Top Franklin Hotel Reviews

Carolina Motel

Carolina Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Simple retro motel, very clean, everything was in working order and up to date. Other than the flat screen tv, digital clock, & mini hair dryer, you stepped back in time to the 1960’s. No USB ports here! But there was a multi outlet to plug in phones & devices. Quiet. Definitely will stay here again!"
