8/10 Good

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!
Stephanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

10/10 Excellent

The clerk was very nice and helpful. Very pretty setting.
Cheryl, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Clara, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The room's carpet was not vacuumed. There were little white flakes all over the place. The maid did not clean the room on the second day.
Albert, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Pool was IN NEED OF ATTENTION, NO CIRCULATION, ALGAE Room was in need of upgrade, paint, door and casing copromised
Leonard, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Robert-Ike, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Not clean

The hotel rooms were absolutely disgusting. The sheets were dirty, there was dust on everything. Just not cleaned well at all. The room also smelled like someone had been smoking weed.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Area was quiet and staff was super nice. Room needs updating but its was just right for a nights sleep.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very friendly town with great restaurant nearby.
Jude, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Management is very difficult to work with. It was stated to my son they would issue a refund for a stay they cancelled. Once Expedia contacted them they stated they unfortunately could not refund the money. No damages were reported, but they would not refund me. I paid for 5 night nights and he only stayed 1 night.
Sandra, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Francis St Francisville great stay!

Marion was especially helpful at the front desk and it was so great to meet Shannon the new owner at the end of my stay! Everybody always can use areas of improvement so the only area that I mentioned to you I'm reminding you I was the microwave was totally not working and I know you will take care of it. I definitely I'm going again. Godspeed and peace!

10/10 Excellent

Everything was quiet and clean. Bunch of remodeling going on, which is understandable for a new owner.
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The tvs didn’t work plus she charged me for a full stay and I didn’t have get no discounts!! Was unaware of the issue
Christine, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It's very difficult to block out light coming in around the curtains in order to sleep / the TV should be upgraded soon / the bathroom needs some serious upgrading & attention / no counter space to speak of, very very old sink / extra blankets should be placed in the room somewhere for customers to access if room becomes too cold at night / the locks on the doors are very dated....I was told that the property has been sold to new owner / investors and extensive remodel in in near future. The young lady at the front desk when I checked in is very customer oriented, very helpful and makes the customer fell welcomed to the property.
Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was a bit outdated and could use a little work. But we didn’t mind it at all. We just went there to sleep because we were hunting right down the road. Staff was great. Seemed like a quiet place even seen a deer in the parking lot.
Dillon, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good nights sleep
Aidina, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

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!
Jeremy, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The plaques of all the plantations in the main building was very nice touch, as well as the hot breakfast was amazing compared to most hotels where it's just cold. Seems like the new management is making steps in The right direction And we look forward to returning and seeing improvements
