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 :)

Super friendly staff. Strange situation with lights turning on overnight by themselves; staff made sure to get workman up there. Would be helpful if added a nightlight in the bathroom for those traveling down the bunkbeds in the middle of the night.
