The room was very clean, but quite small (apparently, MOTTO is a 'microhotel'---interesting). But the room had everything needed, except room for much clothing (but I am told there are bigger rooms, if more space is required.) Anyway, our room was fine, as we were only there for a long weekend. The front desk staff was delightful. And there is a wonderful Mexican restaurant (and bar) on the premises, plus a cool coffee shop by the entrance. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a trendy hotel in the heart of Philly. Checkin was courteous and easy. Our room was small, but it worked fine for our overnight stay. Comfortable bed and good shower. Easy to walk to Philly attractions, plenty of food, bars, shopping nearby. Coffee shop in the foyer. We parked in the lot across the street ($50 for 24 hours). Would recommend for a short stay in Philly.
