Home town feeling
Pros:

We were pleasantly surprise at the size of the room, very large, very clean and inviting. The small home town feeling of Franklin was present when we checked in. The staff was very inviting and knowledgeable.

Pros:

Price and it was comfortable

Cons:

Needed a blanket on bed besides the comforter which was very thin. I don't like to sleep in a warm room, so I didn't turn heat up.

Pros:

The motel was easy on/off the highway. Very comfortable beds and nice shower. Fairly large room as well.

It would have been nice to have some bagels or fruit as breakfast options. We stopped instead after we left the motel. Not a deal breaker. It suited our needs for a one night stay.

Franklin itself did not have any restaurants that were open. We walked instead to a grocery store for dinner options. There is a gas station next to the motel with some food as well.

Pros:

This hotel was the cleanest one we have ever stayed in, both inside and outside.

Cons:

Ask for REAL pillows. The ones on the bed were decorative - not something we would sleep on.

Super clean, very comfortable and secure!
Pros:

Extremely clean and very comfortable room for an overnight stay on my way through Nebraska. I felt safe and secure here. Easy to find, very friendly manager/owner, would recommend if you're passing through Franklin. Good recommendation for a local burger place, the Tipsy Cow, was appreciated as the food was delicious.

Cons:

Not much to pick from for breakfast, but not a deal breaker. Not much going on in Franklin, but again, I was just passing through...it's not a destination.

Pros:

This is a cute little place, almost in the middle of nowhere! While there are not many choices for places to stay in this area, do not feel like you will have to settle for something dirty or shady when staying here. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable. Fixtures are dated but everything we needed was available here, and it was clean. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. There is a small, self-serve continental breakfast & coffee area available (remember those?). I am not a breakfast person, but some may appreciate more choices for breakfast. However, it's nothing that would stop us from coming back. Give this place a try!
