The inn is as charming as the hosts. Reasonable rates, comfy beds, special snacks and drinks, wifi and great food. We stay here often and are always very relaxed and comfortable and just down the road from Moms!

Finding Francine's was a pleasant surprise in the Carbondale area of southern Illinois. This was the best bed and breakfast I have visited. The innkeepers Debbie an Roland are very personable and great cooks. Roland is a chef by trade. So my five day stay included a great variety of breakfasts. The room had a dish with various snacks and a refrigerator in the hall with water and soda all included. The room had cable television and wi-fi without an additional charge. The inn is spotless, beds comfortable: just a great find.

In a culinary desert, Francie's is a REAL find. Repeat customers come here just for the food, which is unbelievably good. We look forward to every breakfast during our stay. The current owers, Debbie & Roland, are superb hosts. Roland's background is an executive chef from Switzerland, whose attention to ingredients, presentation, and food execution is unsurpassed. Debbie will do those extra things through out your stay to make you feel you're a special guest. The B&B has a classic American B&B feel, with all kinds of conviences, including free WIFI, a fridge stocked with free drinks. There is always the aroma of something baking in the oven, which is enough to take me back!

Francie's made us feel like we were visiting with old friends. Martha and Bruce treated us like family and the food was excellent as was the service. The candlelight breakfast was a very nice touch to starting our day off after a good nights sleep in our beautiful room. Try it.....you will like it !
