I loved this hotel so much!!! The front desk ladies were absolutely wonderful! Super nice and helpful! The room was gorgeous and had everything I needed to cook all my food. The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom is stunning! I loved the sauna, probably the best sauna I’ve ever used! We’ll definitely stay here again!!!

Overall this was a decent stay. The room was big and clean, and reasonable but not amazing value for money, although it's NYC.

The Franklin Guesthouse charges a non-advertised resort fee when you arrive. Room was nice, but the resort fee was unwelcome.

Our room was perfect for our stay. The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean and well appointed. The kitchen was well supplied and the couch and table were put to good use. Franklin Guesthouse was very close to the person we were visiting, we walked to restaurants and grocery stores. Very convenient! And a big bonus, friendly staff! Will definitely stay here again.

My girlfriend and I booked our anniversary at this hotel. The room was very spacious and clean, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. My one complaint is there was a fair amount of noise from furniture being moved throughout the morning above our room making it difficult to sleep in the early AM, but otherwise had a tremendous experience.
