What guests think

At Quality Inn Franklin, reviewers frequently praise friendly, helpful staff and generally clean rooms, while noting recurring drawbacks like dated or worn elements, occasional pests and musty odors, inconsistent housekeeping, and breakfast that can feel minimal or repetitive.

Families appreciate the indoor pool, though it is sometimes cold, and several reviews cite elevator outages and ongoing renovations that caused minor inconvenience.

The room and lobby were nice enough but the elevator wasn't working and they did not have first floor rooms available. This was okay for me but would have been impossible if my handicapped mother had come, like originally planned. The indoor pool was adequate but it definitely wasn't heated. My son still enjoyed it, though. The hair dryer in the bathroom sparked and smoked when I turned it on--good thing it wasn't next to my hair yet!

Everything was really good with this hotel with the exception the elevator never worked the four days we stayed. It was over the holiday weekend but I’m sure they could’ve had someone fix it.

This property is currently under going a major renovation. The staff made sure all needs were met and the work was not disruptive. Can't say more about how easy it was to forget how much work was being done, with no inconvenience to the guests

There are not a lot of quality Inns in and around Franklin and therefore I did not have a lot of choices. I have stayed at Comfort Inns while traveling and usually they are pretty good. This one was not. The carpet in the hallway was dirty and smelled. Inside the room the a/c heater was moldy smelling when blowing. I had to get some Freebreeze car freshener clips and put one the vents just to be able to run it. The mattress was very thin and hard. Was booked for two nights and only stayed one due to the quality of the room.

Room was smelly…musty. Carpet was in poor condition. Not sure if odor was from wall A/C or the carpet. Room was adequate for a quick overnight stay. Breakfast was a packaged muffin, yogurt & coffee. We took it to our room because seating was minimal. I would not recommend this hotel. Check in & out process was incredibly slow because the owners appear to live on site & were obviously doing other tasks.

Worst hotel with lots of bugs roaming inside the room. I switched atleast 3 rooms and finally settled with last one with no other choice. Front desk was polite in switching rooms. Below average breakfast. Close to near by restaurants. Probably will never visit again. Im pretty disappointed with rating shared in Expedia & the ground reality of this hotel. I prefer to get refunded for my booking.

The property was easy to access from the main highway. It was relatively close to several restaurants. The attendants were friendly and helpful. What I disliked: The pillows were soiled and when I tried to sleep all I could smell were someone else’s body odor. ( It turned my stomach and ruined my quality of sleep.)The sheets were ok. The bed was worn out. Most definitely next time in the region other motels will be selected.

We were in town for a funeral and chose this hotel based off of other reviews. Check in was easy. When we opened the door to our room I could instantly smell it was musty but the a/c was off so we tuned that on. During the night I woke up because I was itchy everywhere. I started to look around the room and found mold and dirt where the refrigerator is placed. I went to the front desk to inform them and they moved us to another room..not much better…disgusting stain on the comforter and mold and dirt around the refrigerator. I’ve posted pics of the room, lamp shades and the ice maker in the lobby. This place is disgusting!!

Nothing. The only room service we got was exchange towels. We had to empty trash cans. Never cleaned floors the whole time we were there. Pillows were yellow, only had clean pillow cases on the yellow pillows. Not a good experience.

Clean room with KIDDIE-SIZE TOILET. 13 in tall and right up against the wall! Totally NOT acceptable for adults. No excuse for not replacing with a modern standard taller toilet. One of the Queen-size beds was broken and made loud popping sounds so couldn't be used to sleep on. Very noisy thin walls. Won't be staying there again.

Property is older, the hallways had a kind of musty smell. Furnishings were kinda worn. Good size bathroom with good water pressure. The towels were rough and seemed to be stained. Needed replacing.

Customer service was terrible. They were rude from the start. Immediately upon laying on the mattress, I could tell it was cheap. Every move my wife made almost shook me out of the bed. Thank goodness there were two beds on the room. The mattresses were so thin they caused my hips to hurt after a short time.

We stayed here for one night after attending a late evening graduation at Western Carolina University. We checked in extremely late but that process went smoothly. The only issue we had was with the TV remote but someone came promptly and fixed that issue. Breakfast was included with our stay. The dining area was kept extremely clean by a cheerful and pleasant staff member. We tipped her very well to show our appreciation. You won't go wrong staying here!

Generally satisfactory property. Our main criticism is of the breakfast in the morning. Much of the food was gone when we went into the dining room a few minutes after 9 o'clock, and no attendant was visible to address the issue. When I found her in an adjoining area and mentioned the lack of eggs, sausage, and flatware it seemed to me that she was ungrateful for the information. She did (eventually) bring more of the missing items, but with several people waiting for breakfast food and supplies, a good experience would have involved a more positive and punctual response.
