Cozy
by VDB
Hospitable, like taking a step back in time. If you need to stay in the UES, this is where you should spend your dreaming hours! It is like a refuge in the UES, quaint rooms that make you feel at home!

Nice for the price
by jennem
The Franklin is one of the few hotels on the Upper East Side, and as so manages to place a high price on its rooms. And those rooms are small. Still, they are nicely appointed, spotless, and comfortable, with top-rate toiletries and amenities.
- Pros: Good location, Nice amenities, Lovely
- Cons: Small rooms, A bit pricey

My home in New York
by phoenix_68
I've stayed at The Franklin at least a half dozen times over the last three years. The staff is always friendly and helpful. And, since I usually travel alone, I feel like they look out for me. The rooms, while small, are always clean and well stocked with great linens and Aveda shampoo, conditioner and lotion. The atmosphere, complete with fresh flowers, is very welcoming and comfy.
- Pros: friendly staff, parking available, Aveda products
- Cons: room size
