"The staff was nice. Themission of the historic building turns hotel, is to maintain a relaxing vibe, so no television, no refrigerator, no elevators. Climate control was efficient. A problem was with checking out and their confusion on how to handle a booking that is paid for through Hotels com. Supposedly, it is a new computer system and they'll fix it. So far I'm out close to $180 on top of the amount charged to my cc by Hotels dot com. I have brought it to their attention and will hopefully...

Top Cherokee Ruby & Sapphire Mine Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"I liked the balcony on the river. Very serene but truck traffic on road across the river was loud & every 15-20 minutes. Also, I requested a shower chair ( health issues) Staff would not furnish!!?? Suggest disabled to book elsewhere."

Hampton Inn Franklin

8/10 Good

"It was clean, quiet and conveniently located. On the downside, the USB outlets were not powered up and the one lounge chair was big enough to hold a 300 lb individual but not comfortable for someone half that size. Also, being connected with the Hilton Chain the entire property could use a major remodel."

Americas Best Value Inn Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and clean, the staff were very sweet and considerate. I slept like a baby. So peaceful."

Quality Inn Franklin

8/10 Good

"This is an old comfort Inn hotel that has been updated. Nicely done, safe area and rooms are quiet. It is open as Quality Inn. Google maps says this address is closed. Has all the amenities."
