Beds were comfortable enough and the room was clean. About the most you can ask for out of an old historic building. Just wish they had mini fridges in the rooms

My bad! I reserved a "smoking" room. Ive stayed in smoking rooms before but this was super......special, to say the least. this room was, for real, on a whole other level. I used to be a smoker and honestly it doesn't bother me like this did. It was very "chemically" smelling and almost burned! For $200 a night i felt it was way over priced. It is an historic hotel so it does have that charm. The staff was friendly and helpful but as a "local" i wont be staying there again. Hope this helps someone.

Building definitely needs some TLC, hot/cold on the shower was horrible. Every flush or water adjustment from another room affected ours. Showering was miserable.

Fun family getaway
Our stay was amazing, lots of room for the whole family. I loved the history and the genuine historic state of the hotel. The only complaint we had was the shower was nearly impossible to get a good temperature of the water. Overall we would love to stay there again.

Shower was a disaster for Seniors. My husband is 92 & there was NO WAY he could climb into a claw foot tub with no bars. Totally awful!!

Room was old and outdated. Had a queen and twin bed. Not comfortable. Had a window AC the size of a toaster barely keeping the room cool. Hallways smelled musty.

The staff was wonderful. We stayed at the Franklin before and so had very low expectations but it was cheap. Not clean. Light came between AC and window sill. Windows so dirty. Carpet was dirty.

The room smelled of mothballs and the carpet was stained all over. Hot water was so inconsistent we could not shower without freezing or scalding. Massive amounts of paint/enamel was missing all over the tub and sink.

Meh
This historic hotel is all about location and gambling. Our "suite" was dingy, had mold growing in the bathroom, a SUPER loud a/c unit, and no fridge. We requested a fridge because we had a medication that had to be refrigerated and they charged us an extra fee per day. The beds were bouncy and collapsed in the center and I was uncomfortable with the idea of sitting on the carpet.
If you plan on spending all your time in the casino or across the street at Outlaw Square, then this location can not be beat. We found our stay so unpleasant we elected to leave a day early (and they didn't credit our bill).
