The Hotel Francis is the ruins of a nice property where the management has stopped doing any significant maintenance. The parking lot paving is broken up, the lighting is unpredictable and the grounds are a mess. My son and I checked into our first room, where the carpet was loose and the room stank strongly of mold. We requested a replacement room on the second storey (assuming there had been flooding on the ground floor) but this unit was also moldy. The towel racks in the bathroom were rusted. The light over the sink took five minutes to turn on. We left early in the morning, not wanting to take our chance with the free breakfast. This property should be removed from Orbitz immediately. It is a slum!
It was a nice place to stay it was affordable the hotel itself is relatively older and can use some remodeling but it was still very good and it was a free dinner and breakfast included with the room the staff was very nice
My only dislike is the Television reception. Apparently, they are using a streaming provider for their television reception, and it was consistently "buffering" causing the viewer to miss portions of the show. If they continue to use this service, I suggest they upgrade to more bandwidth or fiber. Everything else was excellent from the staff at check-in to the exceptional room. I will stay there again.
The property was very run down. The parking lot and road going in was terrible. We went to have breakfast the next morning and was told they ran out of food. Our tv didn’t work and the air conditioner barely worked. Very disappointed.

REMODEL
The desk staff were very nice and helpful. Although the motel was a "Remodel," it was clean, the breakfast was really good. The negative was that the television cable service blinked off and on. That was annoying. However, for the amount that we paid, it was nice.
The customer service here is unbelievable. Everyone is friendly. When speaking with Maryan, she was so helpful and kind. She helped me more than I can ever say. I would definitely book here again.
The staff made us very welcome to this older, clean, quiet beautiful spot on the map! I would highly recommend this establishment!

Way too loud. Staff unwilling to allow late checkout even though i would have rebooked frequently for work. Not a good enough stay to use again because of their unwillingness to allow me to stay 4 extra hrs even if i paid a portion of the daily rate to do so. Had it not been so noisy might have been willing to pay for a whole extra day.
After the second time of going to the office from having nats, to the water not shutting off in the shower they had to switch us rooms so we could at least shower.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The rooms were clean but there was only 1 bath towel in the room between 2 people. We went to the front desk to ask for more and was told they would bring us some in 5 minutes to our room.. nearly 2 hours later my friend went to find a housekeeper to be told she only had one to give us when her cart was full of towels. We called the desk again and still was not given towels when asked. The towel in the room had stains on it, another reason we asked for more towels. The property could use a lot of TLC! The photos are extremely false! The property nearly looks deserted especially around the lake/pond area. Thankfully the rooms were clean.
