The rooms are really tiny. No couch. Concrete ceiling. No iron (you have to call for one to be brought up to you). No real space... Cute for a quick 1 night trip in and out.

Clean room, nice staff. This property also has a coffee shop and restaurant. You will be close to the Love sign, reading terminal market and clothing stores. Would recommend for a weekend trip or a quick gateway.

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.
