Good for last minute stays, but needs improvements

Considering its gimmick is a haunted hotel I can’t really complain about its look but it is a bit of an uneasy establishment. The room I got had crappy service and WiFi (not blaming the hotel for that since the area isn’t near many service towers), and the bed felt a little dirty with tiny spots of stains. The tv only had so many channels available, and the bathroom was pretty dirty so I felt uncomfortable showering there. The hotel worked for the price range and convenience for me since I was only in town for a wedding.

Franklin hotel is a unique property. 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.
