Hotel Francis is a work in progress. It is a sprawling two-floored structure that harkens back to 1960's era of fine motor hotels. New management has an arduous task ahead of it. Many features need to be updated but the staff works hard to correct issues or move you to a better spot if an isdue can't be remedied quickly. We would stay here again in a heartbeat because other aspects are wonderful. There is virtually no highway noise. The driveway is crumbling but the surrounding live oaks have been trimmed effectively and tastefully. The lake is a lovely backdrop for an afternoon stroll. I loved the "Southern Supper" of chicken & dumplings. It's only available Mon-Thurs but it was great. Hotel Francis is veteran friendly, aiming special deals toward vets.

It is a very old Hotel. We went to a night wedding and came back into a very cold room. The unit had quit and we had to change rooms. The new room was warm when we went to bed but the heater had shut down by morning. The room was very clean but that is about all I can say for it.

The staff were friendly but the motel is fatigued. The breakfast was good the first morning but declined every day after that. Curious that the St. Francisville police were present each evening. Would I stay here again, probably as the price is good and the folks are nice. But I'd at least know more about what I was gettting ahead of time. I wouldn't shy away from it but don't expect a squeeky clean place.
