The Franklin Hotel Martha's Vineyard

Lighting switches in bathroom and towel hangers we broken, pulled out of wall. Bathroom sink faucet had some type of soap scum on it. Rooms are not insulated well, could hear the people in the next room talking an walking around all night. Not worth the price of the room. Would not stay here again.

I recently stayed at the Franklin Hotel during a solo deer hunting trip to Martha's Vineyard. Loved the cleanliness of the entire property and of my room. Though it took a bit to get used to, I also loved the automated check-in process. Front door was locked, but to be fair I am sure it was because of the snow; back door was used instead and worked just fine. Now, I know it was off season, but I also loved the privacy and quietness of the hotel overall. Didn't get to see much of the staff, but they kept everything, clean and ran a tight ship. They also did a fantastic job responding to a bad snowstorm by clearing out the parking lot and hotel entrances and stairs very quickly. Loved the location of the hotel. Overall, great experience and highly recommended. I plan on staying here again when I visit Martha's Vineyard in the future.

Terrible room

Everything was great! There are 2 things that would greatly improve The Franklin Hitel experience.The front door was broken and you could not enter through it. Side door code was used. Second, there should be flatware in the kitchen as many guests heat food in the microwave. Many thanks for a most enjoyable stay!

This is our third time staying at this hotel. We especially like the common area with the small kitchen. However we have noticed far less attention by the staff. There use to be plates, bowls,and cutlery. Now there is barely any of that. There is a broken French door out to the patio area that has not been fixed in over a year! The front door does not allow entry. When told about it, the staff didn't seem to care. I am afraid that the owners are allowing this place to get a bit run down and that is a shame.
