Would not recommend
We reserved two rooms; they weren't even in the same building which defeated the purpose of having two rooms. The beds were super small, and the room smelled weird.

Just ok for an overnight stay.
The place was under construction. The staff was super friendly, but the rooms were very subpar. Toilets and tub faucet ran constantly. Stains in the tub, no shower curtain. The rest of the room was fine and good enough for an overnight stay, but wouldnt stay much longer than that. It was being renovated so I can give them a pass.

Awful
Awful, nothing like the images online. I was traveling with friend who uses cane to assist in walking. Our first room, downstairs, only had hot water in shower.. When reported to front desk I was told they thought they was fixes. So we were given a 2nd room, downstairs, the front door would not open. Went back to front desk, had to be given room upstairs. Which was awkward for my friend. So our 3rd room, bathroom door wouldn't close. I called other hotels in area but due to events in area they were full. This was worse hotel I have ever visited.

The road you have take to the get to the parking lot sucks. The room was nothing special for the amount of money. The front desk lady was amazing and very helpful. I beleive this hotel is more for "workers" than the general public.

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.

The Hotel Francis is the ruins of a nice property where the management has stopped doing any significant maintenance. The parking lot paving is broken up, the lighting is unpredictable and the grounds are a mess. My son and I checked into our first room, where the carpet was loose and the room stank strongly of mold. We requested a replacement room on the second storey (assuming there had been flooding on the ground floor) but this unit was also moldy. The towel racks in the bathroom were rusted. The light over the sink took five minutes to turn on. We left early in the morning, not wanting to take our chance with the free breakfast. This property should be removed from Orbitz immediately. It is a slum!

My only dislike is the Television reception. Apparently, they are using a streaming provider for their television reception, and it was consistently "buffering" causing the viewer to miss portions of the show. If they continue to use this service, I suggest they upgrade to more bandwidth or fiber. Everything else was excellent from the staff at check-in to the exceptional room. I will stay there again.

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.
