Everything was quiet and clean.
Bunch of remodeling going on, which is understandable for a new owner.

Area was quiet and staff was super nice. Room needs updating but its was just right for a nights sleep.
Under new management, under construction , dirty , horrible rooms , inadequate staff , we did not stay. I would advise not recommending this hotel .

The hotel was a bit outdated and could use a little work. But we didn’t mind it at all. We just went there to sleep because we were hunting right down the road. Staff was great. Seemed like a quiet place even seen a deer in the parking lot.
The plaques of all the plantations in the main building was very nice touch, as well as the hot breakfast was amazing compared to most hotels where it's just cold. Seems like the new management is making steps in The right direction And we look forward to returning and seeing improvements
The reviews and pictures did not match the actual rooms, they were out dated and didn’t look or feel clean at all. We were also not told of the large party going on till relatively late at night
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
This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at! It’s under construction; however, this place should be torn down! Went for complimentary breakfast at 8am, and the food was all gone. Guest were looking around for the food!! It seems as if this is a rent by the week hotel, so many may live there. Trust me, stay elsewhere!!
The desk clerk was nice and accommodating. The facility is a dump. We checked into a room and the toilet was running nonstop when I raised the toilet lid water was splashing onto the seat. Went back to the desk got another room when we pulled the covers back on the bed there was a wad of hair between the sheets. We then checked out and went to the Best Western down the street same price 100x nicer. Stay at the Hotel Francis if you want to see what a non updated 1960’s hotel was like.
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!!!!
The staff made us very welcome to this older, clean, quiet beautiful spot on the map! I would highly recommend this establishment!

Good but needs upkeep
Our stay was for a wedding and I know the hotel is under going renovations but just in our room the toilet paper holder comes out of the wall when you pull on paper
The toilet flushing is very sluggish
For the most part staff are very friendly and helpful we enjoyed our stay
This is a older hotel and it needs alot of updates but it was good for the night. Our phone didn't work and some lights didn't work but we had tv and air so we were fine.

We couldn’t even stay in our room, it was the nastiest hotel I’ve ever been to, tv didn’t work, no phone, stains all over beds, spider webs, bugs, just the nastiest place, we left and found another hotel. Looks ABSOLUTELY nothing like the pic on the website!!!!
