The room was good. Nothing fancy, but it was clean and safe. Lots of cosmetic issues with the facility that probably earn them some bad reviews. Would stay again.

Off the road, real quiet. Nice staff. They are in the process of updating some of the rooms, so there is some construction but nothing crazy loud.

The hotel is an older building with no frills and very basic. However the staff is always pleasant, the atmosphere was quiet and the pond, lawn, trees and grounds around the hotel are well manicured and absolutely beautiful! I loved listening to the geese on the pond and other night sounds as I fell asleep!

We stayed in Oct2025. The Hotel Francis is a old motel with relatively new owners. You can tell they are slowly sprucing up the rooms, common areas, exterior, and parking area. It has a ways to go, but the management was very responsive. The rooms have new TVs, beds, AC units, etc, but our room did not have renovations of the bathroom, vanity, entrance, etc. You know you are in a old motel. The pool looked well kept and a families were swimming with their kids. They've made sure everything works, and I felt completely safe there. The breakfast is a modest self-serve: coffee, OJ, toast, cereal, etc. Based on my conversation with the friendly staff, the owners have great plans. In the meantime I'd stay again if I wanted to rest my head.

The hotel itself is no-frills and very basic, obviously an older building that hasn’t been well maintained. However the staff is always friendly and helpful and the grounds outside are well manicured and absolutely beautiful. The hotel is right beside a beautiful pond and I enjoyed hearing the geese and other night critters as I fell asleep.

I have been staying here for ten years now. This is a convenient place to if you are working at the plant. I've seen this place go from good to okay, okay to bad, bad to horrible and making it's way back up again. I look forward to seeing how they improve this place. Not offering dinner was a bummer this last stay but understood why.

The new management is top notch. There's definitely a womans touch present. Surely there was work to be done esthetically, but it was evidently underway. We specifically appreciated the interest that management and caregivers gave to myself and fellow traveler. The lake was eye candy, and considered lagniappe.

This is a decent place to stay; dated but friendly and clean. They offer a dinner service which is nice and the breakfast is very good. It didn't appear that there was any housekeeping available during a 3 day stay. Nice staff and a convenient place to stay.
