The Franciscan is ideally located one block from the beach. It's walking distance from many places to eat and the wharf. The Edgewater suite is a little dated. The decor could definitely be upgraded to more contemporary furnishings. That said, there was ample room for 5 people. The living room was spacious but the beds were a little uncomfortable. Overall, the room and facilities are average. But you cannot beat the location. I would recommend this inn. Also, if you are using the handicap parking (I'm a disabled veteran) make sure that you display your placard. Cai from the front desk chased me down and chastised me because he thought that I didn't display my placard. I didn't appreciate that kind of harassment. Cameron, on the other hand, was a great host! Thanks.

Rooms are quite small. No refrigerator unless you get suite. Pool is small and limited especially with COVID-19 restrictions. You must serve yourself. If you need towels, etc. You must ask as there is no room cleaning over a few days stay. Jacuzzi us closed. Too small for operation. Fits 2 people on a regular day. One ice machine operating only. Absolutely no coffee, etc. In lobby . We saw other places had all that and were set up for sanitary and safety for guests to enjoy. CJ at front desk was no help. Cameron was helpful. Would not stay there again. There are nicer places to stay for the same price. Wasn't worth the deal.

Great hotel- albeit a little older... Close to the harbor and many restaurants. Checking in and out was really easy. I would stay there again.
