Top Franklin Hotel Reviews

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Franklin

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Franklin

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms have so far been very clean! Beds and bathroom have been spotless so far. If you are looking for a fancy breakfast and lots of amenities then this won’t be the place for you…but if you just need a clean room for the night with a very well lit parking lot…then this is the place for you. Will be staying again for sure. My only critique would be the bathrooms could really use exhaust fans to keep down on moisture/smells."
