Hotel Francis St Francisville great stay!

Marion was especially helpful at the front desk and it was so great to meet Shannon the new owner at the end of my stay! Everybody always can use areas of improvement so the only area that I mentioned to you I'm reminding you I was the microwave was totally not working and I know you will take care of it. I definitely I'm going again. Godspeed and peace!

Bad ownership

The staff were great but the owner gave me and my family of 4 the dirtiest look the whole weekend. She would look at us in a bad way and would not take her eyes off of us like she wanted to do something to us. During this stay I just lost my mom and this is how you treat your guest. If you are African American I would think twice about going there because she doesn’t want people like us staying there. She only want you to work for her which is the impression she’s giving. She made me and my family feel very uncomfortable and I worry a lot about others of my race that’s comes in contact with her. To her staff, please please be careful and safe working under her. I would never bring my family or my children to stay around there again. Kids definitely doesn’t deserve to see the ignorance that she puts out there.

My room was infested with gnats!!! I was moved to another room that had gnats but not as many. No carts with all my stuff was terrible!!!!!! Staff was nice and trued to help, but they were hardly at the counter to offer assistance. Someone should be at the front at all times. I will never stay here again!!!! No discount was even given for the infestation of gnats. I had to make my own insect repellent with apple cider vinegar which was also frustrating and uncalled for!!! The mades didn't clean the room bc it had someone's shirt in the room and food in the fridge just nasty and lazy of them!!!!

This place is truly a hidden gem worth discovering! Nestled away from the bustling highway and off the beaten path, it offers a unique sense of privacy and tranquility that can be hard to find. Despite undergoing renovations, which will only enhance its charm, my stay here was nothing short of delightful. The atmosphere is serene, making it the perfect getaway. Trust me, if you're looking for an escape that combines comfort with an element of surprise, this destination is simply unmissable!

The hotel was a bit outdated and could use a little work. But we didn’t mind it at all. We just went there to sleep because we were hunting right down the road. Staff was great. Seemed like a quiet place even seen a deer in the parking lot.

Worst hotel I’ve ever walked into.

The desk clerk was nice and accommodating. The facility is a dump. We checked into a room and the toilet was running nonstop when I raised the toilet lid water was splashing onto the seat. Went back to the desk got another room when we pulled the covers back on the bed there was a wad of hair between the sheets. We then checked out and went to the Best Western down the street same price 100x nicer. Stay at the Hotel Francis if you want to see what a non updated 1960’s hotel was like.
