Franklin, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

I booked the hotel before seeing the reviews, all I could say is that the reviews are a little too dramatic, the only complaint I have is the water for showers, the cold is hot and the hot is cold, hopefully that makes sense lol, also the tv didn’t work that well, and parking was a bit difficult but we managed to find outside parking. But overall the rooms were clean, staff were nice, and if ur seeing the reviews after booking and are a little scared like I was, don’t worry, its actually a good hotel :)

The hotel looked Amazing in the photos. It looks nothing like that in person. It’s old and very small. The only good thing was the location. A block from little Italy

4/10 Fair

I expected a bit more, the pictures I saw about the hotel were tricky, the good thing was that the restaurants are less than 5 mins walking.

Lobby was nice, furniture comfortable. Room entrances were outdoors but within a courtyard. Small bathrooms. Room furniture has some wear and tear but bed was comfortable. Restaurant view was nice. Food and service were just ok.

Photos are not accurate

Photos looked way better than the hotel does. Heat wasn’t working properly. Dark on the catwalk and not what I expected to see when I booked. Rooms are ok, location is nice.
