What guests think

At Americas Best Value Inn Franklin, reviewers describe a budget stay with mixed experiences, where some praise clean rooms, friendly staff, and easy parking while others cite dated conditions, noise, maintenance problems, and inconsistent hot water or heat.

Room comfort and soundproofing draw frequent complaints, including thin walls, hard or springy beds, musty odors, and small, dim bathrooms. Housekeeping feedback ranges from very clean to reports of mold, roaches, and stained linens. Service is often friendly but can be unreliable, with a closed front desk at times and limited resolution of issues. Expect basic, budget accommodations with variable quality.

For the amount of money you should at least get a coffee maker in the room since the office does not open until 8am. Just luke warm water to shower.

Dry old. Windows and doors so old there are gaps a snake could crawl through. Very noisy because of traffic and paper thin walls. Got up to shower and didn’t have hot water. Was informed on checkout that the fixtures were upgraded but never tested. Manager decided to argue with me. I wouldn’t stay there again and wouldn’t recommend the property.

So the good parts included newer carpet, clean beds, easy parking and quiet area. The bad parts: beds weren't comfortable and you could feel the springs coming through and the bathroom just needed an entire gut job. The light was rusted and didnt have a cover plate, the shower curtain was molded and the worst part was the leaking ceiling that kept my friend up all night when it rained. Water was all over the bathroom when we woke up and that was obviously the reason for mold on the ceiling. For the price we paid I wasnt too upset but would def probably stay elsewhere next time.

The bed is full of springs and uncomfortable and pillows flat it took all 3 to make 1 to sleep on. The shower was slimy and dirty and the water pressure really sucked. The bathroom is a little cramped and the walls had patches and imperfections all over. The a/c did not work that great. The one good thing I liked was the rocking chair outside to sit near room while smoking or drinking but highway noise kept it a little bit from being relaxing.

Theres not enough characters available for this rating. First, the room was advertised at $90 when i booked, but i was charged $128 a night. I wouldve spent the extra $ for a better place. The building is run down and civered in spiders. None of the doors shut properly or securely and I left in the middle of the night after the adjoining room guests ventured into my room while i was sleeping. The AC took 15 minutes to kick in after turning the power on and the lighting was very very poor with only 3 lamps (only 2 working) for that very large room. The sheets had someones hair on them and the pillows were that of dollar store quality and very uncomfortable. The area is loud. The "mountain view" is actually good...if you can see through the clouded glass and spider webs.

I can’t rate the stay because nobody would ever come to the door to check me in. The reservation was made due to there being a 24 hour service desk and it was closed. I waited 20 minutes in sub freezing temps to see if anyone would come check me in. Attaching photos of closed lobby with the lights off and open sign on. The charge of $73.67 needs to be refunded.

We were told we would have free continental breakfast. We didn’t and it was still on the web. I called the desk and she was no help. Very rude and said they had coffee and juice. I specifically asked about the breakfast for two in the comments at the time of reservation. We were not advised at any time there was no food. We didn’t have any cups in the bathroom.
