Disliked: Room comfort

Cheap but not worth the savings.

The beds were very hard. Pillows were wafer-thin. The soap was the size of a pack of chiclets. Nowhere in the shower to put soap. The toilet needed human intervention in the top tank to flush and refill properly. Only coffee for breakfast. While the price was $100/night, it was not really worth it.

The bathroom walls had dirty muddy like hand prints over the toilet like someone dirty leaned over. The bed sheets and towel you couldn’t tell if they were washed or not causes of the stains. The floors were so dirty my socks were black by the time we went to bed. It was way too late in the evening to find something else. The front desk person kept changing his story about our situation. He had to ask permission to give us a room for the night.

Toilet defective, no tv instructions, refrigerator very noisy, a/c noisy, outside light shone around edge of entry door, online quote was $87, check-in price with tax was $135. Pillows and their cases very uncomfortable. I realize very old building, but maintenance is needed.

The staff were so kind, extremely supportive and helpful to me and my family. They went over and above to ensure that my stay was the best, they could offer. They offered a continental breakfast everyday. The room was ready for me, on time when I arrived. The stay was comfortably well. The room was clean, also, necessary toiletries was definitely provided. Also, nice towels, a beautiful large screen television. The room came with a small refrigerator with a top freezer… just the right size. It was quiet and a safe place. This was my second time staying at Franklin Inn. I will always stay there, whenever I am visiting Carrebelle, Fl. It is very close to everything and reasonably priced to make your vacation great. They truly care about their guests. Thank you staff members at Franklin Inn.
