My husband and I stayed for a little over a week and I was so pleased with our room. The room was very clean and the hotel staff was very accommodating. We were having family issues and there were days I felt like I was being a pain, but they never made me feel like I was bothering them. It... More

My husband and I stayed at the Franklin Inn while attending a wedding there. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the Sunday buffet was awesome, the Lounge area was hopping on Friday night, and they had wi-fi internet which was a just an added bonus. The banquet room was very nice and HUGE (for what you think a small town... More

I found this motel for my mother in law who is the ultimate critic when it comes to Hotels/Motels. She was a little hesitant because of the price but she was making a reservation for a week. When we arrived we could not believe our eyes. The room was in great condition. The beds were very comfortable it had great... More

I nearly didn't go in this place, because I thought it was closed. Around the first of April, four in the afternoon, a huge empty parking lot and no visible electric lights on! They should at least turn on their "Office" sign. It presumably gets livelier in the Summer months. Anyway, I ventured in, and found a reasonably friendly desk... More

Did not stay in the hotel, but celebrated a birthday at their Sunday brunch buffet. Was quite impressed with the variety and amount of food offered on the buffet for this small town hotel. Service was excellent, and having made no reservation in advance they set up a large table in a private room and checked on us often. The... More

The room was clean and quiet, and those are my main priorities. The high speed internet system was down until the next morning, the person on the desk did try to get it going, but really didn't know much about it. The buffet wasn't that good, however. Mostly deep fried meats and overcooked vegetables. The salad bar was iceberg lettuce... More
