the 4th time I've stayed here and love it. The rooms are clean, it's quiet, the staff is great, the coffee shop and the restaurant are amazing and it's in a great location. I always park across the street and walk everywhere. Will definitely stay here the next time I'm in Philly.

Walls very thin, heard couple next door getting very friendly. Housekeeping also tried to open our door two different days while we were still in bed, even with our door tag on.

Great location & fine for a night or two
This hotel is in a great location & has a nice vibe! Mo on the front desk is amazingly helpful & the bar is well-priced but it's strange that it closes at 10.30pm on a Fri night. The issue is the room-to-room noise - especially how loudly you can hear the blinds opening & closing in other rooms (weird!) - & noise from the hall into the room (thanks drunk guys for talking really loudly in the hall for 10 mins at 3am!). So, absolutely fine for a night or two & lovely, friendly staff, but I'd avoid for a longer stay.

I was very comfortable at The Motto
My stay with The Motto was absolutely amazing. The vibe, the look (rooms, lobby, hallway), the service was just great. The mexican theme restaurant wasn’t my thing. But I would still come back 100%.

Holiday Weekend Getaway
I decided to stay at this hotel because of the reviews and the in location meal options, which I never took advantage of! All staff that I came into contact with were friendly and professional. I went in knowing they only had communal microwaves in the basement but I appreciated the in room mini fridge. Room was clean and comfortable.I would like to stay again when it's warmer to take full advantage of the rooftop restaurant.

Great for a quick stay
The hotel is located next to everything I needed. Stayed for the Philadelphia marathon and it was just a mile walk to the start line! Sound proofing isn’t the best in the rooms- I could clearly hear conversations in the hall, my neighbor coughing, etc but it was clean and comfortable for what I needed.

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.
