It was very quiet even though it was right off the highway. It was an older motel/hotel but it was in good condition and very inviting.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
TV picture was fuzzy (funky cable or satellite connection?), telephone inoperative. No elec outlet near head of bed; it was visible -- but not accessible -- behind headboard that was bolted to wall. Zero breakfast. No facial tissue. Avoid this place!

It was ok, but I had to wake up the attendant to get coffee at 7 am. They advertised an outdoor pool, but it was closed with the winter tarp on it, despite being mid-to-late June. When I booked the room, there was no notice that the pool was closed.

We were traveling through Franklin for a night to attend a memorial service the next day and booked the Econo Lodge. At $80 a night, it seemed reasonable for the area. Unfortunately, the experience was far from acceptable. When we arrived, the surrounding area already felt chaotic—people were partying at the gas station across the street, even climbing on cars and blasting music. At the hotel itself, the property was in terrible condition. The stairs were crumbling, concrete broken, and it was obvious that some people were living there long-term, with clothes hanging over the railings. The overall atmosphere felt unsafe. Once we checked in, we went to our room only to find it completely uncleaned—the bed was unmade, there were dirty towels left behind, trash in the bins, and even urine still in the toilet. Outside the room, trash was scattered around as well. It genuinely looked as if housekeeping had just walked off the job. The one positive was the front desk clerk—he was very kind and understanding. After we explained the situation, he immediately refunded our money with no issue. We appreciated his professionalism, but ultimately felt so uncomfortable and unsafe that we decided to leave and drive 45 minutes to another hotel instead after having already driven 4 1/2 hours and checking in at 10:30 at night Beware of this location.

The room was disgustingly filthy. The floor had not been cleaned. The bathroom tub was filthy. Paint was peeling off the door. There was no rod in the closet to hang anything (or hangers). There was no cord for the phone.
