Franciscan Hotel
The hotel is in need of renovation. Furnishings are old. There are no phones in the rooms to reach the front desk. My TV remotes did not work and I had to go out in the rain to request help from the front desk. Breakfast was good.

4/10 Fair

Car was quieter than my room
Bed is super comfortable, but when they put all the guests in one part of the building, all I heard was people going up and down the stairs, loud TV and baby crying at 11pm. Then trash pick up at 7am. Not a restful night. Poor shower drainage. Left early

Super uncomfortable bed
The bed was SO hard and the walls are very thin so our neighbors tv could be heard and was LOUD. The ac unit looks like its from the 70s and we couldnt get it to work so opened a window.

She said yes.” My husband retirned to Kari @ Froont Desk & sain” The maid says our room is ready” Oh ari “ Welk, I have to call the maid.” 4:25 pm still waiting…. Apoarently, check is is NOT at 4 pm.
