Accommodations were antiquated, but homely, the scenery/deers made it nice. the convenience of the restaurant made the stay better. a little pricey for the amenities and of course lower than surrounding chain hotels. will stay again, hopefully will have rate specials :-)

On the east edge of town and much nicer and cozier than the "chain" hotels/motels north of town. Will definitely stay here on future visits. The city and all surrounding areas were a treat from "big city life"------wish I could reside in area year round.

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

We were assigned our room and before we started unloading I checked out the room. It was not a queen size bed but two... 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

No too many choices in this small boring town. Will never go back to this motel. Staff was ignorant, Restraunt was overpriced and not very tasty. The owner Pat, Kept making comments about my Date's Chest size! We couldn't believe it! We will take a tent next time and camp.

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
