Not clean

The hotel rooms were absolutely disgusting. The sheets were dirty, there was dust on everything. Just not cleaned well at all. The room also smelled like someone had been smoking weed.

The hotel room was less than expected when it came to any kind of comfort. The service was extremely rude, no cable, our room smelled of weed smoke which we complained of and they did not offer to move us. My husband got extremely nauseous and still nothing was done. My grandson and kids were told they couldn’t swim and locked the pool area 2 hours before it was supposed to regardless of it being 83 degrees outside. Do NOT STAY HERE!

It's very difficult to block out light coming in around the curtains in order to sleep / the TV should be upgraded soon / the bathroom needs some serious upgrading & attention / no counter space to speak of, very very old sink / extra blankets should be placed in the room somewhere for customers to access if room becomes too cold at night / the locks on the doors are very dated....I was told that the property has been sold to new owner / investors and extensive remodel in in near future. The young lady at the front desk when I checked in is very customer oriented, very helpful and makes the customer fell welcomed to the property.

Hotel Francis St Francisville great stay!

Marion was especially helpful at the front desk and it was so great to meet Shannon the new owner at the end of my stay! Everybody always can use areas of improvement so the only area that I mentioned to you I'm reminding you I was the microwave was totally not working and I know you will take care of it. I definitely I'm going again. Godspeed and peace!

Bad ownership

The staff were great but the owner gave me and my family of 4 the dirtiest look the whole weekend. She would look at us in a bad way and would not take her eyes off of us like she wanted to do something to us. During this stay I just lost my mom and this is how you treat your guest. If you are African American I would think twice about going there because she doesn’t want people like us staying there. She only want you to work for her which is the impression she’s giving. She made me and my family feel very uncomfortable and I worry a lot about others of my race that’s comes in contact with her. To her staff, please please be careful and safe working under her. I would never bring my family or my children to stay around there again. Kids definitely doesn’t deserve to see the ignorance that she puts out there.

My room was infested with gnats!!! I was moved to another room that had gnats but not as many. No carts with all my stuff was terrible!!!!!! Staff was nice and trued to help, but they were hardly at the counter to offer assistance. Someone should be at the front at all times. I will never stay here again!!!! No discount was even given for the infestation of gnats. I had to make my own insect repellent with apple cider vinegar which was also frustrating and uncalled for!!! The mades didn't clean the room bc it had someone's shirt in the room and food in the fridge just nasty and lazy of them!!!!
