At The Frances Modern Inn, travellers consistently highlight charming boutique design, friendly and responsive hosts, clean and comfortable rooms with thoughtful touches, and a walkable East Austin location near great dining and bars.
Communal patios and a rooftop deck add places to unwind, with complimentary coffee, tea, and sparkling water available. Check-in is keyless and smooth, but onsite parking is very limited and tight; offsite or street options are used instead. Some guests found beds very soft or noted occasional area noise, and one review disliked the location. Expect a stylish, low-fuss stay with warm service and neighborhood charm.
