In short, it is a historic hotel property that is still in service and useful. As a guest, my check-in process was quick and convenient. The lobby entrance and guest room hallways feel like an antique store filled with interesting things to look at, but could really use a good deep clean and someone to de-clutter. My guest room was small, but quiet and felt safe. Bed was comfortable. Linens were clean but well used. Towels were clean. For the price point, Franklin is a reasonable value. I would stay there again. Before booking, it’s important to consider you’re staying at a very old property that seems to be operated by a family. They’re keeping an old small town hotel alive, and with a little time and some attention it could be a much improved place. ##### John G Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### melissa 21 Apr 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was freezing especially in the restaurant and hallways.
