Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

The property was very run down. The parking lot and road going in was terrible. We went to have breakfast the next morning and was told they ran out of food. Our tv didn’t work and the air conditioner barely worked. Very disappointed.

The staff were friendly but the motel is fatigued. The breakfast was good the first morning but declined every day after that. Curious that the St. Francisville police were present each evening. Would I stay here again, probably as the price is good and the folks are nice. But I'd at least know more about what I was gettting ahead of time. I wouldn't shy away from it but don't expect a squeeky clean place.

The location is convenient for local touring. No complaint about cleanliness, either. Sheets, towels, carpet, etc were all completely satisfactory. It's an older building in need of a bit of freshening. Especially the exterior. The approach drive is a tank trap; the parking area is worse. The chin-high weeds around the lake were also bothersome. The entire building also needs repainting. A bit of love, and this place would be great.

The lobby, rooms, etc did not look anything like the pictures on the website. Everything was old and outdated. The carpet was so dirty that the bottom of my grandchildren’s feet were literally black after running around in the room. We will never stay there again.

For the past seven years, I am in St. Francisville once a month. I typically stay at Hotel Francis. The staff is always friendly, however it has really gone down. The rooms are dusty, carpet is dirty and my most recent stay, there was mold in the bathroom and I didn't have a key card for the room because the machine was broken. I'm disappointed to see the lack of care for the property.

Hotel is currently being remodeled. Television reception was fuzzy and the air conditioner didn’t work correctly so the room was warmer than it should have been. There was a group of guys playing rap music and drinking beer each night I was there. No exit signs or hallways were lit and this isn’t a place for a woman Travelling alone to stay. They are also overcharging for the rooms as there was dead insects on the curtains and the room wasn’t very clean.
