"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 Cowee Mountain Ruby Mine Hotel Reviews

Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night as we were traveling through. It’s a beautiful historic home inside and out. The staff was very helpful. We didn’t go to breakfast as we stayed in and rested, but I’m sure it was good. Will stay again when we are in the area."

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

Sapphire Inn

"Great for the price can beat it great for the price can't beat it. The owner will go out of his way to help you no matter what you need very good guy very good safe place to stay."
