My mom and I stayed in the Inn for a trip to see the Lion King at the Fox Theater. It was an amazing Inn! It is 2 blocks from the downtown and walking distance to great restaurants. We ate at the Apolo Greek restaurant and it was spectacular! Our Inn keeper Judy gave us directions to attractions and made... More

Judy was an EXCELLENT host and provided us with alot of information about the inn and the area. The breakfast was perfect with quantity... More

I have to take business trips every now and then, and when I do, I dread staying to the hotel with the noise and activity. So, since my husband and I stayed at the Franklin Inn for Romantic Getaways, I thought,"Why not stay in one of the smaller rooms for my business conference?" It is quiet, peaceful, and beautiful? It... More

The Inn is centrally located near all the interesting sites and restaurants in the city. Each room has a different theme (country) and every detail has been thought through well. We stayed with our friends from Chicago and both rooms were cozy, clean, bright, and very comfortable. We enjoyed using the parlor with the fireplace in the evening for some... More

We found the Inn to be extremely delightful and romantic. The host was extremely friendly and accommodating. Our room was the Sea Breeze Suite and let me tell you, it was beyond wonderful. It was Romantic and just plain beautiful. The only problem that we did have was that was the food. Since we are a younger couple we are... More

We arrived at 8 pm and Judy met us at the door with a smile, setting the tone for our overnight stay. She showed us our room, the coffee bar, the fridge and then directed us to a great place for dinner. We skipped dessert as we were looking forward to Judy's homemade caramel-nut bars that awaited us in our... More

Entering this inn is like stepping back in american history. Judy and Ron the owners did an impressing restauration work in this building. There are lots of objects carefully arranged which bring you immediately in mind the books and films staged at the end of the 19th century. We chose the Primavera room, wonderfully decorated in Italian style. What we... More

Staying at this B&B helped make our first visit to Appleton a really good experience. We stayed in the Primavera room, which had its own balcony and was wonderfully clean and comfortable. Our host, Judy, was excited to share information about the renovations they had done to this wonderful old home, and provided us with much appreciated referrals to local... More
