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.

Toilet had to be plugged every time you use it. TV wouldn't go above volume 5 so there was no point in watching it. AC couldn't cool the room because the bed blocks it. Not worth what they charge.

We only needed a crash pad for the night and wanted to save some money. I guess you get what you paid for. The bed and floor had a few bugs (luckily not bed bugs), The shower had lots of hair from previous guests, and the coffee maker did not work. Would not stay there again. For $30 more stay somewhere else!
