Visitors' Reviews
We are retired New Yorkers and were visiting family on the Upper East side. We originally selected this small Boutique hotel just because of its location. But were we pleasantly surprised ! The staff could not do enough for us. They responded to our needs almost instantly. Al;though the room was cozy, it was absolutely immaculate. We think that the bed linens might have been ironed. Each morning we enjoyed the very complete Continental breakfast. The quality was exceptional. In the afternoons we were surprised with a wine and cheese hour. Everything was to our liking. A New York Times was delivered to our door each morning and we enjoyed the large flat screen TV. Even when we ordered a Limo to the airport, it was there when requested. Whatever we mention in this review, my wife and I feel that this hotel deserves the highest rating. Everything was made to feel personal . It is not what you usually find with the large hotel chains. If you do not mind a smaller room and you do not require a pool or full restaurant on premises, this small Hotel would be for you. Its location is great.

This was the first time in NYC for both my daughter and myself. We had some concerns before visiting regarding transportation in Manhattan and personal safety in general. I felt confident in the level of quality that the hotel would offer based on other Travel agency reviews, and I did find those reviews to be generally accurate and helpful. It was a very friendly place with a relaxing parlor for breakfast (various pastries, cereals, coffees, juices, cheeses, cold cuts) and the evening wine and cheese offering. The free wireless was nice, as well as the computer with printer in the lobby. We opted to travel exclusively by bus and subway (both methods having stops within a block of the hotel), having purchased 7-day ($25) Metro passes at the newsagents in the airport. We walked to Central Park, only 3 blocks to the west. We would also recommend the Bella Cucina Restaurant, across the street from the hotel. There is a Starbucks (if you must), a Barnes and Noble, a bakery, and a grocer's all within a block. We never felt even remotely unsafe; it was nice to see the welcoming doorman outside the hotel in the late evenings.

Staying on the upper East side is great if you do not want to be in the thick of tourist crowd. Close enough to walk to most major museums, close to great Madison Avenue. We felt safe and taken care of, staff were helpful. Breakfast was good, cappuccino was great! Easy to get to via bus/subway from La Guardia airport, close to 4,5, & 6 subway train lines. Room was big enough for the two of us, bed was very comfortable. If you are someone who travels with many suitcases for a couple of nights, this might not be the place for you, as the closet is small.

Service. The people in the hotel made extreme efforts to help us out and make our stay fantastic. Breakfast seemed to be a bit hectic. Could use some more hands on Sunday morning. The Franklin Hotel was spectacular. The location was terrific (right across from the express subway), the internet access was helpful, the staff was personable (like we had known them our whole lives), and the rooms were surprisingly clean and fresh. We loved our stay. Truly loved it.

Intimacy of the space, food, and staff was perfect. Hotel public spaces were way too small. Seats only 6 comfortably. Staff, food, location and room were great - better than expected. Public space was ridiculously small. A lot of waiting and a lot of patience to get into the room get food then stand in the hall to eat.

Clean and cozy in a very comfortable neighborhood. The staff was very courteous. I t was a positive experience except for one detail. The window mounted air conditioner was unreliable and noisy which was unfortunate and cast a negative light over my stay.? I'd probably rethink my decision if I were visiting during warm weather months.

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the Franklin. I loved the decor although the rooms are small. I enjoyed the little breakfast and wine and cheese they have. On the second day we got down to the breakfast a little later and it was packed, and they had run out of some food. But overall I had a great experience and would definitely come back again and again.
